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 ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
