I’m not a draft/CTL watcher, so who’s got those elite skills and agility that we need?

    Don't trade it! With Levi Ashcroft a likely number 1, we will have a choice of one of Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan, Murphy Reid, Harvey Langford, Sid Draper or Josh Smillie.  All should be excellent AFL players.

    Avoids any Battle compo affecting our first pick also. Thank you Saints. 

    So only an Academy player or F/S can get in our way.

    Well I was proven wrong, I thought the Saints Saintliness would see them throw it.

    We might have to give Jack Higgins a statue and pick up Zak Jones.

    I mean, Jones fits nicely in our spent midfielder recruiting pattern of the last two years anyway so we’ll probably get him. Then add a few extra bucks for that handball and smother.

    Is Murphy related to Harley?

    Just prepare the terrain for the Reid bros.

    The eagles haven’t tried a priority pick yet. But I don’t think they’d get a top 5 pick.

    Pick 5 

    ***** DO NOT TRADE THIS PICK *****

    Will be pick 6 given Lions father son pick Levi Ashcroft should be pick 2 or 3. 

    I think top 4 is clearly Finn O’Sullivan, Jagga Smith, Luke Trainor and Sid Draper. 

    Prime choices are “live pick 5” Harvey Langford, Sam Lalor, Xavier Lindsay or Josh Smillie. (In that order for me)

    Fantastic draft for us to have pick 5. Midfield heavy with minimal seperation at the top. Has the potential to re-energise our midfield to continue the premiership window

    If the entire footballing world can see that we are not just a HBF away from finals, I pray that our club can to.

    If we cough up pick 5 for Houston, one good thing is the club has no home base for the supporters to burn down.

    If we did this trade and flounder again next year, it would also guarantee the end for Goody/Pert/Richo etc

    if the draft is deep this year we should look at trading our future first for another top 10 pick. You would think we are attractive as quite possible next years pick could be high as well. Maybe Freo will trade with us? Deathride them again. that would be fun.

    Murphy Reid looks a bit small for modern footy.

    Whose the tallest from this potential crop?

    We have to take this pick to the draft and pick up a quality midfielder who can play in the red & blue for the next 10 years. While I rate Houston and some of the other potential trade targets, none of them are more valuable than this pick.

    Praying Alan Richardson goes back on his earlier comment about trading our pick for older players. Our list management has been good in the past, got to back them in to pick a future gun.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
