Dom Brew could be in the mix with this pick (Werribee Captain, 2024 JJ Liston winner).

    Mail, or speculating? He'd provide a pretty good Viney impersonation in the event Jack was injured or needed a week off.

    Heard some credible mail on this, though in reality when you're getting down the draft order that far it just becomes  more and more speculative IMO (I know that sounds like I'm not committing).

    Clubs like to cry poor about the unfairness of Northern academies and F/S then they puss out on keeping them honest.

    yeah, everyone is saying this kid is elite

    i believe he's the first underage kid to play in three consecutive u/18 premierships in a row...and be one of the best players all three years

    how he's not universally acknowledged as the consensus #1 pick i have no idea

    totally agree. they know Brisbane will take him. make them pay full price. hes tipped to go pick 5 which is a lot cheaper than pick 1 or 2. 

    this is what happens when ex-footballers have to use their brain. well we never really were going to get him, so we didnt interview him, so wont bid. yeah great logic.

    Sounds like a player that will immediately add midfield depth and can perhaps play a tagging role if required. After losing Harmes and Jordan we could use his type.

    There are good reasons not to bid.

    Pick 1 is a special award and also has a prize attached.

    Clubs may also want to signal to the player they pick that he's really wanted, not second choice.

    What goes around, comes around is a reason too.

    Yeah, I think that’s how he’d be viewed. I spoke about this in another thread so don’t necessarily want to hijack this one, but given the departures of JJ, Harmes, ANB, Hunter, and Gus (and to a lesser extent, Jackson), we’ve lost a lot of the pinch hitters and midfield depth and versatility that is needed. That showed significantly through this season with absence of Petracca and limitations of Oliver’s output.

    I understand the not wanting to bid pick 1 or 2, as those players receive a bonus from the AFL. After that though.........

    I’d have him 3rd in line for Werribee players, would surprise me

    After listening to his interview on SEN, all 18 sets of supporters would love to give this guy a chance as a late pick.

    Went from not getting a game for Albury to Liston VFL medal winner as a 27 year old. Apparently recently wrote a letter to all 18 clubs and is the type of bloke that won’t accept no for an answer.

    Could be this year’s Sean Mannagh (or could simply not be an AFL standard player??)

    Was unaware #2 also got a bonus
    But other teams, c'mon

    Hey posters - this thread is for our Round 5 pick currently 79.

    Yes, and it will come in depending on where bids are made and nga kids are selected, which dilutes the draft of later picks

    In to 75 with a couple of bids to come. Go you good thing

    • Haha 1

    I have no idea who the Demons will choose with pick #75?

    Ideally, it should be a key defender. Especially, in preparation for the long-term replacement of Steven May at full back.

    I have faith in Jason Taylor choosing an obscure "smokey" that none of us have ever heard of.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
