Take the weaknesses with a grain of salt. Draft central's write up of Bowey last year had toughness as a strength, but contested side as a weakness. They often contradict themselves.

Rookie draft

We simply don't rate anyone remaining, and would rather push the pick to next year, even at the expensive of a few spots, than waste it this year

Budget Bailey Smith I reckon by the way he moves Surely they'll look at him as an inside mid

Welcome to Demonland Pick 3-8

“I had an interview with (coach) Simon (Goodwin) and then they called me (Tuesday) night to see how I was going. So I had a suspicion but wasn’t really sure. “I feel obviously stoked and pumped. It’s really exciting and a dream come true.” Looks like they planted the seed the night before

Classy midfielder if possible. Sonsie probably will be taken by the Hawks. Will be interesting to see where clubs rate Goater. Could be a Dangerfield or could be a Sam Frost, I'm intrigued.

Someone get the Welcome to Demonland: Pick 37 thread going, expeditiously...

Some players of note still remaining which was posted, a few missing I'm sure: Blake Howes Matthew Johnson Josh Goater Corey Warner Tyler Sonsie Mitch Knevitt Sam Butler Arlo Draper Alastair Lord Jack Williams Cooper Murley Matthew Roberts

We view him as a key fwd:

Cringeworth listening to Brad Johnson and King with their 'expert' commentary

Dunno why but I have a feeling we weren't expecting him to be available @ 19

Unreal

You’d have to think they have plans to release Rivers. I understand we maybe lacking a certified lockdown small/medium defender, but we’d be stacked in the backline with Hunt, Tomlinson to return

Goater & Erasmus seem to be the sliders judging by the phantoms released today and yesterday

I see Bailey Smith when he carries the footy

His phantom drafts (Chesser@ 17) is what he expects to happen, his power rankings where he doesn’t include Chesser are just his overall ranking of talent

Can't be a real comment. No Dogs supporter I know has faith in their backline.

Outside/classy midfielder the biggest need, and we know the club also acknowledged that given their interest in Isaac Smith last year From a long term perspective, a project tall forward with our second pick

Apparently Knightmare was caught out last year ranking some kids he hadn't actually watched in any capacity, as he didn't want to pay a subscription fee for that specific competitions live feed of games
