The reason I suggested next years draft was that it would be subject to the WADA findings and next year hopefully it will be a later pick than 25.

Its hard enough for clubs to pick talent at 17yo that will become AFL regulars. Its harder by some magnitude to do that at 16yo. Much greater drafting risk IMO

jnrmac, they don't have to rate 16yo's what you trade is a pick in the next years draft. All picks in any draft are a lottery and you don't know who is available until it is your turn to pick anyway.

Can't be bothered going through the 57 pages (sorry), but is Melksham out of contract?

If so, and Essendon what to be royal pricks about doing a trade (even if they aren't acting in such a manner), should we just totally shaft them and tell Jakey to go to the PSD? From memory he would nominate his asking price, so that would rule out any club before us, meaning we would get him for no cost other than his contract.

And for the CAS/ASADA/WADA junkies out there, is the PSD held before or after the CAS hearing?

Yep out of contract.

Thanks Azz.

Not sure about anyone else, but it would give me great pleasure if we did what I suggested above. Although we do owe them a favour for giving Neeld a job...

As one of those 'junkies' :unsure: the CAS hearing starts Nov 16 but most unlikely the verdict will be known before the psd (Dec 3).

So it is still 'buyer beware''

It works just like the AFL Draft, picks starting from the bottom placed clubs to the top.

The benefit of finishing low is that if an out of contract player wants to move then you can avoid having to trade for them if your confident that no other team will pick them up first.

Basically Carlton can get anyone that is out of contract and offer nothing to a players current club if a player wants to go to Carlton.

So you take a gamble that noone will pick them up, surely if noone picks them up it rings alarm bells if no deal has been do with the clubs ahead of you in the draft.

The Age reporting the deal is done for pick 25!

Can't believe we rolled over.

At some point we need to take a stand during Trade week and show some mettle and play hardball otherwise we will always be seen as suckers and wimps.

Jesus Christ I hope so! Pick 25 for Melksham is way overs. Hopefully we can pick up a third rounder to use on Bugg.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
