AFL National Draft 2014 Pick 40

Featured Replies

Β 

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.

Especially getting Petracca at pick 2, hey Redleg?

If only you had of listened to me 6 weeks ago.

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

Agree.

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.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
