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

Reid, Ginbey, Hewett (if he can get on the park consistently), Draper and Allen have the potential makings of a damn good midfield in 3-5 years.

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.

They have Charlie Banfield next year as FS and likely younger brother Harper in 26. They will also be across Harley Reid and whether he chooses to commit furtherĀ 

It would be good if we rate Dodson, we should be able to position to draft him. It's the perfect timing for us to draft a ruck with Max having 3 more years.Ā 

I think Verrall can play but at 200cm max he's going to struggle to be #1 ruck. With Campbell coming and B.Brown and Schache exiting maybe he can trial as ruck-forward at Casey.

Ā 

Hopefully JT nails a mid that turns up a gun with pick 6.

We should roll the dice and go for the GC pick 12 with our future 1st.

Hopefully we can draft Dodson with our pick 25 from Adelaide. We may even be able to trade that up a bit??

No doubt Riv and MCVee will train with the mids this pre season.

Wow! Alot of exciting young talent there.

With pick #5 in the 2024 AFL we could take one of the following:

ā— Harvey Langford

ā— Sid Draper

ā— Sam Lalor

ā— Finn O'Sullivan

ā— Josh Smillie

Imagine if we could be fortunate enough to grab two of these players?

I would be willing to trade away our future 1st round pick (in 2025) so we could manage to snaffle another pick in the top 15 to 20 in this year's draft.

Would definitely be inquiring about Brisbane's and Gold Coast's first round picks due to points required for Father-Son pick (Levi Ashcroft) and NGA player picks (Sam Marshall for Brisbane and Leonardo Lombard for Gold Coast).

Possibly GWS too if they have any points needed for NGA player picks?

Richmond will have ALOT of early draft picks with so many of their players moving to Fremantle and West Coast. So we might be able to do a deal with them if they are willing to take a future 1st round pick from us for one of their early picks and they'll "death ride" us in 2025.

Anyway, I am sure Jason Taylor is looking at all those sorts of possible scenarios.

@manny100Ā NoĀ doubt Riv and MCVee will train with the mids this pre season.

I agree they have midfield potential but both played junior footy in the national championships as defenders … running half backs. Ā Both have been very very good as Rivers rebounding defender with spirit and heart and McVee with composure and defensive smarts against small forwards. Ā We have to be careful not to rob our backline as we lack a replacement rebounding half back or a steady composure mid-small back pocket. Ā I’m happy with trialling but prefer them in their current roles. Draft 2 or possibly 3 young specialist mids in this draft. Ā  They are there across many draft rounds. Ā

Not every good defender or forward needs to be turned into a midfielder.

Rivers looked quite good as a mid, and we have plenty of half backs who can fill his mid sized role. Mcvee though didn't look great in the admittedly short time in the midfielder, and we don't have any other competent small defenders. Moving him away from a position he excels at without a competent replacement would move us backwards IMO.

Agree we should draft pure midfielders with our high pick/s and leave Mcvee down back. And also Kozzie should remain forward. Without his goal scoring power and defensive pressure, our forward line is a limp mess.

1. Sam Lalor
GWV Rebels/Vic Country
Midfielder/forward, 187cm, 30/8/2006
Talent League stats (avg):Ā 23 disposals, 6.3 clearances, 6 inside 50s
The Age’s August top 30:Ā No.5
The next Dustin Martin could be on his way to Tigerland. Most recruiters who spoke to this masthead believe Richmond are weighing up Lalor or Finn O’Sullivan at No.1. Many non-Richmond talent scouts also rank Lalor that highly despite a serious hamstring injury ending his season amid a severely interrupted campaign. They are confident he will get on top of his physical issues in a full-time AFL environment, and with improved fitness. Lalor’s combination of power, physicality, kicking skills, game-changing ability and penchant for impacting the game as a midfielder and forward make him a closer projection to MartinĀ than Christian Petracca.

6.Ā Isaac Kako
Calder Cannons/Vic Metro
Forward, 175cm, 7/3/2006
Talent League stats (avg):Ā 18.7 disposals, 1.7 goals, 7.7 score involvements
The Age’s August top 30:Ā 12
Essendon may need to match a high opposition bid on their NGA prospect, with Melbourne strongly considering the dangerous small forward – or are they playing games with the Bombers? Either way, Kako, whose parents were born in Iraq, is considered a top-10 lock after a brilliant national under-18 championships. There should be no hesitation taking a sub-180cm goalsneak with Kako’s ability this high after Nick Watson’s impressive debut season. Kako is powerful, and has a knack for creating scoring opportunities and kicking audacious goals from seemingly hopeless situations. He can improve defensively, but can impact the game beyond the forward 50.


Basically it’s another jigsaw puzzle jumble. Ā Lalor at 1, Ashcroft at 2, big mover Tauru at 3, Smith at 4, Langford at 5, Kako at 6, O’Sullivan at 7, Smillie 8, Lombard 9, Draper at 10. Ā  Armstrong at 11 and noted they have Reid falling to 18. Ā It’s such an even group possessing all variety of footy skills, athleticism and strengths. The combine interviews to work through the Character and Fit will be keys to which clubs pick these young stars. Ā 
Ā 

footnote. If Lalor is gone by our pick , if we get either Langford or Draper or O'Sullivan than it’s still happy days. Ā

I've got it but it's a bit big to post. Happy to PM

Can you PM mate?

St. Kilda getting pick 8# in Free Agent compensation for losing Josh Battle is massive for them.

They'll have picks 7# and 8# in this year's AFL Draft. This gives them an opportunity to draft 2 young guns or be a major player during the trade period.

It would be funny if they offered both picks to Port Adelaide for Dan Houston or even to us at the Demons for Clayton Oliver.

I don't think the Saints are that dumb though. Plus their supporters might burn down Moorabbin if they did that.

Gonna be pretty flat if that how it ends up panning out - was hoping Lalor would be available at our pick. Makes sense that he wouldn't be though.

Not keen on O'Sullivan.Ā 

A lot of water to go under the bridge yet.Ā 


For those who follow this closely what your thoughts on Harry Armstrong? Would he be worth pick 13 if we got our hands on it?

Thanks

I'd be surprised if he lasted that long.

Fingers crossed the Demons can get this deal sorted with Gold Coast. šŸ¤ž

Some heavy competition, and unfortunately probably some are in a better position to offer more then what we can.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. Ā We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's Ā six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.Ā
