    So our 2021 draft hand looks like this now.

     

    Round 2 pick tied to Brisbane

    Round 3 pick tied to Western Bulldogs

    Round 3 pick tied to Hawthorn

     

    Essentially 3 picks most likely in the range of 30 - 50.

     

    No first or fourth round pick.

    Hopefully we win the premiership and I won’t care about Draft night. 

    That's the dream.

    How did we manage to get that pick swap thru the AFL!

    We have no pick 1 next year so technically not supposed to trade out any other picks. 

    The 2021 4th round pick was tied to North so if Hawks go up the ladder they have done very well from that pick swap.

    I thought the same thing. I feel these rules are applied loosely when it's not involving a first round pick. We still have three picks in the subsequent rounds and we're better off so AFL probably gave it the all clear.

    As we can see from tonight, a future fourth round pick is worthless. If next year’s draft is as slow as this, we might not get some of those future picks until 2022!

    Essendon trading for Oliver would make sense.

    Do we have any more room on our list to draft any rookies?

    Or is our list signed, sealed and delivered?

    Overall im quite happy with how we went tonight. Laurie and Bowey are two of the absolute best kicks in the draft which is obviously what we've been crying out for. Laurie I think is a really good chance to play round 1 next year who should be able to slot straight in as a small forward. Bowey could be a chance as well up forward depending on what structure we want to go with, or he could even line up on the opposite wing to Langdon round 1 if he's fit enough. Laurie and Bowey are both very zippy, good tacklers, and most importantly have elite skills and are elite decision makers with ball in hand. When Taylor said we were after quick, creative, classy players that is Laurie and Bowey to a tee and very happy with the pickups. 

    A bit disappointed we didn't go for Carroll but there must be some valid reason we didn't pick him but never less Fraser Rosman is another exciting youngster who could be anything. Extremely raw with having played only a few NAB league games as a 17 year old but has some serious weapons with height, pace, endurance, and booming kick. Could potentially become a unique wingman or key forward. Apparently tore up a practice game for Sandringham at the start of the year and could've shot up the boards. Definitely a pick on potential and we probably won't see much of him next year but it looks like a potential high reward investment in years to come.

    MELBOURNE

    Picks (at the start of draft): 18, 19, 28, 50, 89

    Selections: Jake Bowey (21), Bailey Laurie (22), Fraser Rosman (34)

    The Dees drafted the son of former St Kilda player Brett with their first selection. Jake Bowey’s classy skills in recent seasons have impressed clubs, with the small also performing exceptionally well in the speed and endurance tests. He has the ability to hit the scoreboard close to goal, but isn’t afraid to put his body on the line when he plays in the midfield. His stoppages work is also very good. With the following selection they took another smart player, with small forward Bailey Laurie. He was part of the Oakleigh Chargers premiership side in 2019. His footy IQ is through the roof and he is very clean with his disposal. Rosman is a fine selection for the club with his versatility and outside skills fitting a need for the Demons. He plays like Isaac Smith and has a nice left foot kick. His long limbs make him a tough opponent around the ball.

    Grade: A-

    Knightmare must have fallen asleep at the end.  Yes Isiah Winder stays in WA at the Eagles.  I think the brackets are his prediction at where they would be drafted.

    He played 1 practice game this year. One of our directors used to coach him. There wasn't any need to repeatedly interview him or let anyone know we were interested. It wasn't like it was just Holmes we were linked to either. Laurie and Bowey were both heavily linked to us. 

    Jason Taylor even does a Melbourne media hit the night before the draft stating his desire for outside run and skills. 

    Waterboarding might get it through your thick head.

    Melbourne = dumb club = lose a lot of games.

    Smart club = no leaks, run misdirection, sneaky, get their picks = win games.

    I'll be happy when we stop doing stupid things.

    Or maybe it was all a ruse DS and we really wanted Fraser Rosman all along ?

    Hate to say it but Coll recovered from their trade period disasters.

    They started with picks:  14, 16, 65, 66, 68 of any potential value.  Somehow they converted them (and their 2021 1st pick) to picks 17, 19, 23, 30, 31 and 44 (after matched picks).  And their draftees included the highly touted Macrae, Henry and Mc Innes. 

    Excellent pick swapping and drafting.  They did very, very well.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
