"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.

    Draft under way, so, @Demonland, amend thread title now?

    We've taken Molly O with our first pick. She'll be great for us.

    Georgie Brisbane didn't get as far as the Lions' first pick.

    Molly O'Hehir and Maggie Mahony: they sound like a couple of Irish jigs!

    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
