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.

 

6 will go to the tigs for rioli

12 will go for noble and the filth's future 1st

20 will probably be swapped for a future 1st from someone else as well

    Lions have 18,56,69.  That’s 985,194,49.   1228 in total.   They will need a lot of points to get Ashcroft & Marshall.  Even with the discounting.  Surely clubs will put Ashcroft at 2 or 3 and Marshall at 12-15.   How can afford both without going into massive deficit as well as trading out future picks?

    Doesn't look like Jagga will get to us.

    Lalor.

    But between Smith and Lalor, I'm going the former.

    He’s the full package. Best player in the draft alongside Ashcroft.  Cannot believe he could be rated at 9.  Crows will grab him at pick “4”. (If the Eagles don’t jump at 3).  Pace. Skill. Smarts.  Runs and runs for second efforts.  Goalkicker.  Dees would ❤️💙him in red and blue.

    If Dees had to choose between Langford, Lalor or O’Sullivan.  That’s tough. Very tough.  Would have to be extra interviews and discussion.  Do they love footy.  How would they fit in.  What makes them tick.  Lots of the extra JT magic required.

    I assumed Draper would get taken pick 3 or 4 and not be available at our pick. If he makes it through to us and doesn't seem a homesick type, then we have to take him. His agility and speed out of contests is brilliant, and his foot skills are great too. He'll be an elite midfielder.

    We're in a great position where we could land one of Draper, Langford or Lalor to build our future midfield around.

    I’m hearing West Coast very keen on Bo Allan, that being the case I would anticipate a pick swap somewhere as Bo definitely isn’t pick 3

    Trading back in.

    Dees might just land up with Campbell & Parfitt as delisted free agents plus potentialDerksen with trade for pick 50ish. If ANB trade gets us “25”, then we’d have 5,25,37, 45 & 61.  Useful for pick swaps and allowing JT to weave his magic to try to add 3-4 quality youngsters.

    How is Ashcroft not 1?

    I believe there's a monetary prize attached to Pick 1. Whoever holds #1 when the draft comes around would want their own first choice to take advantage of the kudos that comes with first pick and the cash.

    Therefore, in my hypothetical, I expect that say Jagga Smith goes at 1 to Richmond and North nominates Levi Ashcroft at 2 forcing Brisbane to claim him at that pick. Then it's North picking their first choice at 3.

    I wonder if St Kilda would give up their two top 10 picks for pick 3? If they did they'd be stupid...

    There's a few people I know that watch a lot of WAFL and local games that believe Bo will be the next Fyfe. I disagree but he is looking like a likely draft bolter with his late-season form and decent performances for Peel in their WAFL finals/premiership.

    If West Coast can't get some swaps done I can see them crumbling and picking up at 3 in desperation of not wanting Freo to grab him with either of their first two picks where he'll most likely land.

    I don’t see a Fyfe in Allan, Davis’s end of season form was better in the seniors. If they don’t think Allan is worth 3 they won’t take him, just like they didn’t take Curtin early last season despite wanting him

    Will he last to 13? 

    They might try and use future picks for Baker instead of the Barrass pick.

    I think he might, I’d have money on them taking Draper at 3

    That’s about his range, which probably explains why WC are one of the clubs going after GC’s pick 12. Probably crazy enough to give up their future 1st to land p12, which could blow other bidders out of the water.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
