It seems all the talk going into this years National Draft is whether we split Pick 3 or who do we target with our Top 10 picks.

I want to know who we're going to target with the all important Pick 97.

I'm happy to put my hand up.  2 year deal, minimum wage (I'm happy to take a hit on what I'm on now).  A couple of years of free tracksuits, dieticians, personal trainers, and any free goodies that some of the stars are happy to throw my way.  I won't even request a trade at the end of next season or the one after.  Also happy to put up with 2 years of fan criticism on Demonland.

Just call me the modern day Lucas Cook.

Sounds good to me Lucas. Can you put up your highlights tape so we can get an early start on hanging [censored] on you ?

Will be used to upgrade one of the rookies, Lockhart or Dunkley maybe? Opens up another spot on the rookie list while keeping a very low paid player on the senior list - no real difference between the rookie and senior list now anyway but if we go to the draft with 3 & 8 we need to use that pick.

The best state league key position forward is the only way to go. Find a Podsiadly type that can come and play a role for a few years.

Not the worst idea poita

I guess it will be more like pick 70.  Most other clubs will be passing by then.  I suspect it will be a Dunkley or Lockhart upgrade to close out our deal.  We can then take DFA’s (Bennell, Buzza?) and Rookies as we move forward.

Rookie upgrades no longer require a draft pick number.

Rookies are upgraded prior to the draft and I believe each upgrade acts as a draft pick (without the number attached)

At least,  that's what happened last year so I'm assuming that's how they do it now.

So unless we trade picks 3 & 8 ... it will probably be rookie upgrade,  pick 3 and then pick 8.  And we'll possibly make a bid on Tom Green at pick 3.

Most clubs pass on picks that late. Maybe no-one or as mentioned the rookie upgrade. Lots of space on the rookie list now.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
