  • Demonland changed the title to Welcome to Demonland - Pick 25 (Dees/Swans Pick Swap)
 

I guess that means we will only be using picks 25 and 28 in the draft

    request to change JMs job title to the professional pick swapper. i love what he's doing with this he's clearly one of very few who has their head fully around everything going on. if we get richo to actually assess the list and target needs and impress signees then we're gonna be laughing in the next few years

    Given we only have to use one pick at the ND, is it possible we're looking to send 25 and 28 for a first rounder?

    Where has this been reported?  I have clearly missed it.  TIA.

    Say what you like about how crap we are on field, I think off field we are one of the best clubs at getting trades done and taking full advantage of the system. We are very clever at trading for picks and once a player makes his intentions clear we always get the trades done with minimal fuss.

    I believe clubs really like to work with us, and that also helps enormously as we are not in the business of screwing everyone over.

    Changed this year due to the list size reduction.

    Absolutely Jaded, provides so much flexibility.

    I'm happy to package these for Footscray's pick 14 but equally happy to use both picks in the draft

    How does 25 possibly equal 31 + 43? Should be closer to pick 20 under any metric. 

    We are dead set kidding ourselves if taking two live picks in this draft is anywhere near enough.

    I love that we traded pick 26 as part of the Brown deal, then traded to get a single pick ahead of that minutes later. Nice.

    • 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?
