Welcome to Demonland: Pick 9



Recommended Posts

Rookie me September 2022 Rankings had Jeffo at 11.  As you can see his output was OK despite a leg injury for part of the season.. He was a skinny kid was always going to take a few years to play at the AFL level as a KPF. That is the reason he has been given 2 full seasons at VFL level. 

THE LEAN MARKING MACHINE

A skinny tall forward who proves proficient in the air, Jefferson is one of the key position players with the most upside in this year’s group. Though his production isn’t as high as others just yet, the 18-year-old is mobile at 195cm and offers great range with his lanky frame. Already a clean marker of the ball, he has some filling out to do and while he can play at both ends of the ground or on a wing, looks a likely type up forward.

LAST MONTH:

Though it has since been revealed he was playing through injury, Jefferson still managed to hit the scoreboard in his few games in August. Two bags of five goals rounded out his school football season, before he snared four in the final NAB League regular season round. He managed 3.3 the next week, and his leg injury perhaps accounts for the otherwise low production numbers outside of his goalkicking for the Chargers.

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.

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

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 😉

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney.

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s

    2024 Player Reviews: #27 Marty Hore

    The versatile defender who can play as a tall interceptor and also take on smaller opponents got his second chance this year but injuries prevented him from getting a regular place in the Melbourne team and managed to add only seven games to his AFL tally this year.

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.
