    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?

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
