    Just watched the "Gettable" podcast.

    In terms of the Dees 1st pick, Cal said we would wait to see who was left out of:

    Curtin / Sanders / Watson.

    He also said we would have an eye on Caddy (as he is a forward) and Windsor (who he described as the "flyer").

    Also, Cal thought pick 1 would be traded to North. This would mean WC would be taking Curtin, which would leave us with Sanders or Watson. That would be a great result at our first pick, and I would expect it to be Sanders.

    Didn’t mention Leake, in regards to our first pick

    In all I’ve taken in (mostly from Cal Twomey and the like) we seem to be sitting in the bottom of the first two batches. 
    top 6 of Reid duursma and mcKercher, curtin watson and sanders 

    then next grouping is caddy Leake o Sullivan Windsor and Wilson. 
     

    If all is out of our control and we walk away with Sanders and Wilson then we’ve done alright. Nothing wrong with either pick and both should work out fine. But to me it just feels too vanilla (off topic:very underrated flavour) 

    I just have the feeling sanders isn’t a good Melbourne fit and will get the James Jordan treatment of waiting for something to go wrong with our all star centre square squad, none of which are close to finished. 
     

    If there isn’t a slider presented to us then personally I’d prefer Leake or O Sullivan at 6. Might be a stretch but I see both as better needs picks and would rather choose for list balance than for top end talent.

    Feel like there ain’t no Bailey Humphrey at pick 6 in this draft unfortunately

    I think we wait and see who slips through to our first pick. We could be pleasantly surprised. If not, we still have options. We should be fine at 6, and I'm sure we had a good plan when we traded up to 11.

    Adelaide are the club showing most interest to Darcy Wilson and could grab him at pick 10.

    Any word on where O'Sullivan might land dazzle? I'm hoping he's there for us at pick 11.

    Seems a bit of a reach at 10.

    It's quite amazing how much 'filler' time they do with that gettable show.

    Non-stop talking all year round....

    Yeah it’s good this time of year though. Best source of accurate information about the draft.

    On the draft night when it comes to our pick 11, can we swap it for someone elses future pick. And could we for instance at our turn, swap our pick 11 plus our future 1st or 2nd to say Hawthorn for their future 1st?

    Im not asking is it good value, I merely want to know if it is allowed.

    Yep, providing all of that happens before the earliest current selection being utilised has been utilised.

    6 & 11, for me , like to see any two of Curtin, Sanders, Leake, O’Sullivan, (Darcy) Wilson, Windsor or Murphy.  

    I’m swaying towards Schoenmacher as pick 11 if we take a mid with pick 6 and O’Sullivan is off the board. 
    194 not considered KPD but looks to me like one who has some brutality about how he goes about it and love that left foot

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
