Preseason Draft

in Melbourne Demons

We have pick 2 in the PSD and Iā€™m interested to see who we could nab.Ā 

Jack Martin was spoken about but seems that he is not interested.

Harley Bennell is a possible but seems to be a risk?

Riley Knights, Casbolt, Henderson and Gray also likely

Any thoughts?

    If itā€™s not Martin then it seems weā€™ve wasted an opportunity. We wonā€™t be near the top of the drafts again for sometime so need to make it count.

    Levi has already signed on at Carlton. I assume most of the other names if they picked up by another club will be a delisted free agent. I assume the Pre season draft won't be used apart from Carlton with Jack Martin considering that it's the same day as the draft now

    So then you think we should plan for a bunch of high draft picks in the coming years because we'll fail?

    I'd rather live with the same belief as Lord Travis. Life is too short.

    That's all good - but the reality is MFC has finished better than 10th twice in the last 10 years and played finals once - hardly inspiring stuff that fills you with confidence

    Like you I live in hope ever year but to say we won't be close to the top of the drafts for sometime is a stretch based on history and the past season performance wouldn't you sayĀ

    Sorry if Iā€™m mentioning it in the wrong thread. But I think we should take Sam Murray. Delisted free agent I think!

    In the context of annual drafts, which is what this board is about, I think it's perfectly appropriate to plan as if we won't have high draft picks for a while.

    Do you think our recruiters plan for failure?

    We need a Jakovich or Jurrah.Ā Ā 

    No worries, there should be plenty of them everywhere.

    Those players - apart from Martin - will be delisted free agents available to sign without the draft. When it comes to the PSD we will have 3 options:

    1. Martin
    2. Pass
    3. Catch wind of Gold Coast (unlikely due to being able to prelist academy pick ups) with pick 1 in the rookie draft or any other team with a subsequent pick being interested in players we want to rookie draft, forcing us to reassess our plans and add them to our main list.

    We must pick Martin if he's not delisted & declared a free agent & nominates Carlton. The Suns aren't going 2 do Carlton any favours so if he goes in National Draft they will need to use pick 9 or the run risk that someone else picks him up. Or he nominates PSD in which case Suns redraft him or WE do b4 Carlton at pick 3. Stuff Martin he must go to whoever drafts him so I'm hoping we grow a pair & pick him.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLā€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.Ā

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iā€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonā€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youā€™d like to ask or say below and weā€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youā€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
