This isn't necessarily what I'd do, or what i think certain players are worth, this is what I believe the club is intending/wanting to do. They have canvassed that their early picks are on the trade table should a deal be deemed suitable and from every conversation I hear from Harrington it leads me to believe that their preference is to trade pick 13 for a mature player, or package. Especially if Viney comes in the second round.

    I agree ........ if we get Viney in the second round.

    But I'd say that one of either 13 or 26 will be a kid and the other a mature player.

    Depends on...

    Dawes?

    Caddy?

    other?

    Dawes at 13 would be a gross overpayment: is Wayne Swan running our budget?

    I'm a fan. Looks like a young quick version of Shannon Grant. 200+ game player. Yes please if at 13.

    Hold on to pick 13, use it on Kennedy and utilise picks later in the draft to pick up some mature bodies and established players in the ilk of Towers, Galea and so on.

    Would love to get him but i think our chances are slim.

    He would slot into our side from day 1 as small forward and then develop into a mid.

    He does look a good prospect, I hope we dont go wasting pick 13 on mature body that is over priced, when we could get a player hopefully like Kennedy or Stringer who has potentially far greater ability. We should be able to pick up harder older bodies with later draft picks, there is likely to be a flurry of players who cannot be traded who will be dropped to make way for new/fresh blood.

    This kid is a gun and is going to be a champion.

    Explosive quickness and yet of his avg. 26 disposals nearly half (11) were conrested...he gets to the bottom of.

    packs and then breaks away

    Small forward pocket who with little midfield experience still averaged 5 clearances a game.

    Dual u/18 AA who was nearly taken in last years mini draft by adelaide.

    Spent his career with people telling him he's too short and still gotten to where he is...

    He must be a competitive beast.

    I would happily see the MFC use our pick 4 on him

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
