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.

My Casey team is missing a half back flanker. Hopefully Taylor will target it.

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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
