Taylor has an unbelievable set of hands and strong IQ and body positioning. I wonder if he’s ever been trialled up forward. Looks like a serious player.

He has played in defence the last few years

    I spoke to a top 10 draftee lock today who I have coached, some insights:

    Dovaston - Hawthorn or Adelaide likely.

    Farrow - Yeah he is alright.

    Dursma - Very laid back, lots of talent , similar to his 2 brothers.

    Cumming - Richmond have serious interest.

    X Taylor - Richmond or Melbourne.

    Nairn - Never heard of him, yeah apparently Melb have told him they are going to take him.

    Cal Twomey - he is a ripper fella, might be hard to get the top 10 right this year.

    Pretty big pump up of Farrow 😁

    Dons getting 9 could scupper our chances of Farrow. Given they would be aware we won’t pick Sharp, so they pick Farrow before we do. That would suck (if you’re a fan of him😂)

    Would you think it would likely move to Nairn + Pickett, assuming Farrow is gone and the order largely falls as expected prior?

    Think Nairn is a lock no matter what happens. But yes the Pickett situation opens up more than it ever has if Taylor, Cumming, Farrow is gone.

    There was a rumour that Richmond made the journey to Mildura to meet with Cumming

    Sounds like X Taylor gets through Essendon, and Sharp gets through Melbourne

    The only incentive Essendon have to take Sharp with picks 5/6, is if they think we will trade pick 8 to someone who wants him

    I remember last year the view was Smillie would get through to the pick that Richmond ended up using on Taj Hotton, but that the risk of someone trading up was too great for them to not select him early

    That’s definitely my read on it too

    I’m big on Taylor so for me I’d love Richmond to pass on him so that he falls to us, but not sure if they’d take a Robey / Cumming double if the rumours are true

    Great intel Viney.

    What team is the top 10 lock likely to go to?

    Is he a good kid?

    We aren't using pick 7 on Pickett. This is a Demonland fantasy

    8 - Grilj. He hasn't been linked to Melbourne per say but he fits the criteria King is looking for.

    If Robey gets through Richmond, and Essendon trade for pick 9, I wonder if Essendon would do 7,8 + GC F1, for 5,9 and maybe a swap of our 37 for one of their other picks depending on what picks they use for pick 9.

    We get Robey and Nairn.

    We supposedly don’t rate him highly (I don’t know why though)

    Agreed

    As mentioned it mean they let Sharp slip past us to pick 9, and grab one of our targets with 5/6

    It's all coming up Latrelle!!!! Unless X Taylor gets thru that is

    There is zero talk of this outside of Demonland.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
