I personally am not worried about who we take in the draft. The FD would have done their homework and they will choose accordingly. Players may be taken for the now and to fill gaps or with mind on the future. 

With the evenness of this draft it would appear picks 1- 20 are pretty much equal depending on which club wants what. We currently have pick 3,10 and 28, which is an amazing position to be in with such an even draft. We brought in Langdon, Tomilson and may just get Bennell as he re creates his career. Mitch Brown is also an astute pick up if we decide to take him. On top of that Sparrow ,Chandler and Bedford look like their 2nd year in the system will be positive. May, Lever, Weed, Preuss , Viney etc all look to be in good nick and Goodwin and team have learnt some valuable lessons from last year. We also have a new medical team, one that has some pretty credentialed personal. Chuck in an easier draw due to last years disaster, and no Darwin game, I am pretty happy.

The Draft is just that. Pick a few players and hope for the best. There have been many top 10 picks that have had amazing careers and others that do not. I have faith in the FD and who ever we pick will be at the same spot as the guy that goes 1 or 80th . 

Personally Jackson, Young, Green and Kemp would all be fine. At least we have the opportunity to decide!

    Funny what happens when there is no Ross Lyon about to make it dour.

    • 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 The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
