Channel 10 reported that Cale Morton is almost certain to be drafted by Richmond with pick 2.

That means that the Eagles are the only club standing in our way of getting Cotchin.

Now given what Cotchin's dad had to say about his son moving West, there is a chance that West Coast will go for a local WA kid.

Cross your fingers and toes that things pan out this way and we land Cotchin. That would be an absolute miracle!

That was [censored], a complete and utter media beatup. They will take him at Pick 3 if he doesn't go at Pick 2.

Surely Selwood wont be still available at 14? if so he is a must as he is apparently the best out of the lot of them i've heard

I've heard that too, but I've heard elsewhere (and the fact that most mock drafts have him 10+ would seem to agree with this) that in fact Joel is the best. The other three are regarded primarily as tagging players; Joel is the only one with natural creativity and a bit of genius.

As I said on my Cotchin thread he will get to us only if Tigers take Morton and Eagles are scared, after Judd situation, in risking another Victorian with their first pick. Given the comments in the paper they have every reason to be concerned as Cotchin could do a Judd after two years.

PICK 4: ?

PICK 14: ?

PICK 21: ?

PICK 53: ?

PICK 69: ?

PSD PICK 3: who's in it?

Cotchin/Ebert/Masten/Henderson/Gourdis/Myers.

Selwood/Arrowsmith/Mcevoy/Pears/Scott Simpson

Monaghan/Gilchrist

Rookie - S Martin/Paterakis

Not sure where you're going with Monaghan as he only played a couple of good games this year with Sandy.

Shane Valenti however would be a great steal as maybe a 4th round pick.

Lets hope CAC can snare Stefan Martin as a rookie because he is a skillful mobile ruckman.

I see Stefan Martin as a replacement for ferg'/holland. too small for a true ruck.

as for me

National Draft

pick 4 - Palmer ~ expect richmond or WCE to take cotchin regardless of where he came from. Remember WCE didnt do too bad out of the trades i dont believe with questionmarks over Judds OP. I wouldnt be supprised if Carlton take cotchin too...unlikely but O'Halpen is being moulded as the next ruckman in my opinion.

Pick 14 - Bellchambers ~ simply because we need another ruckman. Hes 199cm and great in the ruck at tap work. Can go forward and take a mark and kick a goal. Jamar is not up to standard and i have reservations on Johnson. White is retiring soon so Meesen and Bellchambers should be the next 2 youth ruckman.

pick 21- Collier - Looks good in midfield and down back. Played as CHF but at 193cm hes too small. He birsts the lines tho and could be used on the flank.

Pick 53 - Jones ~ in and under midfielder

Pick 69 - Not sure to be honest

Pre Season Draft:

Pick 3 - Darren Pfeiffer

The Dees are chasing Jared Brennan

Good news

I don't even know why I take anything you say seriously, but if we can get Brennan for nothing (i.e.- PSD), and Bailey manages to put a rocket up him, he could be worth a try.

However, if Matthews couldn't discipline him, I doubt anyone else could. Remember Cupido?

With Richmond and Carlton ahead of us in the PSD it's highly unlikely that a player like Brennan would fall to us at pick 3 in the PSD.

Even if Brennan wants $1m as reported in the Courier Mail (Jared Brennan's future clouded) the Blues would find a way to fit him into their salary cap. They have plenty of room ;) after ditching Whitnall.

I have a feeling however, that there might be a larger than usual crop of players out there including some rare jewels available at the top end of the PSD and I suspect that this is the time when CAC probably is going to be working his hardest talking with managers and persuading players who are in the mix to make themselves available. Who knows, it might even be worth leaving two places open for PSD picks if clubs are delisting to stay within the salary cap and other reasons.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
