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: 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.
