Dees will be picking best Defender and a Midfielder…

Pick 5 Alix Tearu

Pick 9 Murphy Reid/Bo Allan

If Jagga Smith slides to Pick 5 we will be taking him. Then best defender at Pick 9.

    would be more likely that we get Tauru at 6 and Smillie at 11

    Yeah, I don’t give much credence to this by The WA.

    Marc McGowan from the Age has updated his phantom draft and has Melbourne taking Langford and Allan.

    Marc also backing up @BLWNBA Intel around Harry Armstrong interviewing poorly with clubs.

    Good get mate 👏

    My biggest takeaway from Marc (the age) is that there seems to be more momentum building on Adelaide going Draper over Langford, he said it would be a surprise if it went the other way. He also is under the impression Allan won’t get past our second pick which is quite interesting comparing it to Twomey saying Allan and Lindsay is a 50/50. 
     

    My gut feel is someone is going to trade for saints pick 8 to take Allan whether that be Freo or Tiges to jump ahead of us which would leave us with Tauru at 9.

    Lots of posters getting a bit nervous about the quality of the kids we have been linked with. Got to remember folks they are just kids and will improve in every facet of the game when they come into the system. 
    JTs selection over the years especially with mids and flankers has been excellent, with 2 top 10 picks in a strong draft I have no doubt he will pick two crackers. 
    Im just hoping Langford is still on the board at 5. I’d pick him if we had the number one pick( although I’ve come around to Smith a lot more too).

    Then if one or more of Tauru, Lindsay or Allen is left we really can’t lose.

    Twomey got as taking Lindsey instead of Allen after saying Allen might be taken at 6 by Tigers. Tigers take Allen after our 2nd pick.

    Sure. Makes sense.

     

    It's Allan and Lindsay, Curt.

    Tigers are looking to trade lower down the draft order to get Allan.

    Is he the key?

    If the Tigers take him at 6 it could throw a spanner in the works.

    If we are 50/50 with Allan, we can swap 5 for their 6 and plus one of 18, 23 or 24 all likely to attract nice offers as the draft unfolds.

    24 is a very nice pick at the start of round 2 and usually in high demand and attracts a premium.  Probably an extra premium this year with the likelihood of a few sliders.

    It's looking likely that there will be bids for Ashcroft and Lombard within the first ten picks, which means that we will drop to pick eleven and won't know who our second selection is until tomorrow night.

    Tonight is for the first round which will end in the high 20's.

    Thanks Luci.  My bad, I thought tonight was just the top ten.  Carry on!

    Look, if JT doesn't pick who I want as my preference, I'll be demanding that he gets tied up at the front of AFL headquarters and burns at the stake.

    It's as simple as that really.

    Fair enough Daz, I have read recently that you would be better than most recruiters anyways😂. 
     

    I’ve tried not to get too hung up on any player this year after really wanting Curtain last year. Still I’m really hoping Langford is on the board for our first pick.

    Reckon we get Langford at 5 and Tauru at 9. No idea what happens though if Richmond throws everything off with selecting Smith or O'Sullivan at 1.

    I think poor Pickett may have gotten a tad over excited that afternoon.. 😳

    In all seriousness, I am one of JT's biggest fan, he's a screwed operator. I just hope we get the desired outcome that our list needs.

    Screwed operator? 😀

    Is that a cryptic clue? Allen? Phillips? Is there a Driver?

    😂 that will learn me. Really hope we land him if just to give @Demonstone another player name he always has to correct.

    Sorry do you mean they are looking to move one of their later picks down so they can move 10/11 up ahead of us to get Allan? Like for example they trade 10/11 & 20/23/24 to Saints for 8 & 32?

    Feels like a win for both teams as Tiges get their guy with Allan and still maintain 8 picks inside the first 2 rounds, Saints will still get their guy might’ve been picking anyway in Lindsay or Berry and move up to put themselves in the range to grab a mid like Hynes or a tall like Trainor who is similar to Tauru.

    Only 11 more hours of this confusion for me.

    A few years ago on day 2 of the draft I was desperate for Rivers, as I really liked him. 

    Tonight I haven’t got a clue and like all of us, just want the best boys at our picks, whoever they are.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
