    Great get guys! Well done!

    Love to hear more from him about Sparrow and Jordon if possible, maybe even Bradtke.

    Please ask if we would have gone for Anderson if GCS didn’t get the priority pick? Also if we were close to bidding on Green and whether GWS snookered us by moving to pick 4?

    If you get the chance i’d be interested to know if they take into consideration the “go home factor” on a player by player basis if at all.

    How does he and Mahons work in relation to picks? Taylor rates this years draft better than next, “hey Josh get me as many low picks as you can this year!” Does that happen?

    Since he came to the club is there a player or 2 he was uhming and ahhing about and chose a different player that he now regrets not taking?

    Any players we were going to pick but just got pipped on by another club that he’d love to have at Dees?

    Questions:

    Can he give us a rundown on who the demons might have coming up as potential academy picks (or whatever they're called)? There are clubs that seem to be dripping with options and others (like us who have very few). Can he clarify our (NT) zone in this regard and has any of it been lost to GCS. I believe we have the Alice Springs area but is that the extent of it?

    Can he also talk about father-sons coming up in the next few years? Is Jeff White's son automatically tied to GCS with these new gift rules or can he still come to us (assuming he makes the AFL grade)?

    What is the departmental structure now that T Viney is behind a tractor? Who's the list manager etc?

    Cheers

    Considering we took three interstaters in the draft, I’d like to know how much ‘flight risk’ or ‘return home’ factor they take into consideration? I’m assuming a straight bat answer by JT might be played here and clubs like to back themselves in but to be fair dinkum - does this not rank highly in the selection process?

    It might be too specific, but I'd love to hear his thoughts about Pickett vs Weightman.

     

    I'd also be interested to hear about:

    - science vs stats vs gut feel when it comes to drafting. Are certain stats non negotiable or very strong lead indicators? How strongly is biometric information considered? Ie expected height based on family data?

    - draft night process. Do we rate all players in the draft in order then pick the highest available? Do we rate groups of players collectively so that we can pick sliders? Who makes the call to trade live picks vs draft what is available?

    In the interview with Cal Twomey he said because of where we looked like finishing he sat on some junior players quite closely towards the end of the year. Can you ask if Jackson and Pickett were two of those players?

    Kobe Farmer.

    Also Kalani White (the other Jeff's son). Probably still a few years off but would be interesting to know if Father Son trumps Gold Coast's academy zone selection. Knowing the AFL they will most likely change the rules if he is looking like a gun.

    I'd like to ask him who he expects to jump out of the pack this year and surprise.  Also, where is Petty pencilled in to play.

    Some really good questions suggested here, mine are mundane.....

    Asking about NGA prospects for next year would be good. Kobi George and Deakyn Smith I am aware of, but are there others?

  • Quote

    Just to finish with a trivial one:

    Daisy Pearce has had twins, a girl and a boy. 

    If both of them turn out to be potential AFL players, what is their eligibility to play for MFC as Mother son/daughter?

    If you're referring to this season, Goodwin said he will play forward in his interview with SEN.

    Daisy said on SEN last year when they were born that she needs to play 50 AFLW games.

    Seems a bit rich when they only played about 8 games last season.

    They should lower it to 25 or 30 if they are only going to play just over a handful of games a year.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
