    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
