Now trading is over it's time for the draft.

Who will get with picks 29, 31, 36 and 47?

Taylor said we will be looking for midfield depth and small forwards.

Who will we target?

Thoughts?

    Just had a look at Gryan Miers. Looks like a perfect fit, is he likely to be available?

    I have a feeling he'll be the one generating the buzz, Clayton Oliver style, leading into the draft. If he's there at our first pick he's a must. Will he still be there? Touch and go I think.

    Aiden Bonar might be the one this year.

    We need outside midfielders with pace and small forwards to lock the ball into our forward line and crumb.

    Gryan Miers would be perfect as a small forward, but might go before our pick now after his 7 goal BOG grand final performance. If he's there at our picks, he's a perfect choice and could play AFL seniors quickly if he gets through preseason. He's got skills, hits the scoreboard regularly and is a smart ball user who brings his teammates into the game with quick hands too.

    Matthew Ling would be a decent option as an outside midfielder. He's got good pace, puts in defensively and has decent skills. His weakness is finding ball and consistency. In an AFL club environment he could be taught where to run to get more ball and thus build consistency. If he's available at any of our picks I'd take him. 

    Petrucelle is another quick midfielder and definitely has potential, but his kicking is all over the place and I'm not sure if it can be fixed.

    Ed Richards has scope to become a good quick midfielder. He's played more down back as a rebounding defender, but he has good pace and kicking skills and could develop into a midfielder. Would be a good target.

    Jordan Houlahan from Sturt would be a great pick up, great small forward option with skills galore.

    Does anyone think we will take a delisted free agent? There are a number of players yet to have their contracts renewed who may be available to draft. Is Zac Clarke any chance as a backup ruckman?

    Not sure Ed Richards will get to our first pick, as it seems he is more highly rated by recruiters than most of the phantom draft "experts". Can tell you that he has met at least 9 clubs already (pre draft camp) and Melbourne on more than one occasion.

    We'd be stiff not to get Bonar.

    He's rising quickly.

    Yeah, suspect he goes in the 15-22 range.

    Any chance of Lochie O'Brien slipping to 29?

    Some chance, but think he might go just before our pick.

    A no from me at this stage especially with his lack of pressure.

    Great highlight reel but seen the AFL listed and former AFL defenders work him over to easily on several occasions.

    Would consider a very late pick or rookie if anything

    I felt the Weagles overrated their list this year.  They gave impression that they were in the window and recruited accordingly, and were exposed in their capitulation to GWS (and to a certain degree over the course of the season).

    Sounds like they are very much in danger of making the same mistake again.  Staggered that they traded away their 2018 first rounder for a swag of 2nd round picks this year.  For a chance to pick up WA talent around the mark no less. @Pennant St Dee, any thoughts on who they might be looking at in that range?

    Oscar Allen should go a bit higher than that, same with Naughton.  Maybe Jake Patmore & Liam Ryan?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
