Damn, I missed this thread the first time around. What a stroke of genius to invent a Twitter account dedicated to one single pick swap. ?

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
