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: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
