Does anyone know who we were aiming to draft when we traded up and got Tholstrop?

At the moment the only thing that suggests that we weren't going to get Tholstrop is that we did a late dash to his home in W.A which suggests we got word that our target wouldn't be available.

2 reasons.

1) we never wanted to use that pick. It was the highest pick we could get and the trade was Windsor, Kolt, and Langford picks for pick 1 (Reid). Im not sure in hindsight it was worth it, but we don’t end up with pick 5(?) in the Langford year if we had Reid. We had too many close games he would have had an influence on.

2) Taylor believed (and so did everyone else) the pool became very, very shallow after pick 15. And that’s borne out to be true somewhat bar a few notable exceptions. Remembering we turned down the offer to trade down from the Windsor pick as Adelaide wanted Curtain. Leake was also in our sights at the Kolt pick if he was off the board. Not sure why we didn’t have Wilson up there.

    I'm surprised so many people think Oliver can get back to the player he was. I was hopeful at the start of the year but we're now two and a half years since seeing him play at a consistently high level. His best this year was just okay and I tend to think that's the player he is now.

    I hope King can get him back but I'm not holding my breath.

    I'm the same. I think the best we can hope for is about the same but with much less nervous nowhere handballing.

    If we look at his last couple of games this season there was a marked improvement.

    A clear preseason and there's no reason Clarrie can't get back to his best.

    It was always going to be a couple of year project...

    Clarry's last few games, from about Round 20 were getting back to his extraction standard and his ability to wrack up possessions and tackles, which is not surprisingly linked with fitness.

    If he has another uninterrupted pre season, Clarry will be back IMO. Bookmark it.

    List on Zero Hanger states that Darcy Gardiner has been delisted.

    Unsure if this is true or not, because everything else I found says he’s contracted for 2026.

    If he is delisted, wouldn’t be a bad look in for another tall swingman.

    Agree with you both. Just raising what the site says. I am not sure it’s right but if so, a decent option.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.
