So now they have Wardlaw, Sheezel and Reid. Hell that’s going to get them a premiership surely?

+ LDU

Early premiership? They'd dominate the TAC Cup but it's going to be a fair long time until they're a premiership contender. Need a defence and another tall forward.

Reid to North, sheesh they’re going to be good 

So it pays off to be a basket case of a club for 4 years 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.

I don't mind the idea of a draft lottery ala NBA.

Sad to see Reaid going to North… Or is he still gettable? Hawthorn did rebuild via multiple high picks in the one draft… Clarkson possibly do the same here by trading out Pick 1.

Anyway, Dees need to get hold of GC Pick 5.

Duursma (Pick 4) & GC Pick 5 (Best Available)

Trade for a Key Position Forward. Grundy to Port for Georgiadis…? 


after all that

it was always a pipedream. let's take our picks to the draft and let JT work his magic.

Not if WC had finished last as they should 😭.

Pick 4 and 6 this year was gettable for us, then it would be a matter of how keen WC is to trade.

Get the Tassie kid, he looks very, very good

As long as the AFL don't try and pilfer him when Tassie comes in ala Scully

Worked for us.

That's the way the comp is designed, would never want to see a draft lottery, NBA is totally different to AFL with only 5 starting players.

Brayden George still to come with LDU, Simpkin, Thomas and Larkey up front.

Building a very good side.

I can see a few injuries before their game this week.

The bad news is we aren't getting Reid.

The good news is the league doesn't have to give in to North's woe is me sooking for priority picks. No more Ben McKay pick 2 compo. No more nonsense with Colonel Sanders.

We should get a fair crack at pick 4 or pick 5, which will then ease out at least one spot with Walter from the Suns but that's better than McKay compo and Sanders off the board.

Ziebell already got the retired/assaulted. LDU out last week. Shouldn't be hard to add a few more.

It’s the reason we won a flag.

Hard to see FA compo or priority picks being ahead of the Eagles. But they will be gifted Sanders some how.

Exactly why they should change the system, now that we’ve already been able to take advantage of it! Stop anyone else from doing the same!

We had a pair of number 1 picks and didn't win anything.

We had picks 2, 3 (which would shouldn't have got but we did deserve a top 10 pick for Chip) and traded up from pick 6 I believe for pick 4 to get Oliver and we win a flag.

If anything that franks the argument that a lottery that still sees the bottom 4 clubs prioritised but doesn't guarantee the top pick to anyone is a good idea.

I mean, assuming we didn't stuff their development we would've had a far better side in the early 10's with Dusty and Nic Nat than our pick 1's.

1. Reid - North

2. Walter - Gold Coast

3. Curtin - West Coast

 

Dorks would choose from Duursma, McKercher or Watson and we'd have a pick of the other 2 as I can see Freo's pick landing just after Dorks

2 very handy picks if we get the Suns pick 4/5. That’ll give an immediate boost  to our list. 
 

Need two athletes with speed and skill that’ll help with ball movement and transition in the coming years. 

North and Freo will end in 18th and 15 th spot respectively , this improve our position of getting no.1 draft pick thou a long shot. What would we need to give up Pick 5, pick 15 and next years 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder for a Grundy deal.

Our alternative would be get Caddy and Read

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
