Brett Anderson's Inside Football Mock Draft has us taking this player:-

Suits me.

Suits me too 'Jack',but I doubt it will happen couldn't see him getting past Collingwood if he slips down. I still think he is the best option for GWS but everyone is saying Kelly.

Could be a very interesting draft night for us. Some saying Freeman is a lock, others saying Scharenberg could slip to 9 and maybe even Salem.

I was listening to Finney on SEN on my way home and he did a phantom draft with two (expert) guests (didn't catch their names). They had us taking Salem at 9. Whilst I have heard his name and read up on him in other phantom drafts, I have not heard his name too much on here. His draft combine results seem good, does any one have any info on him?

I think Brett Anderson was on Finey's show tonight, he and Ash Browne from AFL.com tend to do the draft talk on Evenings w/ Finey every year.

I'm feeling that Salem might just be ahead of Freeman now for us, but if Scharenberg slips down, I'd be stunned if we didn't go with him. Still feel the Pies will take him at 6, leaving us to select Salem or Freeman. Salem probably edges Freeman on all round footballing ability. Does everything well (kicks better than most others in this draft), and can step up in big moments during games, loves to tackle. Freeman's pace is tearaway and a real point of difference. I'm comfortable that we'll get a very good player at 9, whichever way we go.

Find it interesting that, after a fair amount of agreement among phantom drafts about the top 10 or 12 (with us getting Freeman), in the past week things have really diversified.

Another update by Paige, and I have a feeling she's very close to the mark on the top 12 or so.

http://www.scpaige.com.au/phantom-draft-november-edition/

Changes have Scharenberg at 6, Freeman to Brisbane and Salem as our choice at 9.

I don't rate this "Supercoach Paige" at all.

She just pinches notes from Jay Clark and Landsberger at the HeraldSun, both of them fair hacks as it is.

The superlatives these wannabes use are ridiculous.

Every player has exceptional this and mountains of that.

It's ridiculous. Not a bad word said about any of them.

I like Quigley's phantom drafts because he doesn't mind having unpopular or strange views on players, but I think he's way off here.

Crouch, Sheed and Dunstan (to MFC) in the top 10??

I'd be surprised if 1 of them was.

He has interesting and detailed views, but if my memory serves me correctly, he rated Josh Greene as being top 4 in his draft.

Everyone has some misses, Quigley is brave but probably has more than most.

Some write ups get close to the AFL guys stuff as well.

Yep, he's definitely his own man and not particularly concerned about being accurate in terms of predicting the final outcome. I have no doubt that his phantom draft will be further off the mark than many others. It's the content that makes him interesting even if you disagree with him.

9/ Nathan Freeman... the running bull

40/ Jay Kennedy-Harris... small fwd

57/ Jake Kolidhashnji... tall defender

His point isn't to predict the order, it's pick the best players. Clubs get it wrong all the time - Fiora, Fyfe. Only time will tell.

Quigley is Emma Quigley a woman not a man

No the Quigley referred to is a Big Footy poster who does a yearly mock draft.

Definitely not Emma Quigley whose mock draft will be much closer to the actual order than the Big Footy one will be.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
