Would of Love to see him in the Melbourne Chair Come Draft time.

Who is our head recruiter?

Is any one actually worried we might not have a proven recruiter with a good track record next to his name?.

    We looked at this several months ago. Worth discussing again IMO. Isn't Rendell now at Coll? What's happening with the 2IC at Coll who is supposedly coming to us? Are we largely going to be led by Tod Viney and Tim Harrington going into this draft? Now we only have a couple of 2012 games to go, the draft must be a major priority.

    Edit: Interesting that many have bagged Prendegast for his legacy, yet no one has commented on Harrington part in our list selection.

    Quite agree with that, it was farcical when we had to ask listed players to go back on the Rookie List so we could draft other players without having to delist any of the "Stars" that BP recruited.

    Yep, he must come under scrutiny and yes we should have pushed for Rendell, I don't think he has signed on at Collingwood.

    My recollection is that Collingwoods Recruiting 2 IC - Jason Taylor? - will assume role of Recruiting Head after the draft and Viney will return to his GM Player Development Role.

    Taylor wanted to join Neeld at Melbourne but was made by the Pies to serve out the final year of his contract.

    Well let's hope that Taylor is really [censored] off with the Pies and leaves them with a load of rubbish. I guess as a professional, he won't, but one can but dream.

    But seriously, this IS our most important draft and I hope that any potential perceived conflict of interest on Todd's part does not effect adversely on his calls, either by being "too easy" or overcompensating and being too harsh on the JV call.

    I'm sure that's why JMac was delisted because there were very few players out of contract. We had to free up the list to be active in the National Draft. Very poor list management during that period.

    Taylor is definitely on Coll's staff list still. No mention of Rendell on it, though. I was under the impression Rendell had been poached by Bucks. If Taylor's future is with us, why doesn't he just resign and leave? Everyone in AFL circles gets poached if they are good and has to break a contract at some point. Neeld did it to come to us, Malthouse did it to go to the Pies (and broke it to leave them). Could it be deemed a restraint of trade to force him to stay? As many have said, this could be a make or break draft for the Dees.

    Rendell? [censored] no ... why have someone like him when you can have a past champion there to call out the name of his own son in the most important draft in the club's history?

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
