Inside the Draft

It was interesting seeing us trying to move up the order -  Richmond basically laughed at us when we suggested a future 4th and swap of seconds or something to get up to 21 from 30.  I guess it's easy to say that we should have had a 2nd rounder or two up our sleeve but you can never be sure what's going to happen, and you have to give those second rounders to get something - we had to give ours up this year to get Langdon. 

They clearly rate Robertson, will be interesting to see how he goes at the Lions.

    The targeting of Georgiades and the Mitch Brown signing makes me think the club has little to no faith in Weidman making the grade.

    And thats not even mentioning LJ whos likely to start as a forward too.

    Because it wouldn't be anything to do with the departure of Pedersen, Hogan and T.Smith over the last couple of years and the injury worries for TMac... But yeah, they probs re-contracted Weid due to that lack of faith.

    It's a great insight and I think the Rivers selection is just what we needed to round out this draft/trade period.

    He will come back to bite a few recruiting managers on the a.... in the near future.

    As Taylor said at the end he is an MCG player.

    seems like they got everyone they were after. I know they showed some interest in Robertson and Georgiades, but it looks like they never fully expected those guys to get through to our 3rd pick anyway, with them showing surprise at Robertson still being available for the 2nd round, and with Taylor commenting that he didn't expect Georgiades to get past 24 either.

    Agree.

    And it is exactly the sort of interesting, diverse content the club should be producing. Not expensive either.

    And versatility.  Sounds like he could be a goer.

    I wonder who offered the 2020 1st round picks to Richmond? One can only speculate.

    Amazing that after all that, they took Thomson Dow. Highly rated for them I guess.

    I'd love Jason Taylor to be picking my Tattslotto numbers because he knows who is going where before it is called......

    Isn't it their job to know who's interested in which players? Every club knew exactly who we were taking with 3 and 10, and everyone knew about our interest in Rivers.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
