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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
