I still think of JT as a Collingwood product, but he's now spent at least twice as long with us than he did with them. But I recall him coming to MFC as highly-credentialed. What was it he did before us to earn that reputation? Or do I have my facts wrong? 

Dwayne Beams and Sidebottom were amongst some of his selections in the 2010 premiership side.

    Thank you for the link to the podcast. It was most enlightening.

    Jason Taylor also mentioned he is contracted to the Demons for at least another 4 years. So that's a positive! 🙂

    I get the impression from Jason Taylor that he wants to stay at the Club for the long haul and build a Demons Dynasty. He is certainly not satisfied with just one Premiership for the Melbourne Football Club.

    Thanks Superdemon and Redsoxman,

     I really enjoyed it. Our recruiting with JT is in great hands.

    I love that JT states his emphasis is on Character/competiveness/resilience. He takes into account positional needs (say coaching staff) but Best available overrides. 

    He comments on choosing the wrong people against a good character. He quotes Chris Judd (I think) "less impressed with talent"

    I would love to take a chance on Syd Stack but I suspect it won't happen.

    Our List management committee is in good hands

    Jason and the team are sensational. More credit needs to applied to Tim Lamb- what a stright shooter- never waivers from getting the job done.

    Anyone catch JT on afl.com interview today and able to share what he said?

    All I can see if a small clip talking about key position needs could be targeted at either pick.

    Didn't miss much to he honest. Only other thing of note was he pretty much said we won't be able to trade into the top 5-6.

    I've never fully understood who actually does the player and pick trading. I think most of us gave Mahoney the credit for it in his time at MFC but is that right was it Tim Lamb doing the negotiating even then. In fact is it Tim Lamb doing it now. I assume JT and team go out and find the talent and then it's over to TL and team to negotiate. Anyone know how it works.

    Your idea actually has merit when considering all the data available.

    We could have done a lor better during that horror draft period by simply drawing names out of a hat.  Such are the vagaries of drafting

    You should read up on the history of drafting in baseball ... a complete [censored]-shoot although Houston lucked out by drafting 3 guns in 3 consecutive years after tanking 3 years in a row.

    The luck factor in drafting cannot be overplayed enough.  It is an inexact science and most probably always will be.

    But belief systems are belief systems so my words are only directed at 15% of the draft believers.  Most others have bought in and are therefore all-in

    Just like your good self RR. 

    Good to have you back but on this occasion we'll have to agree at disagree.

    fair points but Taylor only had a few chances at the really high picks early on and nailed Petracca, Brayshaw, Oliver and missed with the Weid. Then nailed Jackson with a pick 3 and pickett pick 12. if he misses a couple maybe even 1 of those we dont have a premiership.

    Lamb was a talent spotter under JT, I’m sure it’s a collaborative effort to value future picks and trade players, but then JT is ultimately in charge of the draft board. I hope they’re collaborating with analytics, coaches, factoring in the salary cap and so on.

    From what I’ve seen of nfl draft rooms (which is where the afl usually borrows from) teams usually have multiple people set up with phones allocated to various teams. And they’ll try to use previous relationships if possible. But it highlights why teams often have to have deals lined up before the draft, there’s a lot of chaos on the night.

    You can catch it all on the afl exchange podcast feed.

    Talked about needs v best available. Seemed to be weighing needs quite a bit, but more so at later picks.

    Confident they’ll be a good player at 37.

    Has a possible great result at pick 13 and another good result based on their scenarios. Seemed to be that was if using the pick rather than trading.

    Didn’t deny key forward was a need. But I get the feeling tall back, ruck and possibly inside 50 kicker might be seen as needs just as much.

    The JT second drafts like Riv JJ Tommy Sparrow Plus Bowey as a late 1st rounder and JVR are all good as well

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
