    ND4 still on but the Reid deal is dead now.

    All good. Chucking a bonafide young talent into this team will be fantastic. 

    They may dangle ND4 to get a star KPF and I would encourage that but it would have to be a game changer. McKay after a medical on his shoulders, Naughton after a medical on his knees, but I am naming those two without knowing what talent is there in U/18s.

    true. but WC could have split pick 1 and got a couple of picks. 

    do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

    The reason for splitting picks was probably only for Reid.

    They want Curtin and will take him at 2, as what could they split 2 for and still get him.

    First week of the year that the deathriders can celebrate knowing Pick 6 to 9 are off the table finally. Pick 4 or 5 Locked in! Shame it had to be Port doing the winning though :laugh:

    All depends on the draft intel clubs have.

    We could send 4 and 15 to them for 2 and jump the Hawks to get Duursma.

    1. North - Reid

    2. Melb - Duursma

    3. Hawks - Watson

    4. WC - Curtin

    Hawks were supposedly fans of Watson before crushing on Duursma recently.

    Reid would definitely choose us before North if it was up to him to decide his destination.

    Even Hawthorn looks more promising in terms of list development.

    But that's not how the system works and North would be crazy not to take him as the number one pick.

    LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Thomas, Reid, George, Larkey and more to come, with Clarkson, they won’t be cellar dwellers much longer.

    Depends how much we want Duursma and if Curtin can convince Hawks he will go home in 2 years.

    Have loved the deathride but I'm glad it ends next week.

    I've really enjoyed having a team to barrack against this year. Meant I had 2 games of genuine interest each week.

    I would love if we trade in a future first again this year. Perhaps some deal with Essendon. How much fun would it be cheering on the bombers to finish in the bottom 4?

    Oh I've enjoyed it very much. I'm just tired of Freo.

    Bring on a new team as you said, Essendon will do. We can make fun of Dodoro every week!

    Well - it’s now 4 or 5 depending on whether the Hawks beat Freo and the Suns overcome North. 

    Both games are on in the early afternoon of next Saturday which automatically becomes the most intriguing part of the season’s final round.

    If we can’t get Reid, then wouldn’t bother trading up for pick 2. None of the other top picks seem like they could be that absolute game breaker mid forward type. Duursma perhaps, but less likely as he was disappointing in the midfield this year and is less competitive inside. We’d be better off taking multiple first rounders to draft or trading them. 

    A real shame, as a Reid/Petracca combo was a tantalizing fantasy!

    good thing is the sun's and flogmantle's games are both being played at same time and early.

    so, by 4:30pm on saturday we will know if we've got pick 4 or 5

    may the footy gods shine on us.

    Surely North aren't going to hand back pick 1 to West Coast by winning an absolutely meaningless game against the Suns in Hobart, where most of their membership base won't even be at the game to enjoy the win.

    You'd imagine Gold Coast will leapfrog Freo on the ladder and we'll get pick 4 (before it balloons out with all the compromises)

    With the Demons getting either draft pick 4 or 5 (thanks Freo!) I would be happy to recruit one of the nine following talented young players in this year's 2023 AFL National Draft.

    1) Nate Caddy
    Northern Knights/Vic Metro
    FWD/MID, 192cm, 91kg

    2) Zane Duursma
    Gippsland Power/Vic Country
    FWD/MID, 189cm, 79kg

    3) Nick Watson
    Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro
    FWD, 170cm, 66kg

    4) Connor O'Sullivan
    Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country
    DEF/FWD, 198cm, 92kg

    5) Darcy Wilson
    Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country
    MID, 185cm, 73kg

    6) Ollie Murphy
    Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
    DEF, 200cm, 85kg

    7) George Stevens
    GWV Rebels/Vic Country
    MID/DEF, 189cm, 84kg

    8) Colby McKercher
    Tasmania Devils/Allies
    MID, 181cm, 73kg

    9) Ryley Sanders
    Sandringham Dragons/Allies (originally from Tasmania)
    MID, 186cm, 85kg

     

    This is is no particular order though as I have faith in Jason Taylor and the MFC recruiting team. 🙏

    Agreed. 

    The Suns pick is going to be hotly contested but I'd be looking at any other options to upgrade our picks as I can’t see us taking many picks at the draft.

    I hope we draft The Wizard, him and Kozzie in the same forward line would be a problem.

    The unexpected nose dive by the dogs might move them into pole position for the suns pick. I expect them to get beat by the Cats this weekend and probably end up with pick 8 and Brisbanes first round pick. They have a father/son around pick 10.

    I don't follow junior footy Supreme D so can you tell me how good/promising the tall kid , Ollie Murphy, is?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
