Players not selected in the ND ...

It looks like we won't be participating in the PSD unless we delist someone but that's unlikely as all players are now contracted.

The rookie draft gives us two more picks with the first of these coming in at #3.

That leads us to the question of who's available or who wasn't picked tonight?

I didn't hear Sam Colquhoun of Central District, SA being called out.

Surprise to me as he was a prolific ball winner during the under 18 champs. I wonder if there's a story behind that?

A few other names missing as well, some because of question marks about their conduct.

Dayle Garlett overlooked. Potential top 20 draftee.

Bad behavior off field has prevented him from being selected

Yes, isn't that amazing.

PSD possibility?

Would we pull the trigger in the RD?

Matthew Haynes - elite speed, was a projected top 20 pick last year, AIS program. Didn't have a great year in the TAC but would be worth a rookie.

Wouldn't touch him, last thing we need is more bad publicity if he nicks up.

Jurrah leaving the way he did probably making us steer away even more I think.

Clearly misses on one of Toddy's KPIs - character.

I would take a punt on Garlett.

Read him the riot act with Neeld giving him the thousand mile death stare.

Could pay huge dividends.

We haven't had the senior group to help a kid like that but talent is talent.

Maybe we aren't ready to take on a project like that just yet...

Now this is a guy worth a punt!

Yes from me, didn't have a great year but has a huge upside. With the senior bodies we have now we could afford to take him on. As he is a Carey boy the Viney's will know if he has the right attributes.

Garlett

he is with the punt for sure

Like demon said get Neeld to give it to him straight if he stuffs up he's out the door and I'm pretty sure if he was saying it to me I would be on the straight and narrow trying to repay him for his faith

Lol I wonder if that was what Voss thought when he recruited Fev!

Garlett's talent is so seductive but I couldn't stand another season of off field stuff we have had to put up with this year. Bring on 2013.

Andrew Boston

Leigh Osborne

Shannon Taylor

Boston could be good as a longer term small forward. Bit of time in Casey as understudy to Byrne's / Rodan. Knows where the goals are.

I would not loose any sleep if we had the chance, passed and he went on to make it somewhere else. We just cannot afford a bloke with the ability to stuff up with crap still hanging over us.

Many good ones still available IMO ...

SA : Colquohoun, Vfl - Osborne , Vic TAC: Pongracic , Hams, Mansfield, Haynes , Ballard WAFL: Nelson, Warrell , Lowrie , Wilkins .

Qld : Boston.

For me, Sam Colquohoun has Elite skills and class, and Jacob Ballard is a ballwinner with a mature build. These guys are unlucky not to get drafted and are "good" rookie options. Plenty of good players have come through as rookie. They take the disappointment and drive harder.

Tipgunwuti ?...

Based on the brief set of highlights, I would like to see him rookied,

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
