Shattered but that's the way it goes. They should of given the priority next year.

So who is it Ash, Serong, Young or someone else? Thoughts?

 

Personally i think Lachie Ash, but the smokey i'd consider is Flanders who i think is going to be very good player. 

young also ticks a lot of boxes. it's really him or Ash for me.

Bid for Tom Green.

If that’s matched (all but certain) I like the look of Young.

 

 

We won't take a Pick 3. We'll trade for a couple of lower first round picks (or some kind of combo with later picks).

Apart from anything else, we need to find a mid second-rounder for Langdon.

Sam Frost pick?


This pick is going to GWS for Toby  Greene, he wants to reunite with his father, after his father's arrest, he wants to understand why he is a cheap shot hero

Second rounder for Frost would be unlikely/daylight robbery.

 

Tom Greene if it can be done.

Brodie Kemp


Caleb Serong by a country mile if we hold on to pick three, (which I hope we do). 

He's an extremely well rounded player who is exactly what we need in our forward half.

Not our pick 21 (and maybe a future pick back if they figure he is not worth pick 21)?

Is he an elite kick?

He's the [censored]. 

Just think of all the smart users. He's not a laser foot, just knows where to put it. 

Hayden Young, watched a bit of the U18 championships IMO he is the best kick in the draft, meets a need an attacking HBF with a enough pace, good size


We should trade pick 22 and our 2020 first rounder for Langdon and pick 6 which Fremantle get from St Kilda.

Then we take 2 of Young, Serong, Weightman, Flanders and Ash...

Those three names are pretty much who we'll be looking at for pick 3.

A Smokey for this pick will also be Sam Flanders.

Has to be Hayden Young, he's the best kick in the draft, is an elite intercept mark, provides a lot of overlap run and is also very good defensively, he's even shown a contested side to his game this second half of the season. For a HBF has no weaknesses that I can see, reminds me of a taller bachar houli. He's exactly what we need perfect, hibbo replacement and allows Salem to push up on a wing if we need.


Just re Ash, our back half has no speed. May, Lever, Jetta, Salem, Hore are all neat kicks but it's that run and carry which we really lack currently

In today's footy, with the use of zones and screens. knowing where to put and being able to do so (e.g. by weighting the ball  chipping over a wall etc) is more important than a laser like kick.

Just look at how hard tigers made it for gws to get the ball forwa4d of centre.

This is one reason why fritter, who is a beautiful kick, turned it over often when playing back. Struggled to get it to where it needed to go.

Agree and further to it Tigers use laser handballs rather than kicks, sharp, low at the body and creative.

 

i'd be happy with any of Ash, Young, and Serong for pick 3. they all look good players and are not purely inside mid sorts.

but I do think they'll try and split the pick, probably with GWS, and draft a speedy forward type like Cody Weightman or Miles Bergman, and a rebounding half back sort like Will Gould instead. 

Ash to me is exactly what we need, Half back with speed, composure, and a beautiful long kick, he loves to take the game on. 

if you've got him and Salem on the flanks our kicking out of the back half suddenly looks a hell of a lot better. and Hibbo either has a hard time holding his spot or potentially could make the move further up the ground to a wing.

  • 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.
