    What does his camp think about Melbourne?

    This feels like a very strange move. Is he trying to torpedo his own chances of going top 5 by putting off Eagles & Crows?

    Sid Draper is a future star.  I didn’t think he would make it past the Crows pick.  99% sure if he’s available, Crows grab him.  If he dropped to “5”, definitely be very tempted to grab him.  He’s a complete package as a midfielder.

    Not sure if it has already been posted, but here is the 2024 Under 18 All Australian Team.

    Hopefully the Demons can draft one or two (or even three) of these young guns.

    6 of the All Australian under 18s are assigned to father son or academy picks.  Lions - Ashcroft & Marshall, Blues- Camporeale, suns- Lombard & Uwland (2025) and Logan Smith (GWS Giants) .

    Ashcroft will likely go at pick 2. Brisbane will need 2014 draft points to bid on him after discounting.

    Let's say their academy player Marshall slides and gets bid on at 30. That's another 432 points needed after discounting.

    2446 points needed. Brisbane will have 1228 points prior to trade and free agency so they'll need to find another 1218 points just for those two players... possibly more if Marshall gets an earlier bid or if Richmond bids on Ashcroft at #1.

    I'm honestly not sure how they get this done without giving up a lot of their 2025 draft capital, or trading someone out this year. As an example, our picks 37, 45, 50 and 61 are worth 1238 points. That would cover it, but only if we were trading them for 2025 picks.

    I assume Dylan Robertson will leave and they might get some points back there but will still be a long way off...

    Clubs should bid for Marshall within range 12-15.  If it’s after that, then it’s a disgrace and clubs aren’t pushing hard enough.  He’s good enough to be picked at 12-15 so make Lions pay the right price for him !!

    If we needed up with another top 15 pick and  managed to pick up three of the listed players below I’d be stoked! (Yes it means one would have to slide to anb’s pick) 

    Draper/Reid/Langford, Berry/tauru/x.Lindsey and Hannaford/Shanahan

    Interesting, KPF at 5 and we have a choice of a few good mids at the effective pick 7.

    Rather mid than a forward that will probably end up like Weidman

    Bring on the good stuff now. Trade period and draft.

    Whilst I'm not expecting major player movement during the trade period, I'm hoping for some clever pick trading.

    Maybe our next coach will come through the Demonland system as well. There are so many here that would do a much better job..........apparently 😏

    Yep, a lot of supporters still suffer from PTSD over that one. Especially since Curnow went later. Can't win them all i guess.

     Will Ashcroft h being  on the smaller side yet so strong through the hips it’s making me think Jagga Smith could do something similar.

    good evasiveness , great in tight , and football brains !!

    The Lions will have to trade a future in or trade out players. Otherwise they will have to pass on Marshall. I suspect they will trade out player/s.

    Both Ashcroft and Marshall are mids.

    Gold Coast have Lombard as an Academy pick this year. Their 1st 3 picks are 6,12 and 20. He is expected to go in the Top 12 or so picks. We will know closer to the draft. They have plenty of picks from 20 on to match a bid. They likely plan to use pick 6 on Rioli. They plan to trade out players and bring Noble in, 

    We may make a play for pick 12 or 20 using a future pick or combination of picks.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
