AFLW Draft 2022

Dees_In_October
in AFLW Melbourne Demons

A long wait for the Dees to get in on the action with picks 44 (24), 49 (27), 72 (39), 79 (43).

But some good news from the first rounds with a few Casey players picked up:

22. Hawthorn - Lucy Wales (Casey Demons)

32. Essendon - Stephanie Wales (Casey Demons)

 

That was some good predicting on the Wales twins by you, @Meggs

    Funny, I just quoted your post in the VFLW thread.  Yes, expecting the Wales twins will thrive at their respective AFLW teams.  Looking forward to meeting them against the Dees.

    Welcome back! Has been going great guns at Casey. Didn't realise she was quite so young either.

    Yeh, only 19.  Lots of upside, strong and confident.

    The Dees are going with the devils they know, in a good way. Definitely some handy back-up and one that will stand up physically to AFLW.

    While we wait for the next pick, another Casey Demon selected.

    This time it's Charlotte Blair, who put together some good games after coming up from the NAB league. She goes to Collingwood at #56.

    It's not an AFLW draft without a bit of cross-code action. Interesting pick, one for the future.

    It's a pass for the last pick.

    To re-cap, that brings the list to 29:

    23 existing, Wilson (Carlton), Ivey (Geelong), Mackin (rookie), Chaplin (pick 44), Johnson (pick 49), Gall (pick 72).

    Not counted are Colvin and Watt, both on the inactive list.

     

    Time will tell, but as of tonight we can say we've picked some future champions of the mighty Dees!

    Gee, hope this is true, she is uncanny around goals.  

    Does she replace Gaby Colvin who will miss the entire season 7 due to an ACL?

    Duffy is a tough competitor. Will be a very handy pick-up if we do bring her in

    I just see her as s brand new recruit.

    If we're able to pull this off this will be a huge get for us! Just adds further fire power alongside Harris.

    Confirmed! List complete and a bit of a steal I think to finish it off. Duffy at Harris's feet is a nice prospect.

    Great pick up

    the team needed more tats 

    Particularly with Cunningham gone! 
     

    Duffy will make us instantly better. Pretty much a top ten quality pick for nothing. Yay

    Some very exciting players coming in, I was sad to see Scotty and Parry go but overall we haven’t been pilfered by the expansion teams the way many others have, we’ve kept the core of our group together and added some quality.
     

    Duffy is a huge get! Small forwards were our weakness the last few seasons. 


    Losing Colvin is the only big downside this year as she was stellar last season. Hopefully Browny or Wilson as the new recruit can step up. 

    23 existing, Wilson (Carlton), Ivey (Geelong), Mackin (rookie), Chaplin (pick 44), Johnson (pick 49), Gall (pick 72), Duffy.

    Out: Scott, Parry, Petrevski, Magee, Tarrant, Simmons

    Edit: I missed that Tarrant had left, that hurts particularly with Colvin’s injury as she had played some decent footy swinging back. Excited for the season ahead, go Dees!

    This has been an amazing trade / draft period for the club. To keep the core of this list together when so many other teams have been significantly affected is huge. Colvin is a big loss, but we have 3 clear best 21 players coming in to replace her. Well done to all involved. If we can keep our better players on the field, another big year awaits.

    Sabreena Duffy is a very good player. A big plus to have got her.

    Once again we are aiming for the top end of the ladder. 

    All too much made of this years draft, full of a lot of 17 year olds who won't play because of when the season is now played i.e. end of year 12 for them.  And with 4 new teams the talent is spread extremely thin.  Worse is that all the selections were compromised by the priority picks handed out.  So for MFC picking up experienced players, while retaining the existing list largely was exactly the right strategy. 

    Apart from Gall, the others are ready to play this year, and we know what they can do. 

    Both Chaplin and Johnston can hopefully fill the hole created by the loss of Colvin ( big ask I know).  The addition of Duffy is another huge positive.  Goal smart and strong, she is what we have been missing up front, and once again is ready to go this season.

    Us and Adelaide (Unfortunately) have done well in retaining our lists compared to others.  Which says a lot about our respective cultures.  What is to be seen is how they design eh home and away fixtures and who it favour.  I imagines the expansion teams will be playing each other primarily.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
