We'll be LIVE TONIGHT @ 8:30pm featuring our interview with Jason Taylor. After the interview @Grapeviney and I will be joined by @george_on_the_outer to discuss our draft picks, the 2020 fixture, our preseason training & much more.

Listen & Chat LIVE: https://demonland.com/podcast

Call: 03 9016 3666

Skype: Demonland31

We love hearing from Demonlanders so please call with your thoughts on our trade & draft periods, the draw or your observations of training if you've had the chance to head down to Gosch's Paddock.

 

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.

All irrelevant really Tony

Why did you turn left at the last intersection. It's Donecandcdusted deal with the

 result now!


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?

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.

16.20

 

 

Getting Taylor for the podcast is a brilliant score boys particularly right after the draft.  Demonland at its best. Thanks

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
