Agree. JT is a draft strategy zen master.  Gets us two great youngsters and then back into 2022 for future drafting strategy and moves. He just nailed it AGAIN. 

  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Hello 2022 Third & Fourth Round Selections

Posted in another thread, but will repeat here.

2022 picks.

Round 1 - 0 picks (Traded to Crows)

Round 2 - 1 pick (Demons)

Round 3 - 2 picks (Demons, Crows)

Round 4 - 2 picks (Demons, Saints)

I’m still trying to get my head around the logic of giving up an early round 3 pick for a future mid round 3 pick… further Arlo Draper and Zac Taylor who were both sliders were still available. 

Because we rated the flexibility of having an open list position higher than we rated them.

We went in with a 'fill needs' rather than 'best available' mindset.  The club probably figured we had their skill sets covered and preferred to bring in a future 3rd round pick instead of drafting either.  The club would already be planning next year's trade/draft so see value in an extra pick or two in 2022.

That doesn't mean the club didn't rate them just not for us at this time.

Stranger things have happened but I don’t think anyone is predicting the Crows to play finals so it’s a matter of moving 41 to probably 40-46. 41 in one of the most compromised drafts of all time to a similar pick in hopefully a normal draft year with bonus extra players who snuck through.

The thing I don’t like is the lack of list flexibility that we go in to the draft with. We could’ve left one or more of Baker, M Brown, Majak, Rosman, Bedford etc open to re rookie them and had that extra list spot.

But the footy department have consistently valued locking in our own guys, evaluating the depth of the draft early and it’s hard to argue with the results.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
