I hope one day the AFL realise the draft is only followed by footy tragics. There's never going to be a big audience. Maybe then they'll give up on these lame attempts to trick it up. The coverage was excruciating and compounded by the laughable technology that resulted in a whopping time lag between submitting pick selection and said pick appearing on the screen.

    I think we've got 39 senior list + 3 cat a rookies + 2 cat b rookies

    we're 2 short but we might leave 1 or both slots free for the pre-season pick-up and mid season draft

    Well, we've turned Hogan into May, Kolodjashnij, and Sparrow.

    Time will tell.

    Here are the highlights packages of all of our players in one.

     

     

    It's unbelievable. Based on those highlights there is no doubt all of our new players are guns.

    Taylor is a genius.

    Who needs first round draft picks!

    It seems we have a lot of similar types, mainly big bodied mids. Would have thought an extra tall like Bailey Williams would have had added a bit of variety.

    While I am not stupid enough to challenge JT, just on the look of him, I agree, I also would have liked to get Williams.

    you would have thought a tall would have been drafted.  We are very short on rucks and tall fwds.  perhaps we will rookie one?   I do agree however with not drafting talls with early picks as they are risky.

    also, they have a day break in the middle of the draft but dont give clubs time to re-group for the rookie draft?  strange.  I would have thought some time for discussion would be handy before the rookie draft

    Yeah we’ve only got two tall forwards on the whole list now. They must not have rated the options available as it’s a clear need, so we’ll have to back Taylor and co with their good record so far!

    Smith is 192cm. Not tall enough for AFL tall forward and has produced nothing of worth as a forward there. He’s played well up the ground on ball using his frame there, but at 28 years old and not getting taller he’s a medium tall or another position/delist material.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
