I suspected this might be the case. Tauru to me seems like a JT pick. If it’s just a message we are putting out & not reality, it could cause North to take him at 2, and we get another mid to pick from at 5.

    Agree if they want Tauru our best position is them not being confident he gets passed our pick 5  forcing them to take him at 2. This increases the midfielder options available to us at pick 5.

    My guess is our draft board (minus academy etc) looks something like:

    Band 1- Lalor, (?FOS),
    Band 2 - Langford, Tauru

    Band 3 - in some order  (?Smillie, Draper, Smith) Allan, Lindsay, Reid, Armstrong

    If Langford is gone we take Tauru knowing one of the mids will be there at 9.

    But Langford is plan A and Tauru going at 2 helps with that. Then it’s a matter of what we do at 9.

    If Langford and Tauru are both gone that’s when we perhaps get creative on how we get the best combination of our third band of players.

    The big plus with Tauru is hes a November birth and his rate of improvement late was huge. He basically playing against everyone older then himself, and if you take Jagga Smith who is a Jan birth, at times 10 months difference which at this stage of a players development can considerable make a big difference.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
