There’s still a lot of water to flow under the draft bridge but for the Demon recruiters, there’s one more selection to come*.

I don't quite understand why we have three picks left. We only have two vacancies on our list of which Kade Chandler's upgrade will take up pick 73. Pick 38 will be used tonight and that should be it.

78 will be a pass I would assume

We don't need to use all the picks we have.  We simply 'pass' when that number comes up.

We could have one more senior player and one less A-rookie next year if we wanted to use a later pick or one we trade in.

Good thing would be for Giants to nominate Alwyn Davey and make Bombers match and then trade the pick to us.

Why? Just to make them pay a bit?

Couldn't we just receive the pick and bid on Alwyn ourselves? I would be pretty happy to receive him if they didn't match anyway

So you agree with me. Make Bombers pay and lose 22.

I don’t think we would want Davey at all given other targets.

Davey was touted as a very good small forward and Kozzie wants to go then he will in 12 months be ready to play, so if we get the pick there is no reason to not make a bid.

If we knew Kossie was going we would have targeted Konstanty

this is how i view our list, the two orange spots are interchangable between a cat a or a senior player, thats why they asign us both those picks in the 70s, because theoretically we could take someone there, however due to the position of the pick its more likely to be 1-2 A rookies and and 2-1 open train on spot/msd carryover

edit: i had already moved chandler to the senior list in this clipping but it doesnt change the facts

Looking at our list it I think our needs are ruck, medium defenders, small/medium forwards and perhaps a key back to future proof life beyond May.

Ruck: Barnett, Foster, Verrall, Knobel, Northam and Madden (would probably put a line through the last two).

Medium defenders: Cowan, Ryan, Gilbey, Teal

Small/medium forwards: George, Clarke, Burgiel and Hotton (both mid/fwds), Long

Key back: Hayes, Van Es, Davies

Obviously not an extensive list but some of the more well known/talked about prospects.

Be interesting to see what sort of player we will prioritise for the national then positionally fill at the Rookie. No doubt there will be other names in the mix with most likely some smokies most haven't heard of.

Man this trade period has really not gone the way we wanted 

It might pay off next year. And the returns could be higher than waiting 4 years for a young ruck

Think that’s the last of the ‘wow we can’t believe he slipped through to us’ names I was hoping for. Into the ‘in JT we trust’ names now 

Ollie Hotton still there.

Reckon he now gets to Carlton at pick 32..

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
