Dayle Garlett would have been a good pick at pick 12. What the hell is going on.

He is a [censored] obviously.

 

Dayle Garlett would have been a good pick at pick 12. What the hell is going on.

Clearly there is an issue with Gartlett wouldn't you say?

Even the eagles and Fremantle have shown no interest

 

Dean Terlich?????

22year old from Norwood, previously Swans listed player...

so we will not use pick 3 in PSD...

Probably most interesting thing to come out of the night. That we rate guys like Jones and Terlich above the potentials there says something.

 

Wouldn't we have been better off to pass on the last one and use the #3 pick. That way we could have taken our time to sort through everything that is available??

SO HAPPY

TOUMPAS,VINEY,HOGAN = CHECK MATE

So it's over now.

People who know stuff: any surprises? Anyone overlooked, or slid a long way?

Hahah, I don't really know much, but I'll give it a crack.

Dayle Garlett was obviously seen as too big a risk by clubs.

Sam Colquhoun was a little suprising that he didn't get picked up.

Jason Pongracic was another player that some people mentioned as likely to be picked up.

SEN mentioned that clubs in this day and age just can't afford going for some of these players that are seen as a risk to their profile (sponsorship etc) where a 5-10 years ago these players would just have been picked on their game, not the whole package (if that makes sense).


Because we knew who we wanted in advance and the player we wanted was still there?

gee thanks


Personally I liked the idea of big body Wines. Plus I thought his connection to the Viney's was a bonus. However, recent reading plus an interview where I saw the humility and commonsense of Toumpas changed my mind. I wish both these boys long and injury free careers - so long as Jimmy's is better!

 

Wasn't Colquhoun supposed to be late 1st early 2nd round?

I'm amazed he didn't get picked up!

Garlett must have attitude problems to not get picked up. He was expected to be 1st or 2nd round like Colquhoun too wasn't he?

Quick summary, please??

I'll give you a quick summary ...

Shattered !!!

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
