    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
