I know the TV coverage starts at 7pm, but what time is the actual first pick made?  Is it 7.30?

(No desire to sit through all the waffle before the interesting stuff happens.)

It's going to be like watching the Brownlow isn't it?

Apparently we are not interested in Curtin if available at pick 6.

We won't trade out of the top 10, so I don't think we're a factor. 

We're apparently keen on acquiring GWS' pick 7 so must be keen on a player who will be gone by our pick 11.

Windsor at pick 6 very likely unless Watson is still available. Watson a chance of getting through if North select Curtin instead of Duursma.

Doggies apparently are set on drafting Sanders even if Watson is still on the board.

Hmm, Leake, Caddy or O'Sullian

I think our ideal situation outside of pick 1 (Reid) is landing GWS' pick 7 and selecting both Watson and Windsor if available with picks 6 and 7 likely to be picks 8 and 9 after academy bids. Something like the below.

1. Reid

2. Walter

3. McKercher

4. Curtin

5. Duursma

6. Sanders

7. Read

8. Watson

9. Windsor

Is our 11 + F1 > Adelaide's 10 + 14/20?

We'll take WC's and Adelaide's 2024 first rounders off Adelaide's hands for Harry Petty then ...

Remember the Old Days when this was Our favourite part of the year. Normally started by Round 4 because the season was done. Being a Finals worthy Club with TWO fairly high picks I've got my eyes closed, fingers crossed for a Key Position Type and a young bloke who hurts you with his foot skills forward of Centre. Think there's plenty of options and may the Recruiting lads continue their success.

I can’t believe we are not entertaining a future pick swap with WC. Best case scenario pick 1, in an absolute disaster we break even.

Crows eying off WC future 1st with Sid Draper in mind:

https://houseoffooty.com.au/2023-afl-draft-draft-day-whispers-part-2/

They get Scott Welch’s boy via FS next season. Looks fairly handy so wonder will they look at packaging some first rounders next year for a top pick before Welsh gets nominated or to target a ready made player like Petty


we’ll do a pick swap

we’ll draft a kid from WA as per our MO

people will be surprised by one of the picks

They wouldn’t do the deal until after our pick.

Chess and Sudoku all wrapped up in secrets and lies. Welcome to AFL draft night !!!!

Every recruiting team is super happy with their choices … of course !!!

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
