A potential mock could be 

22 Port - Trent Bianco

23 Lions - Josh Worrell

24 Crows Deven Robertson 
25 Crows Will Gould 

26 Cats  Trent Rivers

27 Swans Elijah Taylor 

28 kangas Jay Rantall 

29 kangas Hugo Ralphsmith 

30 Dees Jeremy Sharp 

 

 

 

That’s what the phantom drafts would lead us to believe but in reality it will look nothing like that.

    Agree. It’s just showing that plenty of good options in next 9-10 players available.  

    I rate Jeremy Sharp highly with pace, run and skills.  Good size at 187cms 78 kgs and experience at senior WAFL level.   

    Harrison Jones could also be a good option as a young key forward.

    I would love Robertson but he will be gone. Sharp would be a great get at 28.

    Wonder if clubs think Gould won't be able to keep the weight off and won't have the running capacity for AFL?

    He looks like a natural leader and a natural footballer.

    Hope we take the punt and get Clarry to teach him a thing or two. Both were similarly built at the time of their respective drafts.

    Robertson was a heavy 16 year old before he knuckled down

    Hey @Pennant St Dee, what are your thoughts on both Sharp and Rivers?  Both seem like great prospects and fill a need nicely for us in my opinion. Sharp I've heard is great outside runner with neat skills, Rivers gets good wraps as a solid all-rounder but mainly in defence. I could see him fitting in as a long-term replacement for Hibberd or Nev. Do you have a favourite or any other insights into these guys?

    I'm a Rivers fan, just seems so solid and I think our backline needs versatile that all round quality type who can play any of about 5 roles back there. I'm also interested in the idea of taking Williams and making him play half back to light a fire under him, very Sicily/Hardwick at Hawthorn like.

    Otherwise if they want to go Taylor that's fine by me. Same with Sharp, Gould, Bianco, although those 3 are kind of positives and negatives with attributes, less versatile.

    The only one who I haven't seen but I'm just fascinated by is the idea of Perez. A junior soccer star with elite kicking skills. Have you seen much of him J? 

    Sorry mate, haven't seen him play. Had read that Richmond have some interest and possibly will be a value pick up for someone due to his injury, but I don't have much of a reference point unforts.

    Reportedly poor attitude and doesn’t follow coaches orders/team gameplan. Would be drafted much higher if he did as he’s clearly more capable than most. I wouldn’t be disappointed at drafting him at 30!

    I’d love Robertson, but doubt he’ll slide to us.

    Would love one of Rivers or Bianco. Rivers is solid all round in defence. Bianco is a leader, finds a lot of ball, has good kicking skills and could become a smallish defender or midfielder.

    I like the inclusion of Brock Smith.  I saw two power games this year and he looked a solid smart defender. Strong build, composed and can deliver the footy. I know there is about 8-9 really good other youngsters but Smith would be a good call out as well. A local boy

    As long as we don’t do anything outrageous, we are in a very good spot. Could tick off a bunch of needs in one draft. One of Rivers, Gould, Sharp, Taylor, Bianco or Williams would make me very happy.

    And not an unrealistic chance that we’ll get to choose one either.

    @ChaserJ have you seen much/any of Cam Taheny. Sounds like an option aswell.

    Do that and you could have Robertson and that would shut a lot of criticism down. Only one club to pass on him then needed.

    Or wait until Port make their pick then get on the phone to the Lions. Unless they want him.

    That is what I meant. Set the deal up now if possible and do it if Port take another player.

    This would be a great outcome. It would also mean we pick up 2 WA boys, which will be good long term. Robertson would be the icing on the cake but Jeremy Sharp would be pretty good to. At least Taylor still has options,  including his name sake, Elijah.

    I read somewhere last night the Lions were very keen on him.

    As they would be. He should have gone first round. What a steal!

    Robertson and Bianco unlikely to be available.

    Would be happy with one of Sharp, Taheny, Rantall, Cassar, or Dylan Williams.
    Rantall and Williams are probably my faves.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
