Yep. Hotton going to be a jet

I reckon it would have been a toss up between Lindsay and Hotton

Really interesting that both our draft picks so far are great kicks. With Windsor last year, it seems our "best available" philosophy comes with a qualification about good foot skills. 

love it, Travis Johnston and Aaron Davey would carve teams up with with the rest of the squad we have to put around them.

Good kicking never goes out of style.

Ha, my wife thought it was weird seeing some of the young boys drinking at the draft.  Not he AFL squeaky image  :) 

how strange. 18 year olds can drink any time

I guess when you get older the kids seem younger!

It's gotta be paired with an ability to win contest though, and the club obviously believes that's the case with Lindsay, just as it is the case with Windsor.

Saints going with 2 defenders at 8&9 is interesting 

But they have always been poor down back so I think it will pay off

What was the trade Port did with West Coast?

I need to learn stay off the MFC social media pages, reading supporter comments. NFI.

 

I'm assuming fans are asking why we didn't select 2 key forwards?

It’s a wing/mid and CHF if they want it to be though.

At AFL level Travaglia really profiles as a big midfielder and Lindsay a half back, despite them playing the opposite roles now.

You assume correctly

”we don’t need more midfielders”

Port gave up 16 and 45 for West Coast pick 15 based on what was displayed on the fox telecast. 

It doesn't make sense to me. Port give away pick 45 for nothing unless they knew west coast were going to take Berry which seemed unlikely with Bo Allan on the board.

My thoughts as well. I am surprised that Allan dropped a bit.

I do hope that we are keeping in touch with the ones that were interested in before the draft. Dropping players like Tauru, Hotton, Smith, Faull, Hynes and Armstrong an email or call to congratulate them and let them know were will be watching their development with interest.

It amazes me how posters on here claim to be ‘experts’ on the draft picks. Did you all attend junior footy matches galore???? Have we picked another Toumpas, Cale Morton or Gysberts? You wouldn’t have a clue.

Wtf north traded there future first for pick 27 total insanity, by that logic we would have got it for one of the 2nd round picks we gave Essendon

I think it’s more the case Freo were going to trade for the pick and take berry so port had to out bid them

I really wish we were able to hang to pick 28 as part of the Bombers pick 9 trade. There's plenty of good talent left on the board including Shanahan and Whitlock.

On the plus side, cheers Essendon for pick 9 (11)! Xavier Lindsay looks a player!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
