MFC now look to have picks 38 and 42 albeit this is amended up and down by potential NGAs and zoning or even we might package up to get to pick 31 off the Eagles potentially or the Cats pick 32.  
 

Certainly some bargain sliders available in Johnson, Howes, Butler, Sonsie, Draper or Goater.   Then there is the predicted 2nd round core group of Knevitt, Conway, Zac Taylor &  Bazzo.  NGAs and zoning inclusions likely to be matched include Motlop, Owens, Windhager and Fahey. That could stretch out the round. 

who might be available…

Hopefully (but unlikely) Connor Macdonald slides down to our next pick or we package up to get him earlier up the board. He’s a good running outside mid and would be a handy addition. Others in the frame could be midfielder Corey Warner for his strong competitor nature or half fwd Judson Clarke for his goalkicking  and pace.  Wagner would add to our East Freo connection. 

Indeed JT might have a Smokey in the pack. It’s unlikely to be another key back or forward but you never know. 
 

pick 42 - if don’t package or trade it out into 2022, could be used on Charlie Molan (competitor, wing half back type)  Lewis Rayson (skilled left foot mid-defender) or Isaac Birt (goalkicking wingman).

Maybe Cripps as a ruck/forward may be the way to go with our 2nd pick if he is still on the board.
Our only ruck Back up is Majak.

If Conway is available he would be my first choice but he probably will not be around even if we package a couple of picks and trade up.

I like our strategy of loading up with kids the last few years and needs this year. Tassy will be in soon/2 or 3 years? and their concessions will hurt the rest of the comp.

My eye is on Tassie player Sam Banks as a running half back type to add some depth to our medium defender stocks. Reportedly has excellent disposal and great athletic attributes.

187cm 73kg

Limited highlights, first 5-10 seconds have a significant glitch in the video which should come with a seizure warning.

Pick 38 would be a running backman wouldn't it. Whoever that is? Woewodin will be pick 42.

Who is Sam Banks ?

Jeremy  Howes brother in law ?

A friend of yours? 

Tim Paines Manager ? 

Why is he any better than the draftees in Vic etc? 

Age and history please 

Very light 73 kg !! 

We actually need small defenders rather than medium. 

Got to say the highlights are about half pace. Not much pressure.

Jesus 58er.

He's a player I liked the look of off the half back line. Nothing more. I added a profile for people to read up on him if you wish. All highlights, eastern states more so, are below average this year for the obvious.

Richmond liked him at 29, we move on and now welcome Howes to the fold who the dees probably preferred anyway.

Taylor said Howes has played half back and could be his best position but then said he will play on the wing. We have Baker and Rosman on the wing so I'd play Howes off half back.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
