    Massive news! this changes things considerably.. we keep pick 2 and get one of the guns or our Pick 2 is more valuable than any other pick.

    Teeming hordes in red and blue pouring into Gosch's as I type. Cops concerned about riots, civil disobedience. Stock markets plummeted. Premier kept notified of developments.

    I may have read this wrong. Are they getting pick 1 and 2 or not. They said they weren't on trade radio.

    Yep, their priority pick is pick 2.

     They are getting a great ride here by the AFL

    Nope. Apparently they get pick 1 in this years draft, which bumps the pick they already have to 2. We are now at pick 3

    Incredible hand out considering some of the blame for their position should be on the Suns. Eg trading Lyons.

    Unbelievable really. They had a good hit at the super draft and now this. Top 2 seem clearly the best. Victorian players. Can you believe it?

    It’s odd they have split Rowell and Anderson - maybe we have made an agreement to give them pick 2 for King?

    Shocking, he initially didn't read out that pick 1 was a priority pick, this is crap.

    Move on now.

    Yeah very misleading that first tweet. They get picks 1 & 20 as compo picks, then their real pick is pick #2.

    Seemed way too good to be true

    Let's not sugar coat it.

    First and last picks in round 1 this year then a middle round 1 pick next year and another end of first round the following year

    They can call it round 2 all they want but it's essentially 4 first round picks

    It's three years of draft assistance includes:

    • Picks No.1 and No.2 at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently pick No.20) at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • Mid first-round pick (currently pick No.11) at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently Pick.19) at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft

    That is two priority picks this year.  One at the start and one at the end of round 1.  The public dialogue was about either the start or the end.  Staggering that they get both!

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
