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

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
