    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

    just a different link for anyone interested 

    Cal actually says very little on the draft prospects. Saving it for tomorrow

    SEN's 2024 AFL full Phantom Draft has us taking Josh Smillie with 5 (6), and Jobe Shanahan with 9 (11).

    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)

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
