Haven't seen us take a bolter like that since Clayton Oliver.

Touching wood, shedding a tear for not getting Curtin who has been my stable draft-crush all along.

I'm devastated we didn't look at Curtin

    Wow that seems like a real surprise. I feel like Curtin or O’Sullivan made the most sense, trust the guys who get paid the big bucks I guess

    Of course we looked at him.  We decided that Windsor was better.

    Have some faith in our recruiting staff FFS.

    Clearly he and his family are ecstatic about coming to the Dees. Daniel Curtin on the other hand, not so enthusiastic about going to the crows, 😆

    Ahhh no I find that difficult we have 3 or 4 at Casey who won't realise their draft selections in my view

    By the look of it, WC wasn't that interested in Curtin either. Certainly not for their F1.

    Serious Toumpas/Weideman vibes with this pick. Not impressed.

    Thrilled we didn't jump for Curtain

    Windsor our most uncontested pick since Toumpas. Let's hope history doesn't repeat.

    What a joke!!@@

    Imagine being drafted to Essendon and on fox footy they just compared him to Jake stringer.

    He might push Jake out of the team.

    Can anyone explain why we couldn't pick Mac Andrew as a Melbourne academy player last year, when gold coast are allowed to pick 2 academy players in the top 10 this year?

    • TRAINING: Friday 14th November 2025

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
