    Fox is reporting that Sydney have traded pick 26 to WCE for a 2019 3rd round selection (around pick #60). 

    I assume it has been incorrectly reported as it is such a lopsided trade - there has to be more to it!

    Edit:  WCE now have picks 20, 22, 26.

    Academy selections are a joke

    that is plain ridiculous.... you wonder why the bidding club bothers if its only peanuts...

    Are they trying to free up the selections around the 40 mark? Otherwise it makes little sense to me.

    Bugger. With Swans trading back into the 2nd round, I can just imagine them pinching the player we want.

    So over an hour has gone by and only 12 picks have gone through? Jeez this is beyond a joke.

    The AFL have turned this into a farce. Another feather in Dill's cap!

    That trade of Syd 2019 2nd round pick (around 30+) for WCe pick 24 explains the earlier lop-sided trade that greatly favoured WCE. 

    We still have pick 23, one ahead of Sydney so may get our preferred player. 

     

    Very clever of Sydney to do this after Blakey was selected otherwise they would have had to use pick 24 for him!!  They are very active and creative with pick trading - they may catch a few clubs napping!!

    Edit: cross out ref to Syd pick

    Even the first pick took around 4 minutes...have the clubs been told to drag it out ? Surely you know your pick if you are number 1

    They never learn.   I thought Demetriou was bad, but then McLachlan came along.

    That Bailey Williams ruck tap in the Sam Sturt highlights. Do want.

    The Herald Sun says yes. Told to take the full 5 minutes, so the first round takes as long as possible for the TV coverage

    I just turned the draft broadcast on ...and off. FMD that is possibly the most boring and laborious shite I've seen on television.

    I' m going back to angle grinding the  tinea off my toes.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
