Garner? Wooller?  Midfield runner needed.

We got Baker at our last pick anyway.  Worked out perfectly.  Patience is a virtue.

Can't understand why I'm excited about it. I'll be sitting on the edge of my couch when our picks come around, heart rate climbing, maybe a bit of sweat on the brow, in nervous anticipation of pi

Wayne Carey, only shorter and I’m not sure what position he plays.

I can't wait to form an opinion on each of the draftees based on their 3 minute highlight clips and then stubbornly refuse to change it for the rest of their careers.

Every draft seems to have a few surprising names to miss but if every club passes them up then that has to tell you something....

Fantastic that Hamish Brayshaw has a gig with WCE so will be in WA with his brother, Andy at Freo.

Very happy for the Brayshaw family.

Far too nice, LH.  Ruins our chance of luring Andrew back in two years time! ;)

Yes needed Baker. There’s a spot there if he’s good enough. I have seen in the NEAFL and has the pace required.  A good pickup in the end.

If we get one player out of this lot we have done well.

It's a numbers game at these picks...we had 3-4 picks so to get 1 B to B+ level player would be a good result, 2 exceptional.

Lets hope.

They are trying to recreate our success of 2013.

I’m happy for Barry, but that is taking the [censored] by Port.

They aren't the only ones that have scavenged on the carcasses of our pretendergasting.

Now Port have 4 ex dees on their list!

Watts, Trengove, Toumpas, Barry

All first round draft picks that we on-traded for steak knives, or delisted.

Apart from Barry, they were top three no less.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
