We all Remember the days when the draft was our premiership. To have us win a premiership in 2021, with real hope for a second, and looking at a top ten, possibly top 5 pick coming back is better than Xmas. I feel like I’m living like a unicorn 😜

I will be watching the game today, reading 2023 phantom drafts, and laughing at those who thought they were the unicorn. 
 

Bring it on… 

Yep, and we gave up pick 3 to get it. 
 

Jacko really is a distant memory for many. 
 

Soory Demonstrative, I meant to quote Agent99

    Just think of the possibility that we win a flag and flagmantle win the wooden spoon!

    When has the premiers ever gotten the number one draft pick?

    omg! That is mind blowing.

    hahahahaha!

    Closest I can think of would be a couple of Sydney academy picks when they were top of the ladder. Heeney (defaulted to 18) Mills (taken at 3, before Oliver).

    It sure worked our well for the Swans so here's hoping it keeps us growling along nicely.

    Harley Reid come on down!

    Or.... we swap pick 1 for three first rounders, as many reports have mentioned. Imagine the premiers having 4 first rounders!

    Wishful thinking!

    Definitely wishful thinking. Fremantle could miss the 8 but definitely won't be bottom. Still, whichever way you look at it Melbourne are well-positioned for the 2023 draft. What does [censored] me off though is all the compromises to the draft from father-son and academy selections.

    I reckon today will tell us where they’re going this year.

    50/50 game on the road against a side that’s hot off the showdown.

    Start 1-3 and they’re going to have to go on a couple of 3-4 game winning streaks if they hope to make finals.

    first decent forward connection I've seen from Freo this season. maybe they have turned the corner?

    Who'd have thought we would be doing to a team what Collingwood did to us for all those years. Dawes Neeld Lumumba Howe Kennedy. On and on. Freo have a way to go but it's getting there. Hogan Jackson hopefully Jefferson and two mega stars in this years draft care of them.
    Although to be fair we can't really take the credit for it like Collingwood did. Peter Bell has to take all the credit.

    We could easily end up with something close to pick 3 this year+ Jefferson (2022 #13)  + 2023 #23 to #26!

    Reckon Freo had pencilled in being 6/0 or 5/1 in the first part of the season.  They won't get even close.  Then the tough draw starts!!

    Happy days!!🙃

    Not wrong. For the most part they've all been thoroughly enjoyable too!

    Despite the conventional wisdom on here Jackson was pretty good from what I saw of that Q...a nice tap to advantage and a couple of good grabs. Happy to see Freo getting smashed but look with both eyes people.

    What have they done to Dog?

    Looks half the player he was with us

    And he wasn’t that great with us. Played some exciting minutes and quarters showing great promise in what will be a historically great MFC team. 
     

    He ain’t a Pickett, Daicos, Serong, Curnow, Gawn, etc. 

     

    I’m glad we didn’t pay out of our pocket to keep him. It looks as tho the trade will work in Our favour. Taylor will ensure we do!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
