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

Houston?


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.

I effin hope not,  not with pick 5 anyway 

pick the best available footballer no matter his position,  Houston with other movers perhaps bug nog pick 5.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
