Our inside 50 connection is going to get a lot better with two beautiful left foot kicks coming in.

    It probably doesn’t factor much but I do wonder if Lindsay’s connection to Mentha through Gippsland could make it more likely we take him?

    JT mentioned on gettable yesterday that the Gippsland boys have been very welcoming of Mentha, and specifically name dropped Duursma (I think Zane?) and Lindsay

    Willem Duursma (eligible for next year likely top 5 pick) is who he was referring to. But yep, the name drop of Lindsay pricked my ears also.

    Happy with Lindsay , best on ground in the states grand final. 
    has a weapon of a kick and can find the footy.

    I think he was still out with injury for the Combine.

    Doesn't mean all that much be he said 'Duursma last year' indicating it was probably Zane. Although every chance with such a successful family it was probably a family affair.

    Of the four names that we’re linked to (tauru, Langford, Lindsay, Allan), I think the only combination I’d be disappointed with is Lindsay and Tauru. Feel like at minimum we need 1 big bodied, ready to go mid for round 1 next year

    ?? Am I missing something? He says it’s a toss-up between Lindsay and Allan at 9.

    ”which could see the Demons having to choose between Allan and Lindsay. Rival clubs believe that decision is extremely line-ball and could go either way”

    Carlton 'in-the-know' poster on bigfooty, who claims links to Port Adelaide insiders, says Port are under the impression the Crow's are selecting Draper......for whatever little that is worth

    I'm hoping Richmond completely shut up shop on their draft picks and there's pandemonium tomorrow night. It would be fun (assuming we aren't particularly impacted). Go Tiges! The icing on the cake would be a Silvagni howler.

    So likely two of Langford, Tauru, Allan, Lindsay with a pick out the back end.

    I like it 👏👏 … JT will have the combinations all worked out

    Can anyone explain why we're not into Sid Draper at all?

    He is literally everything we need - fast, agile, skilful, run and carry between the arcs, hit targets in transition, tough as nails, creative, good character, in and out midfielder.  

    Looks like a combination of Lachie Neale and Zach Merrett but with even more speed and agility.

     Langford looks ok, but I don't feel he will change anything with the way we play. 

    It's a big call but Draper could, like Naicos for Collingwood. 

    Maybe it's a given that the Crows take him or maybe he has a big go home factor. Not sure, but there is no player more suited to us in this draft.

    Man….if the Crows take Langford and we pass on this kid I’d be pretty disappointed. He was my preference over Langford, but I’m coming around the Langford because of his forward ability.

    Draper looks a polished workhorse. I’d be surprised if the Crows pass on him.

    May the crows beggar belief, be bamboozled in the headlights and  buy or be bullied into taking Harvey the Bull.

    Sid the Draper suits our needs best prototype modern footballer. Best dressed gets their man.

    I've seen Draper the least out of this years reported top 10 so my opinion is less informed. 

    But reading up on his weakness it sounds like he's a poor user of the footy.

    To the the extent that we need a big bodied mid it’s to play in 3+ years time.

    Langford and Allan aren’t playing significant midfield time round 1 if Oliver, Tracc, Viney, Rivers are up and going.

    I honestly can't imagine a scenario where a club that took a Curtain last year passes on a Draper this year.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
