We’re going a bit early on this because of the interest surrounding Melbourne’s trade of its 2020 future # 1 draft pick last year. Here’s the table created by bigfooty poster Lore based on the current ladder:-

Adelaide 1 6 20 29 41 53 67
Brisbane Lions 18 19 40 61    
Carlton 8 27 45    
Collingwood 17 34 39 68    
Essendon 9 49 64 66 69    
Fremantle 4 26    
Geelong 11 12 15 33    
Gold Coast Suns 13 31 36 72    
GWS Giants 25 43 71
Hawthorn 5 21 42 46 60 65    
Melbourne 24 44 59 63
North Melbourne 2 7 28 57 62    
Port Adelaide 23 35 37 50 55    
Richmond 16 32 52 70    
St Kilda 14 58 73    
Sydney    3 22 54 56    
West Coast Eagles 30 48 51    
Western Bulldogs 10 38 47

 

Freo may move back based on being in points debt from last year. They may go from 4 to 6, for example.  Won’t worry us unless we trade back in (which I doubt).

Hard to know how it plays out if lists are savaged, do we still have to take 3?

Which club's second round pick do we own?

Hawks. Part of Frost trade.

Third round is our own I think.

Fourth round is tied to Freo.

I might have that all wrong.

That Haw 2nd round pick is looking better and better each week.

Frost for pick 21 every day of the week. Great job JM

Wow that would be a great outcome.

We traded him in for pick 23, so we've come out alright!

 

 

 

Not sure if he'll still be there for our first pick, but hope Jason Taylor and the team are considering young Logan McDonald from the Perth Demons. He's been turning heads over here in the west. Looks a great prospect. I watched him on Saturday against the Falcons and he didn't have the best game but still kicked two and showed some glimpses of brilliance. His aerial ability is fantastic, judges his leap and plucks the ball from on high.

He’s probably in top 5 calculations now, McDonald’s had a terrific season for Perth so far.


Hopefully a club like North Melbourne with early picks make a few clubs use up their early picks by bidding on F/S and Academy players.  This is where the NGA are so unfair, the Bulldogs have a kid that is rumoured to be top pick, the bulldogs have pick 8, this enabled them to go hard on a trade with pick 8, trade pick 8 for a future first round pick, there is not a chance that the Bulldogs will take pick 8 in this years draft, as long as they can have enough points to cover the pick in late second rounders and third round picks.

I'm not all over the F/S and Academy players but all we here is the top end of this draft is full of them.

On the flip side it might give us a chance if we want to get a pick in the top 10, lets say Future first round pick and pick 23 for Bulldogs pick 8 and future second round pick

 

I think the academy and NGA systems are an absolute crock, and has gone some way to stuffing up the drafts supposed equity.

I also think that the F/S discount should not apply either. Having first dibs should be the only advantage a team gets when drafting.

Northern clubs may have a sook, but let's remember they chose to establish themselves as AFL clubs in their respective locations, knowing full well both the pros and cons of doing so. If they don't like it, they shouldn't have formed themselves in such a vicinity.

Don't the Sun's get middle 1st round  (11) and start 2nd round (19) PPs? Or have i got that wrong?

As a side note, I see the AFL are planning to phase out academy zone selections in 1st and 2nd rounds. Meaning that academy players are open slather during those rounds. Not this year though.

Draft shake up

Edit. I just saw GCS traded 2020 first round PP to WCE for 2019 pick 27 (Jeremy Sharp)

NGA priority access changed, I wonder if this will also include the Northern state academies.

Do we have any NGA kids from this year draft?

Deakyn Smith. But he’s a late draft pick option like Bedford. Hard to gauge him given no matches in 2020.

Being the lack of visibility of development this year surely its a great time to have concentrated picks in the 25-60 range where you may chance late developing kids who could not show their wares this year. Even some players don’t really show out as much until the champs when the quality rises around them or they are forced to play a different role than at club level. Think of how many bolters  there have been due to the championship or post champs that have shot in from 25-40 or further range to be top 10 or top 25.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
