Now that we have a draft order of sorts that isn’t going to depart too far from the one that will apply on the first night of the 2025 AFL National Draft, it’s time for some Phantom Drafts. I found this one on Zero Hanger but it’s hard to navigate through its clicks.

    Always fun to read through them but none are worth the paper they're not written on aside from Twomey's

    My criticism is that I don’t believe we should be drafting a tall forward unless one presented himself as absolutely outstanding ie a best available player.

    On that basis I wouldn’t take Schubert ahead of Duff-Tytler who some have as high as top 2.

    Jamie Duursma played for Melbourne. His brother Dean, father of the current crop, only appeared at Under 19 and Reserves level.

    Leave it to Taylor as absolute top talent likely to be gone before we arrive.

    Personally just like to see us pick up of adaptable ,big strong bodies who are quick, tough competitors and hit targets.

    Re smalls we are fortunate to have Viney,Ozzie, Chandler,Tholstrop, Laurie .

    The latter two should see more opportunity under new coach.

    CDT is too good to be passed on by any of the clubs above us. Richmond supporters I know are praying he makes it to them, and even wondering if they can orchestrate a trade from 3 to 2 to grab him. Their ruck depth IMO is less than afl standard (after Nank it’s just Samson Ryan and then untried Mate Colina) and this guy is in that Jackson type basket.

    And Essendon just lost their first ruck to FA (would be laughing if they basically gave up Draper for a pick that landed them a better replacement)

    JT would call it out in 0.007 second. CDT is a prototype tall utility … ruck/chb/midfielder/chf. He can play anywhere.

    That zero hanger 'one pick per reload the page' format is a proper bonfire, thank you for grinding it out for us.

    Duff-Tytler sliding would be a marvel and an abomination. I'd happily live trade 6 and downgrade 7 to nudge up a couple of spots to get him.

    I feel like we'll be watching the draft with some 'acceptable' picks in mind but desperately hoping for a slider.

    Mate Colina

    Old Mate has already been delisted at Tigerland.

    There is a compelling case for Richmond to snaffle the Duff.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
