So EQ is on to it again.

42 has disappeared off the list but Brisbane still have it and will likely use it.

As for the picks:

GWS will pick 2 or 3 kids (Hopper, Kennedy +/- Himmelberg) using 10, 34 and 42 - we move up 0 or 1 pick

Brisbane will pick 2 kids using 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 - we move up 2-3 picks

Sydney will pick 1 or 2 kids (Mills +/- Dunkley) using 33, 36, 37 and 43 - we move up 2-3 picks

I'd be surprised if our picks don't end up 40/41 and 45/46.

I reckon Matt Jones is okay. Not sure why posters keep wanting the club to pay out his contract. For a start, this should be an absolute last resort act, which should not be lightly entertained. It

You shouldn't confuse the selections with their outcomes. At best there are in my view, about three possibilities for serious consideration at #3 and not that many more when you get to #7. A recruiter

That is the dumbest [censored] thing...

The AFL cannot help themselves, for every 3 good decisions - they will just throw a stinker out there.

Essentially, I was right about the list spots equating to the revised order, but I was wrong about those teams losing those picks - they are now 'hidden' picks to appear at a moments notice...

FMD.

They have already lost people because it is confusing so they make it more confusing...

Yep. Agree 110%.

I was sure the picks couldn't be taken away from them because I heard Brett Clothier say they had permission to take them to the draft on the AFL Podcast.

But then 42 disappeared. Now it's still there but hidden. Mind numbing.

I understand they don't want to sit through 16 teams passing on the night but I don't think this is an appropriate solution.

They should have just made it dynamic and as soon as a team passes the order is revised with that team out.

And clubs like us with no FS or Academy players can just be removed and not have ours hidden...

It's just another illustration of the way they do things but don't think them through entirely.

There is no Quality Assurance with Clothier and Keane, they think they are the smartest guys in the room and I bet they have to pick their rooms carefully...

Last year I was impressed by the write-up of ANB and was hoping he would slip to one of our later picks after being touted as an early 2nd round pick. I was absolutely stoked he was still there at 40 and pumped that we called his name out. This year, through even less research and watching less footage (read highlights) I'm going to put up a couple names that I hope will slip through to our later picks. I have no idea if these kids can play football, but if we recruit one of these guys I'll be claiming them as my boy and expect to be praised for my uncanny ability to hedge my bets, guess and hope.

If we could Snag Kieran Lovell at one of these picks that'd be a huge win, nearly as good as ANB at 40 odd.

If we got any of Bonner, Balic and Maitherson at our next pick that'd be an amazing result

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
