We've been linked to almost every player predicted to go in the top dozen or so, wonder when the real mail is coming

Cal twomey 12 hours before the draft most likely.

I was thinking 12 hours after

Players we’re linked to with our first two picks according to the above;

Dan Curtin (Key Defender/Midfielder)

Ryley Sanders (Midfielder)

Connor O’Sullivan (Key Defender)

Nate Caddy (Medium Forward/Midfielder)

James Leake (Medium Defender/Forward)

Reid, McKercher, Duursma, Watson and the Academy picks expected to be snapped up prior to our first pick.

 

Been a little while since I checked the ranking but Ethan Read appears to have been a bolter? Running ruckman with good ground coverage. Any chance he could be in play?

So going by this we would end up with Ryley Sanders and  Caleb Windsor.... I'd be pretty happy with that personally.

Really I will be happy with one of Sanders, Curtin or Watson at our pick.

Gold Coast will match any bid that comes for him.

Sounds as though if Hawthorn don’t take Watson then the Bulldogs will. It’s becoming increasingly likely that we will take whichever one of Curtin or Sanders is available at our pick. 
 

Hawthorn: Watson or Curtin

Bulldogs: Watson or Sanders

Dees: Curtin or Sanders

Post in thread 'PMBangers 2023 Draft Thread' https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/pmbangers-2023-draft-thread.1348092/post-81752173

Pmbangers has his phantom draft up.

Surprised to see he has us taking Edwards with our second pick. He already has been tipped as a bolter this year but pick 11( 13 after academy) is much higher than I’ve seen him anywhere else. 

I haven’t seen him at all but his rookie me central profile suggest he has a skill set we would be interested in. 

Strengths- clean hands, kicking, running capacity and upside.

He's a Gold Coast academy draftee and was always expected to be drafted top 10. GC have 3 academy prospects (Walter, Read, Rogers) set to be taken I the first round. Read is not an option for us, though we'll likely bid on him if he available.

From the moment I first saw a clip of him I said that’s a first round pick based on the huge upside. And the type of player we like so was always going to get linked to us .

But it certainly would be a risk given his form only came late in the year with limited midfield exposure in a stacked team.

Id say his strengths are mostly that he’s a great size and athlete, with some ability to find and use the ball creatively in traffic.

Has to tidy up his handballing and his kicking certainly isn’t fluent.

You’re risking 50% chance he’s Paddy Dow for a 10% chance he’s Paddy Dangerfield.

Not sure we needed to trade up to 11 to get him either. Could’ve just used 14 if we were after him

Not sure about that, one of the reasons I said Paddy Dow in that example was due to the teams drafting between those picks. 

 

1. Reid
2. Walter (Bid matched)
3. McKercher
4. Duursma (Has said he has a pretty good idea where he's going. North or Hawks. Thinking only Hawks if a deal for Reid gets done.)
5. Watson if not Sanders or Curtin
6. Sanders if not Watson (Dogs likely not going for a tall, as already stacked and have Croft coming)
7. Curtin if there if not Watson or Sanders. Curtin been told we will take him if still available.

Sounding about right? I'm probably missing something.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
