    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)

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
