All rookies?

What about an "above 60 pick team"? Put in Hird and Bruce for starters.

All started on the rookie list.

We have a winner. ;)

The only problem was having to fashion a make shift full forward, but gee I'd kill for that backline.

Excellent!!

So Graz, why are we wasting our time with these useless high picks this year then? ;)

Couldn't you sneak in Russell Robertson? I think he was rookied at one stage.

It's got me beat... apparently pick 14 is useless. :lol:

Sorry Maurie... didn't qualify... We originally used a fourth round pick and my criteria are set in stone. :D

Graz - i made up a similar team a few weeks ago. Looks like I missed a few good players.

B: Carroll Rutten Bassett

HB: Kenelly Michael Lockyer

C: C. Fletcher J. McDonald M. Johnson

HF: Rioli Robertson Pearce

FF: Davey Q. Lynch Milne

Ruck: Cox Kirk Sewell

Int: Sandilands Lovett-Murray Rooke Bock

Sorry I missed that one... didn't mean to steal your thunder.... looks like I might've missed some as well Kirk and Kenneally - geez I reckon I'd be able to slot them in. I didn't include Bassett or Michael, because ... well just because.

Here is my team

Kane Munro, Michael J. Clark, Marcus Pickett

Steven Greene, Blake Campbell, Allen Murray

Jeremy Humm, Rod Crowe, Tom Davidson

Ben Finnin, Simon Cox, Josh Houlihan

Darren Walsh, Brad Murphy, Scott Bassett

Tim Fleming, Bill Nicholls, Greg Edgcumbe, Josh Thewlis

See what they have in common...they are all crap and went after 25. The reality is that after 20 or so its really about the quality of the recruiters. Collingwood have been able to capitalise over the last few years as has geelong. Sure there are some good players after 25 but they are harder to find. We can't tell yet how good Bailey and the recruitment boys are at spotting hidden talent. So until then lets just be happy with our top 3 picks and hope they don't stuff them up!

Much better than the Meesen thread

No thunder stolen. I actually meant i wrote it elsewhere, not on demonland

Hang on while I make a team of Top 10 picks that were crap ... Sampi, Molan, Walsh, Bradley, Tenace, Chris Egan in recent drafts just for starters. What point exactly are you making with these teams?

The chances of a good pick are never 100%, even for pick 1 (we might get a dud for pick 14). They are probably something like 95% for pick 1, 90% for top 5, 75% for first round, 60% for second round, 50% for third round and <40% for fourth round and later.

So the chances diminish the further down the picks you go, until the fourth round is nearly all speculative. That's the luck of the process ... educated guessing. Until you realise that, logic goes out the window when trying to make any sense at all of good or failed picks.

Notice a common thread amongst these top ten picks.

4 Mark Bolton, 6 James Walker, 7 Kris Massie

10 Shane O'Bree, 4 Ryan Fitzgerald, 5 Michael Stevens

6 Murray Vance, 10 Brandon Hill, 3 Aaron Fiora

5 Leigh Brown, 6 Damian Cupido, 7 Danny Roach

9 Caydn Beetham, 4 Luke Livingston, 5 Andrew McDougall

6 Dylan Smith, 7 Laurence Angwin, 10 Jordan McMahon

6 Ashley Sampi, 9 Luke Molan, 10 Sam Power, 4 Tim Walsh,8 Luke Brennan, 4 Farren Ray, 6 Kepler Bradley, 7 Kane Tenace, 9 David Trotter

Damn i wish we got rid of pick 4 :blink:

damn u.

Well that's just completely wrong - Craig Cameron is reponsible for recruiting and he's been there for quite a while and has a track record we can judge ...

The following players were drafted (or traded) onto our current list after pick 25:

B: Whelan Carroll Warnock

HB: CJ Rivers Ferguson

C: Buckley McDonald Bode

HF: Garland Miller Davey

F: Robertson Newton PJ

R: Jamar Bruce Bartram

I: Meesen Hughes Weetra

Enough said!

And don't forget that Mitchell played VFL before becoming the clearance machine he is now.

Brent Prismall was drafted (number 32 overall) in the 2004 National Draft.

My bad, It was the next player on the Geelong list Max Rooke that was the Rookie draft. Doesn't matter though. I'd have to put in Kirk for him... not a bad replacement. The point being there are a lot of very, very good players available every year in the second and third rounds of the draft, to say that it's a thin draft and we won't get anything good after the first round is just plain stupid. There always is, and as pointed out it comes back to the quality of your recruiting staff. If Anyone's up for the challenge, see if you can't construct your best team of first round draftees compared to second and third round draftees. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
