The only thing I’m sure of is that if we use pick 28, it will be on some random that Fox Footy don’t even have a profile picture for and Shifter Sheehan will pretend he knows him.

3. Anderson. 10. Kemp. 28. Gould.  #ETthedraftwhisperer. #Whatdoesheknow?

I can now see the argument for naming my future children "Best Available".  Guaranteed AFL career.

I think the Doggies might take Weightman the pick before that unfortunately. if they do i reckon we're a chance to get Kemp with that pick. 

otherwise i agree. 

would be rapt with Green. looks a ready made player and a star of the future. 

Yeah my selection is probably more hope than reality. Get the feeling we'll only get one out of Weightman and Pickett.

Spoke to a contact last night and he gave me the below top 15. The ones in brackets are known amongst the industry as pretty much 100% going to happen. Not sure where the Green bid is going to come, but it appears to have dropped right down to around Carlton/Melbournes second pick for whatever reason. Absolute joke that GWS will get him so cheap!

GC - Rowell (confirmed)
GC - Anderson (confirmed)
Melb - Jackson (confirmed)
GWS - Ash
Syd - Flanders
Ade - McAsey
Freo - Young (confirmed)
Freo - Serong (confirmed)
Freo - Henry (match Carltons bid)
Carl - Stephens
Melb - Pickett
Haw - Kemp

I've been told Carlton will 100% take Stephens if Freo don't. and the curve ball would be if the Crows picked him.

Not doubting your info, but by my info there's no chance Green goes outside the top 5-6 picks.

Yeah I was told Carlton likely bid on Henry, have it matched, then take Stephens.

I hope your mail is right! Mine was unsure and said it was now sounding later than originally expected. Sydney still a chance to bid, but seemed to have cooled/kept cards closer to chest.

So GWS get to a GF and get another couple of guns to add to their list. Reckon they’ll win a couple of flags in the next few years

I don't follow the draft because I don't feel I have any knowledge of the draftees, so my apologies for asking -  but what process leads to a grand finalist getting pick 4?

Trading and given ongoing benefits from the AFL. The AFL looking after their franchise at the detriment of struggling established clubs.

What a glorious and completely fair competition it currently is ?

How do we not take Deven Robertson or Brodie Kemp if the picks before play out like that?

Because for whatever reason we rate Pickett higher than those two, despite exposed form showing otherwise.

That's damn impressive.  Right on almost all counts up to our second pick, including the bids on Henry and Green.

Yeah my source was pretty bang on.

Much to my dismay I knew about Jackson and Pickett about a week ago. I’ll see if I can find out anything about our early pick tonight.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
