Are you saying we would pick Caddy over Curtin? Cal had us taking Curtin if he's still available at pick 6. I doubt Caddy would have been taken before pick 6, although Cal did later link Caddy to the Dees.

That’s what I’ve heard.  I reckon I might have the top 10 by the weekend

    Reid, Walter, McKercher, Duursma
    Hawks: Watson
    Dogs: Sanders
    Dees: Caddy or Curtin
    GWS: Windsor, (Caddy taken) or Curtin
    Geel: Curtin/(Caddy taken)/ O’Sullivan/ Wilson/ Leake
    Ess: O’Sullivan/(Windsor, Caddy taken)/Wilson/Hardeman
    Adel: Wilson/O’Sullivan (taken)
    With an Ethan Read bid some where.

    Rough attempt at amalgamating your mail with Cal Twomey’s. 

    If the Hawks and Dogs picks start to filter through before the draft the focus will switch towards our choice. 

    Curtin seems the hardest to place, could go 5, 7-13. Us and GWS might prioritise needs, so my guess is the Cats grab him.

    Hopefully Leake is available at 11 for us

    I doubt it. Sheehan is very inaccurate in these drafts each year.

    Was in a restaurant 1 night in 2008, Sheehan was at the next table, asked him If Nic Nat would look good in a dees strip, he said, " Believe me the best player in the draft is Jack Watts", He goes on Hype not smarts, if he says we will pick someone, then hopefully we don't.

    I think GWS really like Leake from the reports I've read and he's certainly in contention according to their list manager.

    I was told 2 months ago we were heavily into Duursma, Watson & Caddy. I took it with a grain of salt. Maybe some truth there?

    I just don’t see it myself.

    Yeh they’re probably the danger. I feel moving up to 11 with all those picks will be a waste if we don’t get Leake or Windsor

    Could grab both.

    According to Cal T. :

    ”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

    Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

    Take it if we get offered it.

    Why?

    You get a player this year, who could get you Reid in a couple of years and even if not, is the type of player we need and you have him now.

    WC could rise a few spots and you don’t know who is where next year and you are a year behind in development of a player.

    Not for me.

    At first I was against this, but over time I’m warming to the idea. I’ll happily leave it in the hands of JT and TL.

    The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

    • 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.
