What’s your pick Mouseymoo?

Glad you asked. 

I've got two preferred combinations, and I'll list them in order;

Preference 1 combo; 

Smith/Travalia - Pace, drive, tenacity and agility. I see Smith as the perfect accumulator and distributor who will deliver it to our forwards with aplomb and Travaglia a perfect accomplice being a jack Russell in defence running up and down between the arcs providing much needed pressure. 

Preference 2 combo;

Langford/Allen. For all of Langfords silk, skill, grunt and iq you've got Allen's freak athleticism and flare to compliment. 

 

Smith and Travalia for me. 

 

If Jagga gets through to our first pick it’s him 100%. Then ideally a Bo Allan or Josh Smillie.

If not Jagga then I’d go Langford and then Reid at 9.

In both scenarios you get a smaller, consistent ball winner with good hand and foot skills and pair him with a big bodied athlete with a high ceiling.

No matter what I’d be going 2 mids.

Smith or Langford at 5 - who ever slips.

Travaglia or Allan at 9 for speed and power off half back and potential mid.

5 - Langford just over Tauru. Really hoping one of them is available 

9 - Hannaford. This kid is legit. Speedy, explosive, one touch, physical. He’ll be a quality small forward who transitions to a good midfielder once he builds his tank.

 

83 - Tye Hourigan 

As far as I can tell, Hourigan didn't nominate, so pick another smokey

Toss up between Smith and Langford at 5 such different players. I think I would lean towards Langford has just a hint of Bont about him. 
Smith would likely go to the Tigers at 6. 
We would be left with either Smillie, Travagalia or Reid at 9 after the 2 Saints selections.


5 - Smith, next best Langford

9 - Smilie, next best Hotton

Trading into the draft to take a kid who won't play for the bulk of the year would be an interesting call

Hotton would be a bold call for sure. I'm thinking longer term though. I think our windows shut now and we're building the core of our next premiership team.

Trac did his ACL preseason and missed entire first year. Didn't stop him becoming a superstar and Norm Smith medalist. Hotton is a talent, but how talented is hard to judge.

AFL clubs are apparently super keen to draft him and he’s not keen, got to respect that.

83 - Ajang Kuol mun (Geelong vfl)

5 Harry Armstrong - DL meltdown will trump the second coming. Picket to lead the the insurrection. 

9 Xavier Lindsay - no idea really won the Morrish medal.

83 Slim Dusty

God I hope not (coming from someone who has very little idea, so chances are they end up the 2 best players in the draft 🤣).

Mine would be Draper and Langford.

5. Draper/Smith/Langford in that order

9. Tauru (who’ll be gone) so Allen or Travaglia

so what’s your bet on who we’ll pick at 5 and 9?


smith or langford a genuine 50/50 for me

anyone but allan at 9 purely because i dont want to get heartbroken by another WA boy (Tobie please)

Out of curiousity, if Richmond take someone other than Lalor, where does he go? Does everyone in here flip to him?

Feel like this is massively likely. And it’s FOS instead. Minor possibility for Smith.

Carl can’t go past Lalor if he’s there.

If Rich go for Smith. We might be FOS.

Personally, I like FOS and then Langford as the two best players in the draft.

I think it will be Smith & Travaglia, and would be happy with that result.

Langford and Bo Allan.

Both add size and some difference to our midfield.


Double take

5 - Armstrong

Loves blowing his own trumpet, does a half decent moonwalk and wants to win at any cost.

9 - Xavier Lindsay 

Has a great Australian novel in him or as a fallback can paint nudes.

83 - Slim  

Would be a great addition, immediately enhances club culture. Get him in.

The two who have made an impression in my mind are Smith and Smillie. Might be a bit optimistic to imagine both making it to 5 and 9, respectively, but that's where my head is.

Last year I was disappointed we didn't take Curtin, but I am thrilled about the prospects for Windsor. I'm pretty chill about it all. This ain't no Prendergast sausage factory we're running.

5 - Harvey Langford

9 - Xavier Lindsay

A strong combination of inside/outside, both great kicks and one can float forward and the other can play behind the ball when they aren’t in the midfield.

 

From what Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb have said, they will take best available talent.

For pick #5 I am thinking either Jagga Smith or Harvey Langford. Both amazingly talented players and a lot will depend upon who Richmond,  North Melbourne, Carlton and Adelaide take before us.

For pick #9 I am thinking one of four players. It could be Xavier Lindsay who is an elite kick and very underrated, it could be Murphy Reid who oozes talent with his decision making skills, it could be Josh Smillie who has the potential to be the next Marcus Bontempelli or, lastly, it could be Taj Hotton, who showed he is supremely talented before he got injured earlier in the season. A lot will also depend upon who Richmond and St. Kilda choose with their picks.

Who ever the Demons pick, I have huge faith in Jason Taylor and the rest of the Recruitment Team who I am sure will do their due diligence.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
