Who's up for some philosophical discussions about the NIETSCHKE drafting?

The philosopher had no 'K'. Possibly compensated for by drafting KK. The euthanasia advocate on  the other hand ……… Yes, I am just filling in time in the long wait for our next pick.

    So our next pick will be Bedford or have we gone cold on him?

    Pick 78 and 85

    do we have enough outside runners added?

    Bedford. McKenzie. Ayton-Delaney.  All left. 

    And of course Frank Anderson.

    Aren't we bring Maynard onto the main list? Or is that just from category B onto the rookie list

    One spot left on the primary list and one spot left on the rookie list I believe.

    I had already factored him in for a spot on the main list before the draft at which time we still had 6 spots available. We ended up taking 5 players in the draft so I believe that still leaves one spot on the main list. I could be wrong.

    Just double checked and yes, after the draft we have 39 players on our senior list including Maynard so we can select one more player.

    Also have 3 players on the rookie list - Keilty, T Smith and C Wagner. So one spot there too.

    We don't have to fill the main list. Can go 39 and 5.

    I assume we'll pass in the PSD and take 2 rookies. Have 39 main list. 5 A rookies. 2 B rookies.

    Okay.

    Pardon my ignorance but what would be the club's reasoning for having one less player on the senior list and one extra on the rookie list?

    Salary cap relief.

    Most likely either just balancing the list profile and/or salary cap space and contracts. 

    If you look at our existing rookies Tim Smith, Keilty and Corey Wagner could all easily be on the senior list. They are experienced VFL players who might well be handy enough depth on an AFL list. So it's not like we are short on experienced players in the 44. 

    We've just added 4 kids and 1 mature age player in Hore, we've got 2 more picks. It's probably better to have both of those picks as rookie picks on 1 year deals so we can take chances on guys who might not work out.

    I think rookie base wages aren't counted in the salary cap either so it probably saves 80k you can use elsewhere.

    Haha, indeed. It's general excellence these days. The APS doesn't allow sports scholarships.

    Didn't Trenners captain PAC? 

    Yeah I think he did. Probably on one of those “general excellence” scholarships or his parents knew someone who knew someone. The Old Adelaide network. PAC has produced a lot of AFL footballers, boys from country SA.

    Judd, Shiel, Ziebell, Goddard, T Phillips. Good pedigree. But yeah. I'm biased.

    Not a bad list. Although all the APS schools have a fair crop of players. Carey, Xavier, Scotch, Haileybury, Wesley, Brighton. In the old days very few came from private schools but that has certainly changed over the past 10-15 years.

    What the hell, part 2 of the draft was today and not tonight?

    This is so bloody confusing.   Guess I better go see who we picked...

    Gee whiz. That trade with the Suns lost Hill for the Eagles after the Giants slid in and did the trade with the Crows..

    Cop that.

    Didn't want him. Had a lock on Cameron who is similar. Adding both would have been a waste.

    Like to see 3 Stingrays given a Casey Demons opportunity over the summer to get a spot.  Watched the TAC Cup Grand Final and believe these guys have further opportunities ahead. 

    Riley Bowman - 198 cms ruck/forward. Potential to be AFL ruckman with good skills and agility  

    Campbell Hustwaite - strong mid/half back.  Hibberd like attack.  Competitor.  

    Lachlan McDonnell - 190cms half fwd/half back.  Lovely kick and can nail a goal from the 50.

    Carlton are still rubbish. No defenders and no midfield depth. Cripps or Kreuzer get injured and Adelaide is getting Pick 1 next year.

    Carlton are 2 years behind us and have built very well, 2020 onwards they come into top 8 contention. Spine is all there 40 games more into their young nucleus and they'll pick up another ruckman and a few other pieces when Murphy Kruzear and Simpson retire to fill the holes. They have a good young list

    B.   Jones       Weitering     Plowman

    HB. Docherty  Marchbank    ?????

    C.  Cunningham Cripps       Fisher

    HF. Mcgovern    C.Curnow  Dow

    F.   Pet-Seton     Mckay    ?????

    R. ???, E.Curnow Walsh

    IC from Stocker, Mcreadie, Kerr, Settefield, Pickett

    Cripps aside, who is going to and get the ball? Cripps, Docherty and possibly Curnow aside who are the definite A grade talent based on exposed potential? A lot of what if there.

    Same was said about us 2016/17

    I’m sure the LNP are asking the very same question tonight.

    Guy saying we have more chance of winning a premiership than getting funding from him has clearly ticked off most of Victoria. Ang good riddance.

    Time to get back to work Dan, and build our training base!

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
