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!!

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
