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??)

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
