A notible absent name from this list is our NGA prospect Finn Emile-Brennan. Tipping he well make it past pick 40 and therefore free to us should we choose.

Point is that is he considered draftable by AFL clubs? You only get invited to these combines if a certain number of clubs are interested.

Correct and entirely possible he isn't rated.


Thanks WJ, what picks do we currently have?

Thanks Nascent as it stands that gives us four of those top 65 picks and if Jacko pulls the pin our hand should improve dramatically just hoping that we go after a tall forward and half decent ruckman.

As it stands we have picks 34, 40 (from adelaide), 52, 64 and 70. 

I doubt we will use picks 54, 64 and 70. It will be interesting to see what picks we get for Jackson and how we land Grundy.

See Cadman had yet another very good result up forward kicking the most goals (3) in the nail biter under 18 National Championship.

Just in case people are wondering why there hasn’t been much in the news about the AFL Draft Combine, it’s because the first two days were taken up with interviews and medicals. The actual athletic testing is today.

Watch: Draft bolter’s stunning act after collapse

Dan Batten of the Herald Sun reports on a “stunning moment of sportsmanship”  from draft hopeful Max Gruzewski who sacrificed  his own 2km time trial at the Draft Combine to come to the aid of Vic Metro’s Lewis Hayes after he fell at the finish line.

Gruzewski is a key position tall who can play both back and forward and the word is that Demon recruiters have spoken with him during the season.


That kid falling over prior to the line is one of the most horrible things I've seen. Guessing he is 17? Should be enough to make us all reevaluate how we speak about young people in this forum.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
