    Is anyone/website tracking the revised draft order as Academy bids are matched.  Would like to see what has happened to our #28 and #50.

    He'll go before our picks anyway so it doesn't matter if North pick him.

    Will he though?

    Tigers will likely take Macrae with the pick before ours.

    Hoping for him and Cook though!

    Yes... Cotchin and Martin both at the tail end of their careers.

    Live pick swap with pies if mcrae doesnt get picked by gws would make sense

    Why no bid on McInnes?

    [censored] you Collingwood! Wanted Macrae badly. 

    Hoping for Cook and Carroll now!

    Another idea to make the academies and father son a bit more "fairer".

     

    Similar system to now (points discount and bidding system) but you must have your next pick within 1 round (~17 picks) of the original pick, or else you can't bid. So you move up at most 1 round, plus pay the rest of the points from future picks like current.

    The club who gets out-bid gets the next pick like usual, and also another pick exactly 1 round later (~18 picks) as compensation. 

    So Dogs would have needed to keep their first rounder to bid. Adelaide would have got picks 2 and pick 21 (1st pick of round 2) in return for pick 1. Not perfect, but better than nothing. And the draft order is only a little effected overall.

     

    You can downgrade your picks, but if you trade them out completely, you could miss out on your player if you underestimate their pick.

    And live trading is increased as clubs offer to drop back in the draft order on the night if academy or f/s players go a bit lower than expected.

    • 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.
