Lets face it JT was not giving anything away and why make the other recuiters job easy by ruling out a player maybe his stratergy is to make other recuiters take Jackson so Kemp is there at 8.

    Dodoro or Mahoney, I''ll stick with our bloke.

    it was never going to get Dodoro – a man some clubs simply refuse to engage with in Trade Period – to the negotiating table.

    Funny thing is, he'd rate himself a 10/10 for doing his job effectively. A more pompous Peter Bell.

    He even puts FIGJAM to shame.

    Yeah shouldn’t have picked Gawn, what a terrible pick that has turned out to be.

    No it was good but he was pick 38 not a top 10 pick, the tall ruckman are given more time to develop. Midfielders don't get that time.

    There must be issues at Bombers as they appointed Daniher, Fantasia and Myers to leadership group,  dropping Hurley and Hooker. Apparently players on list were upset. Daniher and Fantasia wanted to leave at end of season and Myers asked to play second half of season in the VFL and then retired. 

    Hope unrest is continuing.

    It’s well worthwhile listening to the whole interview with Jason Taylor.

    He won’t be giving anything away so you have to read between the lines.

    It was interesting  that when Kemp was mentioned, it appeared to me that he was unconvinced about him..

    I think Robertson may be the target 

    Take Young at 3 having put it out there you're keen on Young and Jackson. Also mention Kemp with Robertson 

    Freo would love Robertson and Jackson and may gamble on taking Jackson with 7 and us taking Kemp

     

    This is exactly it. Float the possibility of us taking Jackson at 3, that way if he’s still on the board at 8 we look certain to select him. Freo will panic and select him at 7. Job done.

    Jeepers. Would we want Robertson, PSD? He sounds solid, but not what you'd want for a top 10 pick.

    Not really sure AF, I like Kemp very much especially at pick 8 and don't even mind Stephens.

    We have a lot of talent but really lack that leadership and have done for a while since Neiter.

    Viney has shown it on field in the first 2 finals of 2018, but he's just got to focus on getting his body right.

    I look at Selwood and Hodge as culture changers and absolute leaders, Robertson is that type of leader

    The blurb below is stolen from the AFL Draft Central A.F. Deven won best player of the U18 champs, picked in the centre of the All Aus team and made captain of it. That’s pretty solid!


    DEVEN ROBERTSON – WESTERN AUSTRALIA (CAPTAIN)

    The Western Australia captain finished with a swagger of awards including state MVP, Larke Medal and All Australian jumper and the captaincy to boot. The ball winning midfielder not only had an impressive carnival, but he dominated, picking up the most ever disposals – 120 – which was two more than Sam Walsh last year. He also amassed an average of 4.3 marks, 6.8 tackles, 4.8 clearances, 4.0 inside 50s and 3.5 rebounds in a well-rounded game overall.

    Thanks mate. I wonder if he was a Victorian whether there'd be a lot more hype around him.

    It's really a problem this Victorian bubble. It means WA teams can hide their top talent.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.
