By all reports FOS is the one out of all of them with the lowest floor but the highest ceiling. The same type of player as these two - could be Col Sylvia and have all the tools but never quite kick on…or could be Dangerfield.

Not as foolproof as Smith or Draper who have much higher floors but if you back our development team in then there’s a hell of a lot to work with and he could end up being the best of the lot of them.

Becoming increasingly likely that it’s one of Langford or FOS that ends up with us at our first pick.

Yep.

North will take Tauru at 4 if the HS are correct.

We'll have a choice of Langford or O'Sullivan it seems.

1 Lalor

2 Smith

3 Draper

4 Tauru

5 Langford or O'Sullivan

Personally, I'd take O'Sullivan if it plays out this way, but I know Dazzle and others aren't as keen.

But who knows.  Maybe North surprises and overlooks Tauru at 4.

At 5 best available whether mid or tall.

At 9 there are some talls, mids and running HB/mids likely available.

So some needs come into play at 9. Considerations might be will/can Rivers, Kolt, pup, McVee turn into very good mids?.

Will we move Petty and or Turner back if need be?

How likely are we to get a tall EG Kalani White next 2025 draft?

We will throw the kitchen sink at Kalani. Get him and we likely get 1st dibs on his twin brothers.

Any trade up with North make the possibility of North taking Tauru basically set in stone; if North were planning on taking a mid @ 2, they wouldn't trade it - they'd chose the pick of the bunch for themselves. 

A trade a few spots down for North make the "reach" for Tauru more palatable. 

They've been linked to Tauru by just about every source so it's just joining the dots. 

 

I don't want Tauru at 5, so in my eyes this is an absolute win. We take the left over mid at 5 then cross everything and hope Armstrong goes between 5 and 9 so we can be saved from ourselves. 

I'm JT I trust (as long as he doesn't pick who I don't like)

If Armstrong was a swingman capable of playing defence too, or a genuine 200cm ruck/fwd the pick would make a lot more sense

Wonder if there's a world where we take a Whitlock or Shannahan instead if they offer more flexibility

If FOS is on the board at our pick I'm ALL IN!

He's my favourite player in this draft I think he's the most special player in it. An all rounder with some x factor.

I think he's such a great mixture of inside/outside, great marking, creativity, vision, footwork and evasive skills. He has so many tools and the athleticism we need in this current team and upside to lead the club down the line.

I had conceded he was going to go top three and beyond our reach. Maybe I shouldn't get too carried away with today's rumors...

There is a world where we trade out 9 for a mid teen and a later pic and go maybe a Hynes and maybe a Whitlock

I am certainly open minded when it comes to 9

Think Langford fits better with goodies contest defence way of thinking so expect we take him, FOS would by accounts be a point of difference in the mid something we lack, don’t think either will be a bad choice. Our next pick is more interesting would we go with next best like a Smilie if they were still available or go with a need like kpp

Why would the crows need to do that?

Jagga smith would probably be available at pick 4 anyway wouldn’t he?

I just read it got knocked back by North.

The original offer of P4 + 2 x 3rd rounders for Pick 2 got knocked back, according to the age (or herald sun, can't remember which)

Ok, was able to find it, it simply read “North Melbourne is understood to have knocked back the Crows offer of pick 4 and 2 future 3rd selections for pick 2”.

Chris Cavanagh & Matt Turner

For anyone interested, here is a Full Mock Draft for 2024 done by "PommyinOz" and a few other blokes.

Looks like they had a bit of fun doing this actually!

Here is the link to it:

The guy representing the Demons chose Alix Tauru at pick #5 and Harry Armstrong at pick #9.

Not sure why he chose both talls?

But everyone is going to have their own unique opinions on who the Demons might choose in the Draft.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
