Malcom Rosas Jnr is expected to be a late draft/rookie prospect.

Kicked 2 goals in the Casey vs Australia U18s game earlier this year also.

    According to this article - How many picks will your club use in the 2019 draft? - “AFL.com.au has found there is likely to be a minimum of 62 picks and a maximum of 74 picks in the national draft.”

    That means that by the time the draft comes around, pick 97 will not really exist and our last pick will be in the early 70s if in fact we use it at all in the draft. We could use the selection as a rookie upgrade if the club decides to go down that path. 

    Therefore, I wouldn’t concern myself with #97 at this stage.

    Probably a hypothetical but if we keep pick 3 and 8,

    and take Murray as DFA & Bennell as SSP rookie

    we actually might get the last two live picks at the end being around 74 and 75. 
     

    BTW there’s the saying that it does not matter where you are drafted, pick 1 or 81, you go on an AFL list and try your hardest.  
    Harmesy missed out on being drafted but went in the rookie draft. It’s the heart and work ethic that determines the outcome sometimes.

    I think it’s already been explained elsewhere but we have 5 vacancies so based on your scenario, there would only be one vacancy left if we took 3 & 8, Murray as a DFA and Bennell as a SSP Rookie.

    BTW, if this happens, the chances of us also pursuing Jack Martin much further are diminished.

    * these are subject to special criteria for selection that are outside the drafting rules

    Hence, there are some alternate possibilities -

    1 In this scenario, we upgrade Jay Lockhart from the rookie list to enable Harley Bennell to be listed as a rookie in March. No trades or splitting of picks 

    36. Pick 3
    37. Pick 8
    38. Pick 97
    39. Sam Murray
    40. Jay Lockhart (rookie upgrade)

    Category A Rookies

    1. Harley Bennell 
    2. Kade Chandler
    3. Kyle Dunkley
    4. Corey Wagner  

    2 In this scenario, we opt for a primary list of 39 and Bennell becomes the 5th rookie 

    36. Pick 3
    37. Pick 8
    38. Pick 97
    39. Sam Murray

    Category A Rookies

    1. Harley Bennell 
    2. Kade Chandler
    3. Kyle Dunkley
    4. Jay Lockhart 
    5. Corey Wagner  

    Then there are other scenarios that would involve trading/splitting of picks and even going for a primary list of 38 + 6 rookies.

    Thanks. I thought we had 6. 
    outs - Lewis Maynard TSmith Frost Jkh stretch Garlett Keilty 

    ins - Langdon Tomlinson 

    I guess Dunkley now is an addition officially. He had to become listed as his mid year selection was actually because of injury list replacement for Nietschke. 
     

    so it’s 5 more !!

    Can say that again PF.  Throwing good players after bad.

    Ryan sparkes from gippsland power is one i hope the club has a eye on, in some games with power he looked just as talented as serong and flanders.

    He is a smooth moving wingman, always seems to have more time with the ball.

    I see alot of upside in him

    Fraser Phillips from Gippsland Power who trained with the Dees at the start of the year is someone I'd like to really consider if he is still there.

    Talented left footer who brings X factor and someone who I think is very underrated in this year's crop.

    I'd love to see us again have a really good look at the state leagues and get a mature age player. we've done pretty well so far with that approach. another Bailey Fritsch or Vanders for pick 97 would be a great result.

    With all of the picks used for the academy players so far I see that our fourth pick in this years draft has moved up to 74. No doubt this will move up more tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if this ends up in the 50’s or 60’s.

  • Quote

    Yes draft pick will fall to around 65-70

    but I think there is 5 spots available pre draft

    now down to 3

    That’s pick 30 and then Bennell and Brown as rookie/SSP Listings.

    We could get smart and trade for 99. 

    Yes split 97 and next years 43 for 86 and 99.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
