The Dunkley’s did a deal with Sydney that they would only accept a father son nomination if the Swans agreed to only match interstate clubs. Josh only wanted to go to Sydney if it was to avoid another interstate club, he had a strong desire to stay in Victoria. The Swans not matching had nothing to do with not rating Josh. 

Thanks DS. Didn’t know that intel.

    I would like us to grab Caleb Poulter a potential class act apparently  Happy to take Jack Carroll, Errol Gulden and Sam Berry though.

    Poulter would also be a good addition. Classy skilled left footer with good size and tackling ability. He’s definitely in the frame.

    After giving this careful consideration, I think we'll end up with:

    1.  Charlie Winner

    2.  Juan Hundred-Gamer

    3.  Andy Depth

    Interesting draft year for me, knowing less about the players than in any other year I can remember.
    I can sit back and be happy with whoever we get.

    On the piece of paper, in order of potential priority and likely availability  

    Macrae ?

    Carroll ?

    Cook ?

    Laurie

    Stone

    * bid Gulden

    * bid Coleman 

    Poulter

    Bowey 

    Winder

    Ford

    Angwin

    (* both Gulden and Coleman are excellent youngsters but imv bids are definitely going to be matched... but we may as well force swans and lions to use points)

    As the picks currently stand pre-draft.

    18. Carroll

    19. Holmes

    28. Bowey (if we keep it)

    or

    50. Callow 

    Think we'll add a tall to compliment our team if we go for two medium sized runners. Either that or another small forward but I don't think there will be much in the way of quality at the back end of the draft.

    I believe Green is pushing the credentials of Holmes very hard at the Dees.  I think he was his school footy coach.  Can anyone confirm this?

    I’ve heard of the Green House link but never Green Holmes

    Green was at St Kevin's and Holmes played school footy at Melbourne Grammar.

    No link at all.

    Don't think so Dazzle, almost certain Green was at MGS.

    Reckon we’ll swap 18 & 19 for North (originally our) pick 11.

    And take Archie

    Considering Essendon are expected to take him, and the fact that they have three (?) picks before 11, I can't see that happening. I get the feeling we may stay with the two picks rather than upgrade.

    And we'll say that we took Charlie Winner because he was clearly "the best available" with our first pick; that Hundred-Gamer "comes from a great family"; and we "couldn't believe our luck" that Depth was still available at our third pick. I accept that I may have those statements in the wrong order, though.

    So are we taking 3 or 4 players - I thought with the players being shifted to the rookie list we could now take 4?

    We’ve got room for 5 if we really wanted to, but every pick after 3 means we’re using a main list spot rather than a rookie spot. In effect we’d be spending 80k salary cap we don’t want to spend. 
     

    The draft could fall a particular way that makes 4 picks too good to pass up. But 3 seems far more likely.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
