Yep, would be very happy with Butler too. Bit of Butters about his play and excelled at the combine.
-
It’s a very sweet spot in the draft. Zac Taylor, Darcy Wilmot & Blake Howes are others in the mix at that spot & would happily have any of them at the Dees.

Here we go again!

Same story when I tried in Seddon.

2021 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
ChaserJ replied to TRIGON's topic in Melbourne Demons
Benefits of making the GF is the opportunity for JT and Lamb to get to some games in WA to see some of the kids play live, both in WAFL/Colts as well as the GF curtain raiser. Every advantage counts! -
This one:

I had the weirdest dream last night. We kicked 17 goals to one after being down 19 deep in the third. Absurd. Oh, that was reality? That happened? Bugger me. Whilst we couldn’t necessarily be there in person, part of my joy in the win was that all of you awesome people on DL could share in this feeling. So many years of hurt, frustration and sheer despair have bonded us and so happy for all of you now.

Recruiting & List Management Appreciation Thread
ChaserJ replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
All hail this gun recruitment team. Have nailed so many list decisions since 2013. Such sustained excellence is so, so rare. They deserve all the plaudits that come their way, for footy list purists it is as close to perfection as you’ll find (if Weid makes it, it will be perfection!). -
Onya Ash, thank you!

The NGA changes were already flagged late in 2019 season, Dogs were worried it would be implemented before they had the chance to get Ugle-Hagan, but the AFL didn’t make the final decision until relatively late in the piece last year. Felt it would be unfair to clubs to change the rules for ‘20 draft, so flagged that change was effective from ‘21. I think our draft strategy would have been ambivalent to having access to Andrew.

Good yarn from PK. A cracking selection at 17.

Could probably squeeze a 3rd if we paid a bit of his contract next year.

I’m pretty sure Sam and Gerard were just speculating based on a text that came through from a listener. Don’t know if Sam was putting that forward himself.

Enjoy this Landers, I still can’t quite comprehend how good our team is. We’re in and it’s time. Go Dees!

2021 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
ChaserJ replied to TRIGON's topic in Melbourne Demons
Players could net us picks, also would expect us to dangle our future first again to get a '21 first rounder in. Would imagine the Dogs pick will be in play with Darcy to be matched much higher than their 1st rd pick, possibly GWS' pick 13 is worth targeting. Whether we end up taking any picks we trade in to the draft, or whether we get deep into other trade scenarios will be interesting. -

I believe he was initially in Ports NGA squad, but doesn't appear to still be tied (would go too high for them to match anyway). He's free to anyone with a pick in the 10-16 range. Maybe higher with a few more eye catching performances. -
To be fair, covid and constant border closures weren’t in the picture back then.
-
I’m also wary of clubs/managers using us to create leverage in negotiations without us being a realistic option in trade. Managers will do the work before trade period to work out realistic landing spots for their clients, and if Cerra just wants to get to Melbourne (the town, not the team) Carlton makes good sense in terms of a straightforward deal. If Cerra does decide he wants Melbourne the club ahead of all others, we’d probably have to work to get some picks to get a deal done, but it’s possible. I just don’t get the vibe that Cerra’s particularly strong on us as a destination.
-
Depends on what we let go when the season’s over. We also had a lot of guys sign long term deals, don’t know exactly how those deals are staggered within the cap.

Fast start by WA!

Streamed on afl website apparently. My day looks sorted!

Thanks Daz. This being televised anywhere?

Which is saying something because Jacko has a handy vertical, but pre ACL Schwarz was special.
