    I’d be super happy with an outcome of Tauru & Allan. Tauru has absolute A+ potential, his rate of development in the back half of the year has been rapid and there’s nothing he can’t do athletically, personally I think he can actually be a 50+ goal a year forward and would perfectly compliment our other forwards. Happy to overlook Draper at 5 for him, I don’t think Draper’s cieling is an A-grade mid due to his scrappy skills, he’s definitely more of a sure thing but cieling doesn’t compare to Tauru. Allan is actually a pretty similar player to Draper except he’s 10 cms taller and can play half back very well. Both Allan & Tauru could easily play R1 next year with their athleticism & competitiveness two of their strongest strengths.

    Fox Footy Phantom Draft

    This has us taking Taura at pick 5 and Allan at pick 9.

    So what’s the intel this morning Dazzle?  Can’t wait for Wednesday, the suspense is killing me!

    I'm still waiting for Cal's phantom. 

    Tauru at 5 is a devastating result. 

    Unless he turns out to be a gun.

    Do you really think JT would take him at 5 if he does not believe he will be a gun.

    His record drafting talls isn't great. I'll just leave it at that.

    Will Allan get to us @ ND9?

    Reckon Freo or Eagles will go all out for Saints ND8!  Freo need his type and WCE need anyone who is reasonably good!!

    Both have goodies to offer this year and future picks especially Eagles with 2025 picks of 2*1st and 2*2nd etc.  While it wouldn't affect WCE decisions they took a lot of heat trading out pick 3 and risk missing out on him.

    Imagine WC trading out of pick 3 and then selling the farm to get back in at 8😂

    I have seen it reported that Allan is very similar player to Ginbey at WC so they may not be keen to double up. 
    Also Freo will want to hold onto future draft picks to have a crack at Chad Warner next year.

    We’ve been linked to all of Lalor, FOS, Jagga and Langford so if all four are picked before our pick perhaps it is Tauru’s name that is next on our board. It’s rumoured we’re not particularly interested in Draper.

    Really hope North pick Tauru though so we do end up with one of FOS/Jagga/Langford at our first pick. Lalor pretty much guaranteed to go at pick 1.

    Gettable has just started. There may be a bit of a wait for Cals phantom.

    Lolll.  This post pretty much sums up pre-draft Demonland.

    Cal says it’s out of Langford or Tauru for us (unless Lalor or O’Sullivan get through if the first few go a different way).

    Cal doesn’t seem to think we have much interest in Draper. Says will likely pick which one of Langford or Tauru is available.

    I may have misheard, didn’t he say he doesn’t expect Tauru to get through to us?

    Interesting that when Cal was quizzed this morning on which key forward would be picked first, he said that Richmond are most likely to consider Armstrong at pick 10. No mention of us at pick 9.

    I'd be least happy If Tauru is the one that is still available out of him Langford, FOS and Lalor but not surprised. 

    Certainly a swing for the fence selection if we take him at 5.

    Should stick Tauru up forward

    I can cope with Tauru because we really do need a Macdonald replacement. 

    Hoisted by my own petard. The fake rumour I put out on bigfooty has come to fruition. Curse these powerful fingers!

    It won’t offend me Dazz, good idea to keep it from other clubs though, good thinking. 
    Happy wit what you’ve heard?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
