Like to see Will Bravo in this game.  Genuine pace and goalkicker.
Another interesting player is Isaac Wareham. Excellent running half back- wing type.  Good skills. Unlucky to miss out on 2019 draft.  Now at Geelong Cats VFL team.

Trade a bloke who has rediscovered his best form? Have you been kicked off Facebook and need the attention?

Just thinking, we have a riches of big men, and with. Toms form being excellent, teams would now be frothing to get him on their list, are we able to trade him out, and pick up a player that fills a n

The mid-season draft is just that, a draft. Not a trade period...

Boomer Harvey anyone?

So he could train with our players and get them used to incessant “I am innocent, ump” sniping??

On Saturday, May 8, club recruiters will get a chance to see some of the best contenders for the mid-season draft feature in the Colgate Young Guns game for Under 23 prospects at Werribee Oval (2.40pm). 

Is it just me that finds it strange that there appears to be no-one aged 21-23 in an u23 match

A key back in case of further injuries would be handy

Also a mature ruck, in case Gawn goes down or needs a breather - as he is getting beaten up every week now.

Ironic that we overlooked Oscar McIneirny when he was playing as a Casey Demon. ?

Yes.  He has turned into one of the top VFL midfielders (wing/ruck rover).  Has good pace and excellent skills.  Won Port Melbourne B&F in 2019. Has returned this year even fitter and stronger.  Took on some StKilda listed players last week and beat them in the contest and spread.  I guess we are ok for mids but he could play a role on the wing.  I think we probably need a wing/outside pace (Templeton/ Bravo) and/or perhaps another insurance key defender (Coughlan).

But he was available at our first pick and instead went for some unknown giraffe in Lochie Fillapovic.

That's what we recruited Daw for preseason.

I'd like us to recruit one more inside mid type, as it's an area where we look a bit skinny at the moment depth wise.

A replacement for Tomlinson would be ideal for us. We can use this draft to our advantage. Perfect time to bring in a mature bodied replacement. Even if slightly older to just fill a role for the year.

This is now an important part of our season.. we need to make the most of this draft. Do we need an extra back or another outside runner?

What is everyone's thoughts? this is no longer just a draft to fill spare spots, we need to make sure this is used as a strategic move to add to our list and help with player management.

Agree. We need to drive hard for the premiership.  We have the chance this year. We must believe we can win it.  
 

I think the mid year draft could be a “cover all bases” approach and find  

1st a pacy wing type midfielder

and perhaps …

2nd a taller defender.

 I think we have coverage across forwards tall and small, Ruck, inside mids  and small defenders coverage.

We definitely need a key back as cover for Petty if he gets injured. I say we need a ruck if Daw gets injured. Do we have 3 picks or 2? If we have 3 just the best available.

Looks like Marty Hore may be ready for a late season/finals re-birth if we run into a few injuries, re-joining the group for running this week.....you'd assume 10-12 weeks from there to be fit and smash a mini preseason

I'd prefer him to stay out for 12 months the risk of doing it again is likely.

One of the boys on the Deebrief podcast has a cousin named Will Hart who plays for Oakleigh Chargers. Apparently someone on our recruitment team is interested in picking him up in the mid season draft. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Interesting. 

Will Hart is a 19 year old tall prospect at 195cm.

Has played 3 NAB league games so far. It looks like the theme of the mid season draft for us will be depth for our defenders.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
