One of these will happen imo. Hopefully with Richmond

 

Understand Richmond might seek to consolidate a bit but surely they’ll be looking to spread that bounty out over two drafts, not just improve their hand here.

    This video is a bit old (6 days old), so it doesn't take into account our Pick 9 trade swap. But it is interesting, showing all of the potential type of trades teams (including us), could be involved in.

    The Things Richmond & St Kilda Would Do For Sam Lalor...

     

    Hope Lalor is there for us at 5…. JT is good at spotting good players but can’t think of many elite leaders we’ve brought in during his time and that is what we need to start banking

    Yeah I’m hoping we get Lalor too, but I’m guessing he goes at pick 1. Maybe we split 9, and trade up to pick 2?

    Keep 5. Keep 9.  Keep “65”. 

    likely draft order is

    1-Lalor (tigers) 2- Ashcroft* (lions father son ) 3- Tauru (NMFC) 4- O’Sullivan (blues) 5- Draper (crows) 

    6/ Dees … look at Smith, Smillie or Langford.  Tough decision.  All are very good.
    Langford probably is the one to take.  

    7/Tigers would grab Smith

    8/Saints would grab Smillie

    9/ Lombard* bid … Suns academy match  

    10/ Saints likely to take Harry Armstrong 

    11/ Dees … it’s either Lindsay or Travaglia. Either would be great additions for “9”. They are both running outside types but can win the footy too (Lindsay plays like Josh Kelly, Travaglia plays like Trent Rivers). Outside chance Murphy Reid

    I am amazed Langford isn't more linked to pick 1, given he's a bigger body mid who can go forward and grew up a mad Tigers fan.

    Hopefully it stays that way and we can take him at 5

    What I find stranger is the assumption the Crom will simply take Draper given he's from S.A

    Good overhead grab, great kick.

    If we manage to snaffle 2 out of Lalor, Langford and Tauru, we’d have done extremely well

    Everything I see of Langford and Reid they look clean and skilled but just look so slow compared to the others. It’s really drawing me away from rating them with others.  

    Really hoping for one Lalor or Smith to slip to us at 5 and then take one of Travaglia or Lyndsay at 9.

    I think Langford might be a champion regardless of the lack of pace. Gonna be really interesting to see how he's rated come draft night.

    I'm hoping Jagga drifts out to P5. Would require Norf going early on a tall with pick 2. As well as Adelaide ignoring him. Maybe wishful thinking unfortunately.

    I’ve seen him linked, along with Lalor and FOS. I reckon they’re a clear top 3 and only North’s need for a tall will see Tauru slot in with them.

    Carlton moving up the obvious link is they think FOS is there at 3, but they’d probably be just as happy for Lalor or perhaps even Langford

    At this stage I’d probably predict it goes:

    Rich - Lalor
    North - Tauru
    Carl - FOS
    Adel - Langford
    Melb - ???
    OR

    Rich - Langford
    North - Tauru
    Carl/Adel - FOS/Lalor
    Melb - ????

    I’m actually ready for a Jase Taylor special at 5. One of the on ballers will make it to 9

    In that scenario I’d take Draper at 5

    If North are comfortable we won’t take Tauru, I reckon they’ll split the pick with Tiges for p6 (+ one of their other bazillion picks).

    That's the main worry for mine. Could see tigers taking both Lalor and Langford in this scenario.

    @DeeSpencer Crows would be crazy not to pick Draper if available. Hometown kid.   He’s the complete package as a midfielder.  Pace.  Skills. Smart.  He’s the equal of any of the other young stars.  If he’s there at “4” for  Crows, lock him in.

    soemthing came out a few weeks ago about him saying in an interview that he would prefer not to bed drafted to Adelaide after the way they treated Rachelle . Can’t confirm if that was legit or if the crows would even care .

    He and his management have said those rumours were untrue, for whatever that's worth

    I just wonder how much Richmond will care to pay up if North have telegraphed their pick. Richmond might well say, go ahead, take your guy at 2 and we’ll have someone fall out.

    They’d probably make an offer of something like 2 and 24 but there’s less incentive for Richmond to really push hard.

    I wouldn’t be overly upset to see Draper available at pick 5 😉

    North have 2 and 62 and nothing in between.

    Sorry I meant Richmond would make a token offer for 2 of 6 and 24.

    Unless they love their top 2 picks on the board they aren’t all that incentivised to help North out.

    My guess is it'll be out of Lindsay and Bo Allan for this pick.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
