Don't tell Ben Hur that. He has a massive chip on his shoulder re BGS (one of them stole his girl and beat him up apparently).

He would much prefer they went to an eastern suburbs private school and might cry again.

What makes it worse for the poor boy is that Salem is also a BGS lad.

    Now that is a good reason to recruit Salem! (Salem, Dawes and Watts)

    I'm interested in Tom Cutler. Very athletic, great user and a really good size. Could well be the sort of player that we'd be interested in with his size and attributes. Also, given how confident we are that our man will be there at pick 9, it wouldn't surprise me if that player was someone that isn't being spoken of a lot in media circles (eg, Cutler, Acres).

    It was a measured response, jazza.

    I think some on here have taken Taylor's words in the wrong context. I don't think he is saying he is confident of getting one particular targetted player at each selection, but rather that he has a group of players in the mix for each selection and that he will get one of that group, at each pick.

    Therefore I don't think you can draw the conclusion that we are picking someone from left field for each selection or who is thought not to be in the mix for that particular selection.

    If anyone follows the NBA here, there had been a consensus number 1 pick all year called Nerlens Noel. Not quite as certain as Tom Boyd but every expert said he'd go pick 1 bar one.
    The draft came Cleveland picked a complete random 1, and so it went he fell to number 6.

    Cal Twomey and others are glorified guestimaters as much as we are. Football clubs are as quiet in regards to the draft than at any point throughout the year.

    I wasted my time to read his live blog on the AFL website and he answered every question with 'I guess', 'it could', or 'most likely'.
    For all we know Luke Dunstan could be rated the 4th best midfielder on every clubs draft board and Nathan Freeman could be the 15th. I don't think it is the case but none of us know. One of the most important parts of the draft is the interview process, which no supporter and no journalist has any indication of.

    Hopefully some of us guessed right, but I'm completely expecting the top 15 to be way different to expected and the draft after that to be an absolute crapshoot.

    I get your point, but the Noel reference is a bit off.. He slipped a long way because he tore his ACL. Debut is still not in sight, likely to miss entire season

    Blake Griffin missed the entire first year of his rookie year from a pre-existing injury and still went number 1. All I'm saying is that sometimes we don't know everything thats available, so you never know who will slide or rise.

    I recollect the AFL/MFC had a competition to nominate pick 9 and those who were correct went into a lottery to win a signed jumper form the eventual #9 who we now know to be Salem. Does anyone know if the results of the lottery were published somewhere?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
