It’s going to be a boring to watch but I’m still looking forward to it. Excited to see who’s the lucky draftee is that gets to join our young and talented list. 

How things have changed these past few years. The Grand Final is now our GF, not draft day.

    That is what I said in point 3) of the post you quoted but curiously deleted it from the quoted post 🤔  

    The deleted part of my post is below.

    There are many permutations of pick swaps for us and other clubs and yeah giving up pick 17 for two in the low 20's is one. 

    Honestly didn't see any point 3 when I quoted you. At the very least I didn't intentionally delete it.

    You know we won the flag when I only just realised it's draft night because Kayo popped up with a reminder on my phone.

    What a time to be alive!

    Horne-Francis looked the most unimpressed person to be taken at Number 1 in the draft I think I have ever seen.

    On the AFL website they have done the top 10

    Sorry I misread it. They were saying will they go as predicted and listed club and player.

    Mac Andrew to the Gold Coast. Bad luck for the kid. From a selfish perspective increases the chances of him coming home to us after 2 years or when the suns are disbanded

    Nothing surer. He will be in Melbourne (city) in 3 years.

    Thought the same MadAsHell - Seriously death by a thousand lashes would be welcomed rather than watching this waffling dribble.

    If this is the best night of the year for Cal Twomey then I am intrigued to know what a bad night for him could look like.......

    Not sure he isn't happy, I just fink he might be a foody player first and fourmost.

    Blake Howes looks a pretty safe pick as predicted on the phantoms.  Any one got any late mail as to our first choice? 

    All depends what the Giants do with their next pick.

    Twomey has the first 10 spot on. Would be a hell of a lot quicker and better if they just let him run through his selections as the draft.

    Given how many kids we had out there, the grand final was not that far off our draft day!

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
