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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
