2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

in Melbourne Demons

Remember this time last year when a lot of people on here were suggesting we make trades around getting future picks because "Next year's draft is apparently meant to be loaded" and now it's suddenly a 'shallow' draft and later picks are trash? 😆

    From media reports, looks like 

    1-Eagles  Harley Reid

    2- Suns (Academy match)  Jed Walter

    3-Kangas  Coby Mckercher 

    4- Kangas (Mckay gift compensation 🤬) Daniel Curtin

    5- Hawks  Zane Duursma 

    6- Bulldogs (trade from Suns) Ryley Sanders 

    7- Dees … options left would be … bid on Ethan Read (Suns to match) … then choice of Caddy, Watson, Wilson or O’Sullivan.  Right now I’d be picking Darcy Wilson as a running creative goalkicking mid.  
     

    Love to see how we can grab that Suns pick. 

    Very happy with Windsor. Would have grabbed Darcy Wilson ahead of the Kolt but can see why JT opted for the Kolt.  Got something about him.  Just needs the year to develop his footy more.  
     

    Class of 23 is very strong.  Class of 24 is as good or better in my view.

    Good list.

    I’d definitely be recommending these guys at later 2nd/3rd BUY orders … Hardeman at 30 (steal) , Freijah at 32 (bargain) George Stevens at 39 (slider) and Archie Roberts at 47 (call his number quickly). 

    Joel Freijah having an excellent year at the dogs. Pick 45 last year !! 29 possessions v Kangas in his 11th game. Was tipped to be top 15 at start of 2023 however somehow dropped after a solid 2023.  Was strange that he was overlooked all the way until picked at 45. Recruiters must have lost his draft notes 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Logan Morris is a very special player imv … best available key forward in the draft  

    playing style?  Think Nick Larkey type 

    Good lead  Good mark  Good kick  Solidly built 

    Dees /JT unfortunately are unlikely to consider given we have JVR Jefferson and converting Petty to a key forward.  If we’d not picked Jefferson last year, I’d be putting Morris on the top 6-7 players on JTs list for the 2023 draft

    No surprise at all to see Logan Morris play well in today’s GF for Lions.  In last years under 18s, I thought he showed talent as a natural forward.  Good mark.  Good kick.  Bit of natural aggression.  Oh well!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
