    Hope that SEN phantom draft isn't a sign of things to come

    Selecting both Smillie and Shanahan would be disappointing if all of Langford, Tauru, Reid and Travaglia are available at picks 5 and 9.

    dees internal draft board generally incredibly different to consensus rankings

    Who was it first that confirmed Windsor to us before Twomey? Was it the Age the day before.

    Twomey I reckon called it 2 or 3 days before. I remember being skeptical at the time and wishing we’d go for Curtin. Glad to be wrong

    We were linked to Windsor a fair way out, but originally with pick 13

    The Tholstrup links came way closer to the draft, after we made the trip over to grab some of his nan's roast

    That roast must’ve been exquisite

    SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft

    Richmond take Harvey Langford with 6 (7) and Alix Tauru with 10 (12).

    I'd be thrilled with Smillie, but a hard no on Shanahan.  How many 195cm forwards do we need in the squad?  Does he provide any point of difference over the players we already have in those roles?  Much better off bringing in more midfield class.

    Shanahan is much more athletic than what we have, he is much more in the Curnow mould.  I hope we get him

    Not a fan of FOS, so of it purely came down to Jagga, Draper or Langford then it's a win for us either way.

    Unfortunately there is no way Lalor lasts to our pick.

    I reckon Carlton are a chance to take Draper

    Did anyone else notice on Gettable that Cal linked us to Whitlock? It’s the first time I’ve heard that link, and I’m not even sure which brother he was referring to.

    We’ve had a link to Jack previously (per Marc McGowan in the Age).

    ABC have had a go at a phantom:

    If Richmond don't take Lalor at pick 1, would North consider him at pick 2 over Tauru? I am really curious about this because the Dusty type would feel a bit like the icing on the cake for what they're trying to build midfield wise.

    Just going on the ABC guide. The top 6 is almost set

    1 Lalor

    2 Tauru

    3 O'Sullivan

    4 Draper

    5 Smith

    6 Langford

    It's going to be a tough decision on who the Dees pick up at 5 out of Smith and Langford better them choosing than me it would be a nightmare.

    7 to 9 are a bit murkier.

    Apparently St.Kilda are interested in Smillie, but I'm not sure anyone in the top 10 will pick him.

    7 Travaglia

    8 Armstrong

    9 Allan

    Shanahan and Reid are also in the mix at 9.

    I haven't included Ashcroft because it makes no difference he's going to Brisbane.

    I just dropped our first round (27 picks in total) mock draft on YouTube.  Have a look and let me know what you think:

    I wouldn’t be sure of that. Lalor is still the pick 1 favourite but Cal sounds nervous.

    The North and Adelaide pick swap seems genuinely possible. And Draper to Carlton has momentum too.

    Every chance Cal’s phantom looks like this.

    1. FOS (Rich)
    2. Lalor (Adel) or Draper
    3. Draper (Carl) or Lalor/Langford/Smith 
    4. Tauru (North).

    Would be nice if it went like this..

    1. FOS (Rich)

    2. Langford (Adel)

    3. Draper (Carl)

    4. Tauru (North)

    5. Lalor (Melb)

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
