Not sure why its not all of a sudden letting me post the full twitter post but this pretty much confirms that Hassa Mann will be presenting our draftees with their jumpers. https://x.com/CalTwomey/status/1990917970076578297?s=20

Ben Waterworth has now provided an updated Phantom Draft and has now changed his initial selection for our first pick from Xavier Taylor to Jacob Farrow.

From Fox Footy. MELBOURNE Current draft hand: 7, 8, 37, 63, 65 Mid-sized Eastern Ranges interceptor Xavier Taylor is right in top-10 calculations and is expected to be a strong consideration for the Demons if he’s still available at what’ll end up being Pick 11 after four matched bids in the top 10. Richmond and Essendon both have interest in Taylor ahead of the Dees, but if he slips through, he’s exactly the sort of long-term defensive piece new coach Steven King and company would want to get their hands on — particularly after the club lost Judd McVee to Fremantle in the trade period and the ageing state of its backline. If one of Sullivan Robey or Sam Cumming slid to Melbourne’s slots, that would also be grand result for the red and blue — although the likelihood of either of those happening seems less likely than Taylor falling slightly. Otherwise, Lachy Dovaston, Cameron Nairn and Latrelle Pickett — the cousin of Kysaiah — should be considerations for the Dees with their second early selection. If the Dees don’t opt for a small forward type with either of their early picks, they could assess the likes of Leon Kickett or the West Coast-tied Tylah Williams with their second-rounder.

Farrow and Nairm

Yeah I certainly see the Will Day comparisons as well.

Okay, im starting to warm to Farrow. Spent some time really just going through his highlight tapes. I liked this one because he plays as a full time mid and thought at times he looked explosive around stoppages.

Would be a massive outcome. He's got consistency issues in his game, but his potential is pretty high imo.

11. Melbourne - Jacob Farrow West Perth/Western Australia DEF/MID, 187cm Farrow is a smooth-moving footballer with a beautiful left leg. He effortlessly clears 60 metres from his typical station off halfback, though showed exciting scope through the midfield in patches. His upside is a mix of Hayden Young and Jordan Dawson as a damaging midfielder with his wicked left boot. 12. Melbourne - Cameron Nairn Central District/South Australia FWD, 188cm The latest bolter of the crop. Nairn's links to Melbourne are irrepressible, with rival clubs now surprised if he doesn't land at the Demons. The SA forward runs all day, is high-impact in his touches forward of centre and offered a glimpse of midfield craft late in the season. In the mix: Farrow and Nairn look to be preferred over Grlj and Sharp is available at this spot. Expect Cumming or Taylor to be snapped up if still on the board, while Dovaston remains a smoky to be taken at this stage. 33. Melbourne - Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country FWD/MID, 186cm Hibbins-Hargreaves is a match-winner that hasn't consistently shown his best through illness and injury this year. He dominated in patches, including a fourth quarter blitz against WA, but has slid in the estimation of some clubs given his limited exposure to the midfield. In the mix: The Dees are on the hunt for forward depth. Latrelle Pickett won't be here but Leon Kickett is another option out of WA, and Talor Byrne has been linked. 52. Melbourne - Hunter Holmes Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro MID, 186cm Holmes offers a similarly game-breaking athletic package to older brother Max. Similarly, they both lacked midfield exposure in their draft year but Hunter locked down a wing for Oakleigh all season where he showed flashes of his attributes. In the mix: Under Steven King the Dees will be keen to emulate the fast ball movement and forward conduits of the Cats. They've had a look at Louis Kellaway which would be a blow to the Tigers and the power of Oskar Ainsworth appeals.

Coming up now..

Cal Twomey just openly admitted that he isn't confident in his top 10 this year compared to previous years.

He's been tipped to go late or rookie selection. No thanks. I can think of about 20 or so high quality talent ahead of him.

High highlights aren't that flash at all. Lot of turnovers in the Coates League grand final...

Dylan Roberton has been with Casey coaching group for a couple of years now and also does some development role with the AFL side as well. Only know this because a family friend of mine trialled at Casey last year.

Can someone post full article.

Inspiration tackle in the end! Well done girls 🙌

His start to the year was progressing towards being a first round prospect. Played more inside and looked really comfortable in that role with his huge running power. Has huge upside with his athletic ability.

I reckon Sam Allen will be highly considered for our pick here if he is not gone by then.

Juicy...

Would youhave preferred this?
