Please view the historical record for my predictions.

Actually, i have not got any wrong, yet. maybe trengove is he dosnt come good again. But I have been picking the right players since we started getting footage on the internet.

I go for the Geelong type of players, gladitorial winners. Like Hogan or the freaky aboriginals. I think you need a couple of freaks.

Clem Michael over Simon Black

Ashley Sampi over Jimmy Bartel

Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls over Bernie Vince

Liam Jurrah over Tom Rockliff

Aussie Wonamerri over Mumford

Those Freaky indigenous boys all worked out really well, didn't they. Out of that group the only one you would class as a gladiator is Mumford. You are no genius and through the history of the draft there have been a lot more misses with draft picks than hits.

    He's played 16 games FFS...

    I'm not surprised though with people's expectations in today's "I want it right now" world.

    Relax. At least let the kid have a few more games, people mature at different times, physically and mentally, the latter is evident on demonland...

    Alot of early bloomers in that draft

    If I were re-doing the draft right now I'd say

    1. Wines

    2.Whitfield

    3. Mcrae

    4.Vlastian

    5. Mayes

    6. Toumpas

    7.Menzel

    8.Plowman

    9.Stringer

    10.O'rourke

    Toumpas is averaging 17 touches and a goal this season, so statistically he's going okay for a developing player but he needs to add that contested ball element to his game, he is either very damaging on the outside or he can win his own footy.

    If we are redoing the draft now you have to take a few things into account namely those players we have seen a fair bit of and those we haven't. Would we still give up pick 3 to get Hogan - yes I would but those who want immediate impact wouldn't.

    Do you want a ruckman because our ruck stocks don't run so deep, if I was picking players on what I have seen at AFL level

    1) Whitfield - still the one for me, class and vision and will be elite

    2) Mcrae - as above

    3) Wines - what he doesn't have in class he makes up for with agression and size, barring injury looks every bit a 200 game quality mid

    4) Viney - Lets face it had the opposition seen how good he really could be against men at this level we would not have got him at Pick 28

    5) Grundy - still can't believe the Dockers who at the time needed a long term replacement for Sandilands took Josh Simpson over him, the Dogs who had Pick 5 could certainly do with him and Minson working in tandem now

    6) Mayes - looks really classy and has the ability to play through the middle or off HBF really like this kid and he has not looked out of place since day 1

    7) Vlastuin - as above although doesn't show the same class as Mayes but Toiges have a good one here

    8) Menzel - there is the injury cloud but has looked good this season in a side severely lacking leaders

    9) Toumpas - still shown enough to suggest he will be worth a Top 10 Pick, makes some good runs and knows how to find space, disposal is good so has the tools

    10) Danniher - has shown enough and lets face it Bombers were never not going to take him at Pick 10 - it's about the player he will become not what he will do in years 1 & 2

    Stringer has shown glimpses but overall been a disapointment to me

    Plowman & O'Rourke I have not seen enough of but I actually in the little I have seen in O'Rourke I see apossibility as a big mid in teh Barlow/Mundy mould

    Kent - slipped under the radar and would not drop out of the top 15-20 if this draft was done today

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
