Wow. 
I was initially hoping for Jagga at pick 5, but after watching this highlights package I think Draper has leapfrogged him.

The only thing with Draper is that I just can’t see Adelaide not taking him if he’s still there. He is definitely a top talent and it wouldn’t even surprise me if Richmond take him at pick 2 after this rumoured pick swap with North.

83 - Slim  

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

I hear he’s a bit of a fat boy.

5. Hope Draper slides to us but would take Smith - Looking for Round 1 impact and point of difference in our mix.

9. I am leaning towards Smillie, think if he gets to work in an AFL system he’s a real weapon with his size and kicking - I am ok with him ending up a 195cm HBF with a long and accurate kick if that’s how it shakes out

Kinda hoping for the flying Viking at 5

The joint would go into meltdown about not taking a mid at 5. But he reminds me of a young N riewoldt, D Schwarz, P Knights. Blonde haired aerialists. There's just something good about them

Never fear HT,  a pre-season with Steve Moneghetti will get those skin fold numbers right down.

Just rewatched a Smith and Langford highlight reel, Langford every day of the week. For some reason I watch Smith and can’t help but think he’s a newer model of Caleb Daniel.

 

Pick 5: Smith or Langford

pick 9: Smillie or Allen 

If we pick Langford then Allen for pick 9

If we pick Smith then Smillie for pick 9

5. LALOR/DRAPER/LANGFORD/SMITH

9. If one of the above is still available take him if not SMILIE/TRAVAGLIA/ALLAN/SHANAHAN

83. DENNIS

Exactly what I see BA. I try to tell myself that at least Smith will be a more damaging, upgraded version, but I just can't unsee the same 'posession first' mentality. I'm sure he still would be a good pick up, but there maybe more genuine match winners available at pick 5.

I see very minimal hurt factor with Jagga. He sure gets a lot of it, but there isn’t much wow factor with his disposals.

His ability to keep finding the ball is amazing, however. But give me quality over quantity.

Langford looks like a bloke ready to dominate AFL footy

Scully used to rack up possessions at junior level too based on his running. 

Smith looks better but not sure how much. If you don’t have the frame and height you need to be excellent at everything else in the midfield

I was making that comparison too Dub

  On 10/11/2024 at 09:04, whatwhat say what said:

based on these highlights it's hard to see him not being afl-ready 

it's also hard to see him lasting until our first pick

Strongly agree & reluctantly agree.

I find funny everyone is a draft expert this time of year and 95% of people just repeat what they read or hear

Agree Adonski, it’s almost like only 5% of people don’t repeat what they read or hear

I don’t think too many on here consider themselves experts. We’re just mug punters who have watched a handful of u tube clips and have an opinion, an addiction to the game and the MFC. A few would have watched some games live but the majority don’t have the time.

Get this kid to the club.

Watching these clips again make me want Langford and Hynes. The latter is on the end of a lot of Langford's bullets.

If Langford had pace he'd IMO be so far ahead of any of the others as a number pick 1.

I think his lack of pace is overstated though. He's got that burst of acceleration when he hits the contest. He's got great hands, a beautiful kick, a great overhead mark and he kicks goals. He's very likely to be an A+ AFL player IMO.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
