Jason Taylor this arvo: “We’ve just got a few little things we need to tick off in the next six days, but we fly out on Sunday to Adelaide, but we’re pretty close [with deciding on who we’re taking at pick No.3],” Any clue here? (though it could relate to later picks)

I can guarantee that whoever we pick, the media will go hard to mock us for not picking another player just like they did with the Salem and Tyson deal.

given how close this year's field is after the top couple, we are almost guaranteed that somebody around pick 13 will go to a strong club and start off guns blazing. In contrast our picks will probably not make too many waves early. The media and half this forum will give it the old Ollie Whines treatment for sure. I am sickened already.

Just looking at Jesse's highlights, it's nice to compare the new potential guys at 3 and 7 to both of them.

Anderson seems to think we won't take Parish 100%. I disagree. What does everyone else think?

I think if Brett's putting his reputation on the line he probably knows something. I also think Parish isn't all that special, so hardly a surprise we'd look elsewhere.

Coming in to the 2013 draft everyone thought Kelly and Aish were the sure thing pick 2 and 3. They remind me of Parish. Personally I'm just as happy with Salem as those 2 and I prefer Bont any day of the week.

I came into this conversation not really knowing who's who. I have my thoughts as to the type to take at 3 and 7. In reality i don't think it matters what we think the club knows.

In the oast we've sought silver bullets...the magic elixir to fix all evils.

We'll take two players here and two players there and they'll add to the bottom line.

I don't think it matters as much as we suggest. The FD will get its job done. Im comfy saying that these days as these players need not appear in 16...theyll take time and be given games when warranted.

So different...thank god

I don't. Still plenty to play out. Weideman testing poorly today probably puts him out of the picture, but to suggest we are totally set on Parish right now is wrong. Lots of water to go under the bridge from here.

By this is he maybe referring to the medical for Weideman possibly? And dependent on the outcome of the medical that will determine Pick 3?

If Oliver, Weideman, Parish and Curnow are gone (one of them to us) then who do we take at 7?

Is it one of the South Australian's in Francis or Milera? Is it big H McKay?

Are the next best options Darcy Tucker and Ryan Clarke? They might be my choices of the rest. More skill from half back or elite gun running through the midfield would fill needs.

We seem very focussed on the 4 players - 2 forwards, 2 mids. Is anyone willing to make a case for someone else?

    TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2024

    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. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5
