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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
