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 

  • Quote

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
