"I just really loved the tackling"

That's what we like to hear!

Also good that she's already had a year out of school, so hopefully a bit better prepared for a move across.

    Original draft picks: 10, 28, 46, 64.

    Current draft picks: 2, 20, 46, 64. 

    That is a seriously good upgrade of 1st and 2nd round picks albeit we lost Lily Mithen.

    Presumably we will use at least the first 3 picks as 46 should come in after bid matching.

    Anyone know how many list spots we have?

     

    Edit:  it seems #46 was traded out.  Still not a bad pick trade result.

    A few more questons:

    • Does AFLW still have State based drafting?
    • If they do I assume our picks 20, 46 etc will become higher for Vic/National players, if i/state clubs pick a player from their State?

    @Lucifers Hero no more started based drafting - it's a national draft this year.

    And I think we also traded out pick 46 as part of the Mithen deal.

    Many thanks.

    I also thought 46 was gone but the AFL has it still with us.

    I think they’ve left the AFLW trade tracker & draft order updates to the work experience kids. Errors all over the place, but 46 did go out in the trade. Think it’s the one pick we sent out that stayed with GC.

    If I'm calculating correctly, assuming we retain all the remaining listed players from this season (not factoring a potential Paxy retirement), that's 27. Add back in A.Mackin and Hose from the inactive list and remove their replacements, D.Taylor and Hill, back to 27. Beasley presumably goes to the inactive list as 1 year post ACL will be mid-September. 26.

    So 4 list spots, including 1 injury replacement. Potentially we sign D.Taylor back on.

    The article on our website says 46 is gone. I doubt we'd get that wrong!

    Flash Davey’s niece, Tatyana Perry is in the draft crop this year. Was into Dees because uncle Aaron was with us, tipped to go in the 25-40 range. In other drafts she’d probably be well in first rd contention, but this is an especially strong group. Speed and skill is Tatyana’s calling card, good by foot too:

    It would be great to snaffle her at 20 if available!

    Sarah Black's draft preview here:

    https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1263082/sarah-blacks-draft-late-mail-who-will-your-club-pick

    Based on this:

    Pick 2: Fish or O'Hehir (outside chance Painter - comparison is Bri Davey)

    Pick 20: Linked to Grace Martin, a small utility (though after about 10, things seems variable so could be some surprises here)

    I haven't seen any of these girls but hope we go with O"Hehir as we need a big, classy mid...

    It's the one area where we get beaten up.

    Agree O'Hehir looks to be that type we lack, and that all the best contenders have: tall, explosive, good kick, aerially sound.

    Fish could add some real pace and athleticism to our midfield (also needed), but I'm not sure we should be adding yet another player around the 160cm mark, especially a light one even more easily pushed off the footy? Yet clearly she's a talent...

    Types like Painter at 2 or Martin at 20 make sense to bolster our more contested mid depth. We're still one injury away from oblivion in that area.

    The other major gaps to fill at some point would be an intercept defender and perhaps a back-up ruck to take Watt's place?

    Sounds like a good year to be a Victorian club with a high pick as the draft goes national.... in theory. But I do wonder how difficult it will be to retain interstate players.

    Meggs is keenest on Molly O'Hehir (strong reboudning defender) with pick 2, though Lu Painter (Bendigo Pioneers, tough utility) could be a smoky here.

    The helmeted Sarah Poustie (indefatigable mid) at 20 looks a great fit for us, while Charlotte Brewer (at 64, if she's still available, will add nicely to our skilled running brigade).

    We can't wait to hear who Todd selects tonight.  There is no doubt these players will add to our already dynamic group and we can expect a strong rebound in 2025.

    A couple of home-grown Colleens to go with our wonderful cohort of imported ones!

    Several draftees (mostly outside Vic) saying they picked up footy during Covid. Interesting.

    Summary so far:

    OUT

    Mithen, Pick 10, Pick 28, Pick 46

    Watt (retired)

    Madigan (delisted)

    Hill (delisted inj. rep.)

    A.Mackin (remains inactive - possibly indefinitely?)

     

    IN

    Pick 3 O'Hehir

    Pick 21 Mahony

    Pick 63 Dethridge

    Hose (returns to active list)

     

    Assuming Beasley is also inactive, that leaves two spots, to possibly retain Denby Taylor and add one more.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
