Plus I don't think it's a lock that we take Parish. I think there is a little bit of water to go under the bridge yet, and we may see someone like Oliver, who is much more likely to be available at #7, as someone who can contribute in the same way Parish can. That means we may take someone like Curnow at #3 instead with the view to possibly pairing him with Hogan in a few years time.

    Fair enough.

    Just comes across like you're putting down all these people's opinions, people who know far more than us, without providing any reasoning for it.

    Show me where I've put anyone's opinion down.

    I don't rate him much at all.

    I won't lose a nanoseconds sleep over Emma's ratings.

    As I said, just comes across like you rate your opinion far higher than people who you've admitted know more than you.

    Take it on board, don't take it on board... Up to you.

    Comes across that PD rates other peoples opinions higher than Emma Quayle or Knightmares to me.

    I rate Quigley, Chris, Snoop Dog, and others ahead of the prolific Knightmare. But I hasten to add that it doesn't mean I wish Knightmare any harm in this life or the next. It just means I have an opinion of his opinion.

    And not losing "a nanoseconds sleep" over Emma's ratings doesn't mean I don't read her, respect her, or consider her opinions invalid, it means I have more faith in our full-time recruiting staff to get things right.

    Fair enough then. It's funny, this year has been the first in ages here I haven't followed potential draftees and mock drafts etc really closely due to my renewed faith in the recruiting staff.

    Who would your top 10 be PD?

    I'm not qualified to have an informed opinion.

    You're a dill, Stu.

    I've already explained that I wasn't knocking Emma. The only poster on BF who I believe is overrated is Knightmare and it's easy to form such a conclusion when I've had access to his posts for years. Just as I've had access to the others who I rate.

    Why do you need to be spoon fed the bleeding obvious, Stu ?

    What, you're editing people's posts when you quote them now? That's a whole new level.

    Ah well, two can play at that I guess...

    No skullduggery, Stu.

    I accidently started posting in the post I was quoting (your post) and then deleted too far (back over your comments) and had to try to remember what your quote was. I didn't bother scrolling up.

    Not that it mattered or changed the context much.

    Ignore for you, Stu. Both of our lives will be happier. Well, maybe not yours.

    Actually, Emma used to be pretty good before she got into the media, and that is no knock on her for moving up in the world - just means she has changed her methodology. She appears to have moved away from assessing players based on her own point of view, towards assessing players based more on the view of recruiters, which is ok, it gives us fans an inkling into who certain clubs might take. Obviously Knightmare has a more hands on approach to his work, he gets out there a lot. I don't think he would claim to be any better than anyone else, but from a fans perspective - he is relevant, and probably the best armchair scout going around.

    He's prolific, but in my view not the best.

    Quigley is brilliant and there are others like Scoopdog, who I rate.

    You've got a thick skin Armstrong, I'll give you that

    On Demonland you either grow another layer of skin or another face... I know which one of those a lot here have done.

    But we can't get Quigley's stuff anymore can we?

    He hasn't participated the last year or two. Not sure why.

    Snoop Dog Phantom published yesterday:

    Snoop Dog 2015 Phantom National and Rookie Draft

    Lot's of detail, interesting picks for us.

    I find it interesting that Curnow didn't test well with ball use according to Snoop Dog. Needs work IMO on his left by hand/foot; particularly hand.

    Gives great insight. Good read.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
