None of Jefferson, Allan or George are invited to the draft night at Marvel according to Fox Sports website (who would know).

13 players invited Ashcroft, Cadman, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Tstatas Phillipou, Humphrey, MacKenzie, Ginbey, Clark, Busslinger. Hollands, Fletcher. That’s say to me none of them are top 10 for the obligatory top 10 photo.

    Adonski saying we have offered Bombers 3 firsts for 4 & 22.

    Assume it’s Phillipou, what are your thoughts?

    Then maybe 37 and 22 for 19 from GWS.

    If we rate him that high you would think its something like 4 and 22 for 13 and like 2 x 12-18 picks next year. Lets assume we win the flag in 2023 therefore 2022 18 and 2023 22 are much the muchness and probably moreso attractive for teams being next years draft highly rated. So its 13 and likely a 2023 pick 12-17 for this years 4. The risk that MFC or Freo bomb next year is low so I continue to back JT and Lamb being aggressive when they know who they rate and want.

    If they want Hollands and gave us 10 for 13 and a F2 or 37, they would still get Hollands at 13 and the other pick in the deal would be a freebie.

    From Marc McGowan at the Age. Marc speculates that we could trade w/ Dogs to get ahead of Eagles for Allan:

    We must have half a dozen first round picks according to all these trades were supposedly involved in

    Yeah, but none of them are in the top 10 it seems

    Grabbing one of the highly touted mids while retaining 13 for one of Jeffer or JaKob would be ideal 

    How would that play out? No way we're able to flip two late future firsts for a top 10 pick.

    I like this idea of a top 5 pick and a start of second round early 20s pick for our three firsts.

    We'll need to wait another 24 hours for that then I guess

    More so about the stars aligning, I.e Allan getting through to 13, and grabbing GWS' pick 19 hoping one of Jeffer or Ryan remained

    I saw Cal say somewhere earlier that one of the players plays like Weightman / Papley. Does anyone know who he was talking about, please?

    Another small x factor forward to complement Kozzy would be very high on my list.

    Think I read Charlie Clarke compared to him 

    Problem is we already have a surplus of small fwds at vfl level

    None of them are good enough though. There's a reason we took Kozzy in the first round.

    Got some mail it’s Humphrey, but not long to wait now, either way.

    Not sure Hollands will still be around if Blues swap picks.

    It’s still likely to have 

    1- GWS :Cadman 

    2- Lions (f/son) Ashcroft 

    3- Kangas : Sheezel 

    4- Kangas : Wardlaw 

    5- Bombers : Tsatas

    6- Suns: Ginbey

    7 - Hawks : Phillipou 

    8- Cats: Clark

    9- Eagles: Busslinger 

    10- Saints: Mckenzie 

    11- Carlton: Humphrey

    12- Bulldogs: Hollands

    13 - Eagles: Allan

    14- Dees… leaves us with a likely Hewitt or Jefferson choice.

    (we should bid on Davey or Fletcher if no other clubs have pushed that button) . 

    I’d prefer Phillipou, Hollands or Allan but I’m thinking they’ll definitely be gone by our pick.   

    The media have us in line for pick swaps  I love our aggressive approach and creative look at the draft process.  If we tempted the Bombers, Tsatas would be a huge win even if we gave up 2-3 picks to land him. 

    Pick swaps to grab 19-22? … I’d see us definitely looking at Brayden George or Max Gruzewski at this pick. Either would be great additions although we’d have to wait on George until 2024.  Dees seemed to be rumoured to be looking at Jakob Ryan as a speedy rebounding half back.  Others at this pick would be Jaiden Major or Jakob Konstanty if available.  

    Pick 37 may be part of pick swaps or unused. If it sits “as is”, then with pick 37 we’d have a look at Harry Lemmey (ruck) or running Mids like Jaxon Binns, Harvey Gallagher or Billy Dowling.  Each represent very good outside run and skill.  Caleb Mitchell from the Bushrangers is my smokie selection.

    • 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?
