30 right now. Carlton and West Coast have picks that might get chewed up but most academy bids now will push it back. Probably ends up 33-35

Reckon Hawks take Greeves

No.... you haven't, but I'm sure Rivers, Sparrow and an ageing Viney will do the job!☠️

27 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

yes, those two midfielders led us to 14th two years in a row

they weren't part of the solution moving forward

steele brings experience to accompany viney, while the likes of pickett, rivers, windsor, tholstrup, langford, lindsay, etc. are the future

Understand & nothing against the boys they picked who both look good

Who do we want now with next pick?

The next Neitz or Schwartz or Lyon .. can’t remember the last gun fwd we drafted apart from Hogan who didn’t hang around

The media get so much wrong.

Yes, I’m quietly enjoying how so many so called draft “experts” have been so inaccurate with this years edition.

Also like that not many picked us to take LSP at 12, so at least we have stopped some leaking as well.

I also hope Latrelle wasn’t picked partially to keep Kozzie.

Does it matter if he was, at least in part? Both will benefit, and as such, the club will benefit.

I suspect it's because of the evenness of the draftees after the first couple and outside of the Academy and F/S picks. And given that evenness, that clubs are drafting for need.

Omg what is happening! We've just doubled our Picketts!

King should play them both in de fence.

Hawks traded 9 for 10 and 22 in trade week.

Trade 10 back with GWS for a future 2nd. Traded it again with WC for another future 2nd.

Traded a future 3rd to slide their second pick up.

I reckon that’s incredible manipulation of the draft.

They’ll end up with Nairn, Schubert, 2 figure seconds in a much better draft. We’ve got Latrelle.

With all respect, this was not the best choice. Hope he proves me wrong, but we had other needs.

What are those needs?

Are there better midfield options next year?

Will there be better small fwd options next year?

Who are our current small fwd options considering we need Kosi on ball? Who brings that fwd half pressure?

MASSIVE MISTAKE!!

Was it you pleading with posters to be patient with Jefferson this year?

Just now, The Taciturn Demon said:

Who do we hope is there at our pick tomorrow?

Do we know what that pick will now be?

Hibbins-Hargreaves perhaps

Hard to cover all needs but we just don’t seem draft key fwds that ever work out

Is there some curious chemistry between Cal and Nat? Bit of bantar, almost awkward hostility between them...anyone else notice this? Do they not like each other?? Cal is a bit of a strange duck...the more important issues of draft night!

Nat looked like she should be asking us to pick from the round, square or arched window.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
