    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
