I think it's far more likely that Adelaide get an extra first round pick after Brad Crouch joins the Cats on a five year multi-million dollar deal as a RFA.

There are a few 2020 RFA's that might attract a first round pick; Wines and Viney come to mind.  Both out of contract and both recently lost their captaincy.

With all the Academy, FS and high quality FA's the 2020 draft will be a bit of fiasco.

 

Re Daniher, various clubs who need a tall forward will back themselves in to rehab him - it sounds like his rehab issues were as much (lack of) motivation at Essendon as physical.  Given that a club only has to stump up $ and no draft picks I suspect it won't only be Sydney keeping an eye on him.  I reckon he will get a package that with/without some AFL fiddling, rates him a first round comp pick.  Whether that is pick 2 or 19 depends on where Ess end the season.  Landsberger was suggesting they will be bottom 4.

    I could see Moore going next year to Bombers for Daniher in a straight swap. Moore can play both ends as well.....

    So I've heard...

    Why does every reporter have Gold Coast as wooden spooners. They will not win the wooden spoon.

    Im not sure which part i liked more.

    The fact that so many have us missing the Finals, or that one person tipped us for the flag.

    Strange feeling.

    Pretty big difference! Good on Moons for really sticking his neck out (love the mic drop as well!), I don't see it happening this year but if we're not in the mix for top 4-6 I'll be disappointed. The first 4 rounds are just so important for us.

    I meant that we wont have a lot of extra pressure on us to perform because so few of these commentators tip us to be much chop. Also makes it more enjoyable to prove a few of them wrong.

    I was happy that one thinks we are good enough to win, but also happy to be underdog.

    Like i said, its a strange feeling.

    This has to be more ammunition for coaches.

    "Most commentators think your [censored], don't select you to get in the 8. 

    the AFL think your [censored], didn't consider most of you in the bushfire showcase.

    Your opponents think your [censored] and they can beat you in the last quarter.

    YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN CHANGE THIS, get out there and win."

    And can be delivered at the star and at 3/4 time

    if in front need to keep there because "etc"

    if behind do you want to prove them right or are you better than that.

    Damp very much an advocate of the H&B narrative.

    We are together, we are a teamthat was the worst, we are fitter we are improved.

    Now need the match day rev up targeted at that day.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
