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: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
