Of course he would say that.

Should there be no draft this year he'd be singing a different tune 


It won't make much difference if no junior football is played this year. 

Try picking today's talent on the back of what a 16 or 17 year old was doing last year.  You will have as much chance of selecting quality at pick 1 or pick 20.

I was actually interested in this and checked a few phantom drafts that were done prior to previous seasons. I was a bit surprised - generally, the projected top 3-5 picks haven't actually changed all that much over the course of the year. This time last year - Green, Rowell and Anderson were in the frame for pick 1. In 2018, ditto for Lukosius, Walsh and Rankine. However, there have generally been a few names touted as top 5-10 picks that missed out on being drafted altogether.  

If there's a draft this year, it might actually go the other way - the top few picks might be incredibly valuable, whereas there might be little difference between pick 5 and 50.

The closest thing to a lottery,  this coming draft, IMO.

Yeah,  but its only P8 down to around P35,  that we'll care about.


Regardless of what happens with the draft this year, this was a good trade at the time and I'm stoked that we've got Pickett.

Good luck to Nth, but I have a feeling their supporters may look back at this as a 'We could have got Kozzi moment'.

 

Most clubs know who they want a few years in advance and just trim down he list and raft day depending on their position and other picks.

Not that much of a lottery for the perceived  top 20.

Update. 

Kangaroos Pick 6

Demons Pick 17

Sorry DL, I’m not understanding?

We don’t get North’s first round pick next year, they only get ours...

so as it stands they have both picks 6 and 17.


To clarify Kangas have our pick 6 as per current ladder

We don't get a pick back, we used it last year on Kozzie

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
