Traded out 43 for a third next year

Guess we don’t want anyone other than woewodin, otherwise it doesn’t make much sense, to get better than 43 next year crows going to need to be bottom 4 again

For most of the early part of last night’s first round of the draft, things were going as planned with the exception of some brief disruptions when a couple of the pick trades were announced. The surp

Looks like Rooey, Howey and Woey.  Goody should be happy.

You're getting too caught up in the number of the picks. We will take Woewodin as our last selection (rightly or wrongly). So we either use 51 on Woewodin and be done for the night, or we ga

The whole 'can't trade multiple future picks' is to stop a team trading their future away. Not sure how the AFL thought that was an issue with us

Wasn’t for that.

it was for swapping picks we’ve already swapped with the crows. Attempt to stop academy bidding nonsense

Do we know what the trade was? Were we using pick 39 along with another pick to move up to 35? 

Or were we just trying to get 35 to go with 39?

No idea, but my guess is 

36 and the Crows future 3rd 

For 39 and 43

Then we ended up just doing the second half of that.
 

We swapped 36 and 39 with the Crows during trade week so that was banned. 

We only planned 3 picks so unless we loved Soligo or the guys who went 37, 38 I can’t imagine we would’ve taken 2 picks there

Something to do with the Filth?

We could have taken Williams with the pick we traded, giving us a Hawkins type who can ruck a bit as well as key forward.

Andy M-W looking likely rookie and If no one picks Taj he could then be another. Are we looking at a ruck forward type in maybe Caminitti, or however you spell his name?

Interesting to see the plan.

If  you ask me, Demonstone, I reckon we just ran away with the chockie biscuits from these two draft rounds. JvR and BH were quite literally what we needed for our list - and were two young blokes so very close to the best available across both rounds.

DeeSpencer pointed out it's because we were trying to trade 36 and 39, which we'd traded with Adelaide in the trade period. Can't retrade the same picks to the same team

Bowie to Howey to Woey to Rooey. Goal!

...but, it was Gorney who cleared from the centre, as well.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
