Can I have some of whatever you’re on? I see a guy who gets it done rather than a star with JVR. 

There's none so blind as those who will not see.

    When Cal talks about p6. Whilst all the recruiters reckon it’s Smillie @ 6, Cal wonders whether Tiges jump on Allan here knowing both Dees & Saints are interested.

    We will grab Allan at 5, Tauru at 9 I can see it now

    Tauru won’t get passed the Saints or a trade up for the second saints pick, I don’t believe they won’t trade if they get a great offer.

    If Richmond want to take Allan at 6 that’s fine. St Kilda take 2 of Draper, Smillie, Travaglia. We’ll snap up the one that gets through or pivot to Lindsay

    That's the only way I can see it potentially, but the whole trying to turn defenders into forwards doesn't sit well with me at all. 

    If we're desperate for a key forward then grab someone like a Jobe Shanahan who's a natural key forward and proven at VFL level that he can kick goals.

    HENCE Petty forward is doomsday stuff!!

    This is my prediction.

    Richmond - Lalor

    North Melbourne- FOS

    Carlton - Smith

    Adelaide - Langford 

    Melbourne - Taura

    I could go Allan 5, Reid 9, thank your mother for the rabbits.

    1. Lalor, 2. Tauru, 3. FOS, 4. Draper - then we take Smith with 5

    When pick 9 comes up, if we like 3 players still available, we offer Smith to Richmond for 10 and 11

     

    I am assuming this is possible/allowed, but havent looked at rules about trading on draft night

    Same as Fox Footy’s Phantom.

    Could easily be the way it goes but quietly hoping that North pick Tauru or Adelaide pick Draper.

    See what Cal comes up with this afternoon I guess.

    I'm convinced we'll take Tauru with 5 as well now.

    @Demonstone Here's another one for you. I've seen this version of Tauru written so often that I thought Admiral Yamamoto and Commander Fuchida had started posting on Demonland.

    * Tauru.

    You're not allowed to spell his name incorrectly unless we draft him.  :D

    And with pick 5 in the best draft in years, MFC select.... a medium defender

     

    I trust JT but he will test that trust if he does this

    This site if we trade picks on draft night will be a thing to behold!

    Tauru is a gun and will be very happy if we draft him. Particularly with our KPP needs. Along with Travaglia and Lalor he is one the most aggressive and competitive players in the pool. 

    Puts added pressure on getting pick 9 right with a mid but we have one of the best in the league choosing so I'm comfortable whichever way it falls.

    Allan, Lindsay, Hynes, Berry, Reid at 9 with the potential for Smillie or Travaglia still on the board. Can't complain with any of those players.

    It's a clear sign that we intend to Zero in on him.   (IYKYK)

    If we draft Tauru, I think it shows how much optimism the club has that both Petracca and Oliver will both be back to their best next season.

    I reckon we would be placing a lot of importance on competitiveness and character 

    Any idea who is best on this front in the top 10?

    I personally think that is a bit of a stretch…. Probably more likely they think there is no point building a draft strategy alongside a scenario that may or may not happen…

    I appreciate your optimism, but ending up with say Tauru and Lindsay, when just a couple days ago we were eyeing off Langford/FOS/Smith and Allan, is uninspiring to say the least

    • 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.

      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.
