    Hopefully we land a player at 17. We have the best young talent in the comp. It would be great to expand on that, and land that superstar at this pick. In a Covid year, I reckon it’s a great pick to have, in addition to our later picks. Club is so well positioned after 7-8 years of planning. Many of the lower rung sides are rightfully excited about having good early picks. But it’s one thing to have them, and another thing to get them right. Hopefully they don’t get them right, and we capitalize at 17.

    Is there a problem with him?

    He looks decent, just seems pretty slow.

    Matt Roberts reminds me of Dyson Heppell.  He’s a midfielder but also an all rounder type.  Certainly talented and wouldn’t be a poor choice.  I thought Power would be his new home given they need to restock their midfield.  Not sure he’s what MFC would pick but given he’s been top 10 quality, if he was a slider then JT would have to consider.  I think we may hope for a Goater, Sinn or Sonsie if they slide through.   I think all will be gone imv and would be looking at Chesser or Wilmot for outside run and pace across wing/half back.

    Horne-Francis is the most universally agreed Number 1 pick since Scully

    Not sure about that, I think every club would've taken Walsh and Rowell, where as Daicos is absolutely right there with JHF. If they were both available it would be a really tricky choice. JHF probably gets the edge due to exposed senior form and more x factor. Still, North better man up and bid pick 1 on Daicos.

    Yeah true

    was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment re Scully

    Read a bit about ruckman Josh Cripps, brother of Patrick. Havent seen much vision, but like the sound of him.

    Is he an option for us? Anyone know of his draft range?

    Ben Waterworth of Fox Sports with an article on the seven clubs that will play a major role at the AFL Draft in November.

    Seven clubs are set to load up at the AFL draft. These young stars can fix their big issues

    There’s something weird about the article. 

    Numerous draft prospects are mentioned in it but there’s one name conspicuously missing. Mac Andrew.

    Why would that be?

    Those 7 clubs dont need a high risk long term development player which is what Andrew is

    They need on ballers with immediate impact

    Andrew will be available late second round early third in my opinion due not to his qualities but more to do with club needs

    Interesting that they have us taking Roberts at 17 but then follow that with Mitch Knevitt going to brisbane with much better stats and better write up than Roberts.

    Was told in grand final week that the club have put a lot of time into Mitch Knevitt. 

    I don't follow the draft so i don't know anything about him but he's the only name I've had mentioned to me aside from Woewodin JNR.

    If we draft him, I'd like to nominate "Evil" as his nickname.

    Knevitt seems to be projected to go anywhere between picks 15-30 (such is the evenness of the middle parts of the first round onwards). He seems very much like a Goodwin/Taylor player. Big bodied inside mid, but apparently also quick.

    Yes definitely will appeal given his size and pace.  Knevitt would probably appeal to the Cats at pick 22 if he lasted that long. It might be another chance for the Dees to get Chris Scott angry 🤣🤣🤣

    I don't love that tape at all. Seems to rush a lot of his disposals and doesn't play with any power, he doesn't use his speed to take on tacklers and doesn't hold the ball to release runners. A couple of good quick handballs but a couple of panicked turnover ones too. More of a Setterfield or Cale Morton type from that viewing. At that size and athleticism there's plenty to work with but there's also a lot of work to do!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
