Can’t wait to hear Sarah Jones ask Will Ashcroft if he’s excited to be joining his father’s old club.

    And Lions Expert Jonathan Boofhead on hand to give his thoughts?

    For those who haven't been following, though we have 4 picks listed, we only have two senior list spots available since we gave Hibberd and Melksham another year. This means we will only be using two picks in this draft.

    Lots of media discussion around us trying to trade our future first round picks, and potentially pick 13 too, to get into the top 5 in this draft tonight. Nothing has come of it yet, and I doubt it will, but the clubs been aggressive in trying to get high end talent in. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds!

    I cannot believe that pick 4 and 22 are worth 3 first round picks to pick 2 untried players with potential?

    Conversation about the first day of the 2022 AFL National Draft. Who will be No 1? Who will the Demons select? Will draft picks change hands and what impact would any such trades have on our selections?D3B2FE79-B75E-4A10-AD9F-DEF77AB84049.jpeg

    Well, it should get interesting when they reach Pick 63 because both Hawthorn and Richmond are shown above as holders of this coveted selection.

    Expect feathers to fly!

    Today I’m relaxed.  Years ago this was our bright light and our search for a glimmer of hope.  But we have our premiership 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆and we have confidence in JT and team to make the right moves.

    🤣🤣Love it.  Maybe given all the sudoku numbers flying around after trade and pick swaps, it got too confusing.

    If we get 4 and 22 what will we do with 37? Trade it on? It might be offered as well to seal the deal.

    Don't think Essendon can take it, as they originally owned 37 - traded to us for Weid

    Would you mind doing me a favour with the article please, Andy.

    For those that can read it it's an article written around these figures. Top ten statistically is far more valuable than the next tier.

    What pick was Bowey again? 17? 😁

    21. That was an odd draft though as there were so many academy and father son picks that the first round lasted until pick 26!

    Yes maybe they should then compare 11-20 with 21-30 etc. … I think the outcomes are obviously better for lower picks.

    37 was originally the Swans pick but given to the Bombers in the Francis trade.

    Interestingly the trades between Swans, Bombers and us were all done separately, I.e. not part of a 1 x 3-way transaction. Not sure if that means we can trade it back to them or not though.

    Can't wait to hear Nat Edwards (?) Tuomey and Shifter drone on and on and on, long after the next pick is in.

    Can't wait to see each club's recruiters looking bored/awkward when the camera sits on them long after they've submitted their pick. We then get to listen to the above for 5 more minutes while the whiz bang technology catches up. Fair dinkum - write the player's name on a piece of paper, wrap it around a rock and chuck it at the panel. It would be quicker and at least entertaining!

    I've looked at the Foxtel time slot - TWO HOURS for the first round of the draft!

    They included it. I couldn't fit it in one pic.  As expected.

    If headings are correct, you are comparing 10 higher picks to 5 lower picks. If that's the case there not a big discrepancy at all. Different story if it should read  PICKS 21-30

    So hope we trade with Essendon, and you only need to watch up until pick 5.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
