take him at pick 21 if durmont and dunstan arent there?

Nah, too early.. Third round and should be there.

Dumont, Dunstan, Crouch or Taylor - one will be there at 20/21 and are all quality players.

I think Dunstan might be there and I'd take him before Jones, not sure the others will be there.

Although, Brodie Grundy slipped last year - as did Kennedy and I expected both to go top ten, especially Grundy.

Grundy is something else.. Never seen someone so young who can dominate as a ruck like he did against Hawthorn. I was salivating over him watching those taps and follow ups.

Nathan Jones' 17 year old brother is tearing it up at the Dandenong Stingrays'

He's just been on the TAC future stars show.

Assuming he's of the same attitude and application as his bro, grab him now recruitment team. I want more Jonesies. Brothers of most of our other players need not apply.

I will admit I haven't seen him play- anyone have footage? But I'm growing warmer to this brothers playing in the same team thing. Is it something that Roosey will go for?

Imagine we had brothers again playing in the same team. I think it would only have a positive affect on the team having that kind of bond and the rest of the players can feed off that.

I think you would change your mind if you saw all the Grimes Kids. They younger they are the better they are.

Kid needs to settle down with this good form or he won't be there at our 3rd round pick.

Too right! Nate, get into his ear and make him have a shocker, maybe even spit the dummy at his team mates, the coach and the umpires a couple of times. All with a wink, of course.

Zak Jones put in a starring performance in last week's comeback win over Calder Cannons, with 28 disposals, 10 tackles and 10 clearances.

The hardened half-back has moved into a midfield role and is also pushing up the draft order after a stellar season.

"He's become an elite player at this level," Yeats said.

"He's tough, runs straight, competes, and would eat a footy. He's a little bit mad, so we give him very simple instructions about his role and we let him go."

Slow down Zak!!!

If we lose Sylvia which to be honest i think we probably will unfortunately, we should get around pick 25 as compo, i'd use that on Jones, yes it's possibly pulling the trigger early but if you had to personify what our side needs, this guy does.

The more I hear, the more I like. I would be willing to spend an early second rounder on him, he sounds like just what we need, and I like the idea of the Jones boys playing together- pushing each other, and the sense of brotherhood and unity this list needs.

Get it done MFC or I'll be dissapointed.

Not a chance. First of all he won't be rated that highly and secondly we will no doubt be taking at least one FA ourselves, so the compo will be diluted. Most likely if we take Cross and Sylvia walks it will be seen as an even swap.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
