I wouldn’t sleep on his Tassie midfield running mate in McKercher either. One of the classiest midfielders in this years group.

I wouldn't draft a Tasmanian, assuming that the league will make all Tasmanian's UFA's or similar before the Devils enter the comp.

 

The player some are suggesting will be the player of the 2022 draft is Bailey Humphrey, the same player JT tried to trade up for.

2023 AFL Draft Rankings: May Edition

Thanks WJ I am really looking forward to this years draft and hope that we top up the list, definitely need two quality mids, a tall defender or possibly a young tall, plus Kynan Brown. Prefer that we don’t trade out our crop of picks for 1 - 2 players.!!


Definitely still Darcy Wilson as our main target imv.  Ryley Sanders is another youngster who would add a nice mix to our future midfield (but with a Tassie team joining in 3-4 years, clubs may be reluctant to pick him up). Cooper Simpson is the other young kid who should be closely considered by the Dees.

Why do you think Darcy Wilson is Pur main target? Just a feel or do you know something? 

 

According to the AFL website. These are our NGA prospects this year. Anyone know anything about them?

Turner is probably our best prospect

AFL ACADEMY V CARLTON VFL team 

scouting notes

#11 Orlando Turner (Norwood/Northern Territory)
16/05/2005 | 176cm | 67kg | Small Forward/Wing

The sole Northern Territory representative in the Academy ended the day as his side’s sole multiple goal kicker, taking his opportunities in the third quarter to help strengthen the Academy lead. Whilst Turner started as a small forward, it was a move to the wing in the second half that saw him really work into the game. He still applied the same level of pressure and intercepted a few Carlton forays in the front half, but also increased his production and damage with more opportunities in space. Both of Turner’s goals came from set shots; one after marking an attempted switch kick, and the other after going in for the ball and copping high contact. He could even have had a couple of more goals if he held a bit more composure on the run.

Tasmania v Northern Territory Academy:

Northern Territory 

#1 Orlando Turner

After representing Australia with the National Academy last week, Turner proved a handy addition for the Northern Territory and finished as his side’s lone multiple goalkicker. Turner, who usually plies his trade with Norwood in the SANFL, was electric across half-forward and also enjoyed stints in midfield. Among his highlight reel was a goal from the centre square, which ran about 20 metres over the back and through the big sticks. That moment was indicative of the forward’s willingness to move the ball on quickly, and he seemed to thrive on every opportunity to get creative or take opponents on in the attacking half. A true bright spark.

It’s odd that someone with multiple goals in these games hasn’t had any media attention. Let’s see how the champs go.

Great name, like one you'd see in an NFL/NBA draft!

Sound like he has the smarts and a reasonable kick.

Not enough Alonzo’s in the AFL. Takes a hanger on the wing, and the members rise as one ‘Lonzooooooooooo!’

ESPN's 2023 AFL Draft power rankings for June.

Click for Bio, will just list each player 

1. Harley Reid (previous: 1) Plays like: Dustin Martin
2. Nate Caddy (7) Plays like: Charlie Curnow
3. Zane Duursma (4) Plays like: Connor Rozee
4. Jed Walter (5) Plays like: Max King (SUNS Academy/Allies)
5. Nick Watson (3) Plays like: Izak Rankine
6. Colby McKercher (8) Plays like: Zach Merrett
7. Mitchell Edwards (12) Plays like: Tim English
8. Daniel Curtin (6) Plays like: James Sicily
9. Ashton Moir (2) Plays like: Jack Lukosius
10. Ryley Sanders (15) Plays like: Brad Crouch

18. Will Patton (10) Plays like: Alex Pearce
19. Will McCabe (new entry) Plays like: Harry Himmelberg (F/S Hawthorn)
20. Logan Morris (new entry) Plays like: Nick Larkey

interestingly, if gc17 make finals this year they can only take two academy players if they're nominated inside the top 40

some thought that they preference read over rogers if that eventuates

imv this seems like a really weak draft, understanding we're many months out and champs are just about to kick off, but not hearing the same excitement and conviction about top 10 prospects as we have in previous years outside of Reid, listening to this weeks gettable podcast twomey has sold me on us playing a part in trading for pick 1 but not in the way we'd expect, using out first round picks to move for experienced senior players ie a barrass/allen or a larkey/lewis/mckay or a mking who can fill a need immediately and help get pick 1 from the eagles to elsewhere and load them up with multiple first round selections. 

The other option which appeals to me would be to move our picks back to next year as we also don't have as many obvious contracted exits this seaosn and should we pick up ky brown as expected and now Orlando turner being on the radar too we'd only be required to make one open pick. whereas next year we seem to have more decisions to make given our current fringe/young mob would be 3-4 year players by then and our tall veterans an extra year older and ooc. 

As we know JT and lamby are always cooking up something nice behind the scenes

Isn't McKay from North a RFA? He'd be a nice get (for no loss of picks), wonder if we've had a word with his or HH's managers

Would like our 1st pick used, then trade our other first rounder with Freo's 2nd to move up so that we don't need to use them on K Brown, assuming he's seen in the top 30. 

Will be v interesting to see what JT and Lamby can do with what we have

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
