AFL National Draft 2014 Pick 40

Late mail... Demons to look at Matthew Hammelman for pick 40. Elite tall from Queensland. 198cm, good athlete, good mark and kick. Would compliment Hogan and develop into ruck/fwd combo with Gawn.

I wonder if we will look at him via rookie list.

    Don't know how to start a thread (clearly too old to be savvy). Please list the leftovers so we can whip ourselves into a frenzy speculating as to our two rooky draft choices.

    Sorry, done already. Let the fun continue!

    You could see the confusion on the Dees table when pick 40 was called, with Oscar there to grab, but a player they rated far higher in Neal-Bullen , also there. Roos made a face, as if he was saying, oh well we will lose Oscar but get a much higher rated player.

    When 53 came, they couldn't read out Oscar's name quick enough. I think they were shocked to get the last two. Taylor said the week before that he thought Oscar would be long gone by our pick 40.

    We had a good draft.

    Correction: We had an excellent draft and a good trading period. Bring on 2015!

    Yes I was wrong, you were right. I misread the signs.

    I also had Saints fans raving to me for months how they had Petracca and that he was the best player in the draft, a fact agreed to by their Coach..

    Understandable - you're usually a pretty good read from what I can gather and one of the better and more dependable posters on here.

    Hopefully the Dees can get a premiership for you now mate, and all the signs are looking good.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
