The Freo or Adelaide games are the only chance, but they'll want pick 1, so no chance really.

Not sure the Eagles read your post.

One kick, to a side at home, playing for finals.

    Simpson would have been [censored] himself in the final quarter.

    When our initial correspondence occurred, Essendon were leading easily.

    Essendon are a hopeless, irrelevant football club, living off past triumphs. 😉

    But they don’t want the flag, they want the 1st pick, don’t they?

    Why trade a potential gem KPP to get a mid? Computer says no, I don't care how good Reid is.

    Reid is a freak!

    So you wouldn't go after Reid, mate? And if you would, what would you be prepared to part with?


    I would, I’m just nervous that my uneducated opinion is probably wrong.

    I’d think pick 4 & 7/8 would do it. Thinking we’d get 7/8 from GC for a collection of 2nd rounders. I think giving up much more might be a bridge too far.

    Fair enough mate. I'll back JT in. Has he had a miss with a mid?

    Really need the Tigers to get back to winning. GWS have their pick and prefer to get country Vic kids. 

    Right now they have ND6 and ND12.

    Very close to ND4 and ND15…

    Laurie is a half forward to be fair and hasn't had a shot quite yet.

    I agree with you about Laurie. He played the 1st game this year, struggled and was immediately dropped. I think once you've made the team you should be given 2, preferably 3, games to try to establish yourself. To the Club's credit they at least gave Woewodin a decent run at it (3 games).

    Reid looks to be a beautiful mover and is clearly very skilled. The fend offs are exceptional and the player he looks like most is Jai Newcombe. But I don't think Reid will be as big and strong as Petracca, Wines or Martin and he does not look to have the same leap as Petracca.

    I have to say, I like the look of Zane Duursma, who looks a protype AFL footballer. He is bigger and looks to have more running and leaping ability than Reid. If the cost to push up the draft order to get Reid is significant, I would prefer we use or picks to trade or take several players.

    His leap is fine - took a pretty fair one grab hanger playing for Essendon reserves today.

    IMV, he probably won't make it at the MFC, but we'll see.

    He's good enough, but he might want more opportunities elsewhere. Contracted for next year so hope he sticks around.

    I was huge on Laurie's draft highlights and super-excited when we landed him (proving once again that I have no idea), but it should be noted as part of this discussion that it was likely Taylor had Holmes and Bowey biroed in before a late blindside, and that assessing the 2020 draft crop was seriously tricky.

    Besides Sydney academy selection Gulden, it's not like there are any serious midfield claims selected below Bailey. Taylor gets a mulligan on that one, together with the Rosman pick, who we likely wouldn't have selected if successful in our bid to lure Isaac Smith. That last point makes for some interesting what-ifs. 

    If Smith had hypothetically chosen us to fill our second wing spot, would we have then switched our attention to forward reinforcements a year earlier? McCreery seems like the pick of the bunch selected after Laurie, and very much in the Taylor mould. Wonder where he was on the list? Also MFC 2022 with Smith?

    Wow. The kid looks the goods.

    He’ll be number 1. Had an almost under 18s championship with bursts of talent shown across his rotation in mid and up forward.  He’s a genuine ruck rover onballer who can play inside and outside mid. Tough and has pace. Even as a half back, he could setup play and can certainly mark the footy.  He’s the number 1 no doubt.

    Agree, I just can’t see a regular spot for him and assume he will look around.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
