    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
