The Demons filled their objectives of selecting tall forwards along with the best players available at each pick, said recruiting manager Barry Prendergast.

Draft summary

"We had a slant towards talls, but we ... just thought that the players we picked were pretty much the best available at those particular picks. Troy Davis has got a body that could quickly step up to playing in the AFL and so has Tom McDonald, so while the talls can quite often take a longer period of time, these guys - at least three of them - we'd expect to step up quickly.

"We acknowledged that tall forwards were an area that we needed to bolster in our list, but we were able to get what we were after at the opportunities that presented. Like every club ... we're very happy."

These were the words of our Recruiting Manager after the Draft.

I wonder if they see Cook or Howe as a pinch hitter in the ruck?

Cook has the height and Howe has the leap.

As I have said many times, talls take time, and we won't know who will develop.

We'll see ...

But for the time being - Spencer will shadow Jamar.

Fitzy and Gawn must be our project players.
