    all the speculation in the lead-up to the draft had us grabbing max holmes; how serious was our interest in him and what was your reaction when geelong made the trade to bring him in and - theoretically - gazzump us by taking him?

    I was wondering if not having a Watson on the list made is less likely we were actually keen.

    How did the recruiting team go about assessing the Victorian prospects given the lack of exposed form?

    Probably an impossible question to answer

    But which Vic players did JT foresee rising up the rankings the most should there have been a proper season played?

    After bringing in 4 first round draft picks and 6 inside 34 over the past two years, are we likely to see a greater emphasis on trades and free agency to target list needs?

    I would like to know if JT is worried about the club not having a 1st round draft pick in next years draft given that it is meant to be a very very strong crop.

    How did the virus impact your ability to identify draftees?

    How much input do you have outside of Demonland, it looks like a fertile ground for people who know all of the best draftees and a massive $$$ saver after covid.

    How many clubs in total laughed and hung up on Lamby when he attempted to move us further up into the first round?

    I’d take it a little further:

    How many calls did we make on draft night to trade picks?  How many did we receive?  (In essence, were we happy with sliding 18/19)?  Reading the Collingwood article in the Age, they had calls from nearly everyone but us.

    Question who decides the deficiencies in the playing list, that then determines the selections in the draft,

    and how early are these deficiencies  identified and how early are  the targets,   targeted.

    Thanks

    Would love to know where JT sees the new draftees starting their career, position wise. Would also like to know if he thinks they are potential round 1 starters (pending a good pre-season), or if they'll need a bit more time.

    Who did Jason like if we still had our first round pick. which ended up being Pick 11 (Adelaide)? Just curious

    Also, how does he see recruiting next year with so much footy missed in 2020?

    Thanks

    I have about 15 questions about the leaks and need to better protect our draft board but I’ll save those.

    1. Obviously I’d like to know what role they see the new guys in and if he’s concerned about Bowey’s size or Laurie’s speed (he won’t be but it’s worth asking).

    2. Plans for the 2 remaining list spots and train on players?

    3. Tall and medium defensive depth and lack of list changes there.

    4. ‘Targeting’ certain attributes in recruiting, why? Sounds like it goes against best available which is dangerous 

    5. A review of previous drafts. What’s his process? Did the clubs mantra of ‘competitors’ overshadow the need for skills and run and lead to us playing catch up?

    Was going to be my question as well. Jason how is it determined who is on the list, is it a combo of recruitment staff and coaches ie these are the best players in the draft. Coaches then say these are the attributes we want in our team or are missing so who fits that criteria? And who wins ie Jackson last year wasn’t a need as such but is talent overrides the coaches objections?

    Ask him whether there will be a draft day video coming like we had last year

    Q: What was the rationale behind trading next years first round pick for essentially 2 early second round picks this year?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
