Assuming we gain a priority pick and we have picks 2 and 3 do we put 1 pick on the table for a gun afl midfielder like Dale Thomas or do we put both pcks on the table since we are in desperate need of 2 gun AFL mids???

Fall on the floor laughing until I have to be carted off to hospital.

If we get a pick there's no moral way it can be at the top of the first round. I'll take it if they're offering but the other clubs should hold a protest rally if we get a pick anywhere before #19 or #20.

If we get a PP we will need to batten down the hatches and the recruiters will have the biggest amount of stress on them and massive targets on them if they get it wrong.

The word is Piority....that means we go before !!. But I can see where the question is before what.?

In a dream world itr would be before round 1...so we might well end up with 1/2 or 1/3

but we might be run out of town for that combo. therefore 19 seems a political compromise.

But then again, it is the AFL and they make it up as they go along...so wtf knows ...lol

again..just say thankyou for its a freebie..a bone for the dog.....woof !!

Good point. This is why I think assistance will be in the form of mini draft or some other help. I'm not sure pick 19 will help us get anyone who will impact (although it may allow us to trade pick 2 for such a player and still draft a good young prospect). Edited by deanox

the logicist in me thins that here we have the AFL in its usual place de norm....sh!t-central.

In order do deliver to its problem child whilst placating the rabble it must deliver a solution that provides whilst seemingly within precedents.

A mini draft fulfills all of this. It provides an opportunity for us and at the same time ought to really disadvantages no one...not toooo much,not if you allow for "things"

I hope the powers that be, that is OURS, realise this is the closet thing to a last dip for salvation that will ever come our way. [censored] this up, and we might as well all wander off.

yep... the caveat being if Neeld is still at the helm when we meet the giants..we lose that we're bottom

I don't think we'll get a PP but if we do I think it will be at the middle to end of the first round, I don't really care about time we stopped worrying about picks to get us out of our problems

I'm a big believer in trade them if the right offer is there. Patty D or 2 of the GC boys

If we actually in some way managed to pick up Patty Dangerfield in a trade I would wet my pants with excitement.

In regards to the priority pick, I agree with Supermercado - there is no way we'd deserve a pick in the first round and the other clubs would (fairly) spit chips.


Posted

We're not getting Danger, we should get Adams if the price is reasonable.

Of course not, is he even out of contract? Adams we should definitely have a crack at.

Posted

If we get a pick at the start of the first round trade it to the dogs for Ryan Griffin. They need a forward for the future and Griffin is better than Thomas. They could then get Thomas boyd who we probably won't need with hogan on the list next season.

Not even worth contemplating. We will not get any player in the next 2-3 years of this quality in a trade.

Pray we don't stuff it up again!

Trade Kennett to Collingwood for Eddie McGuire, he is out of contract.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
