Filler til other kids develop.

Once they do, he is a list clogger.

Ordinary post. Macdonald's been a great pick up. His experience and hardness at the ball is very valuable to this team.

I would like to see Hughes in for Petterd - or even Bail (albeit with some reshuffling ie, not a direct swap). But I think we need PJ to replace Martin, and then have PJ and Jamar rotating through the forward line all night - with some crumbers running off them.

McKenzie must return too.

give the man a chance, if Juice could muster up 2 games surely Hughes recent for should give him a chance in the seniors.

I'd like to see them give him a go, though I expect Miller will get the nod. Would like to see PJ in for Martin as well.

I think Gumbleton will be an absolute gun - but he's been in the system for about 4 years and is only just starting to come on. Had a lot of injuries though.

And for those saying of you saying this is the 50,000 Jack Watts thread etc, a big part of this site involves a Demons chat-room - and, in this regard, pick one in 2008 was a pretty important pick for this club.

A lot of people are genuinely interested in seeing how this particular pick is developing/progressing.

Kinda like Butcher right? Similar age, similar size. I guess Butcher has a shocking attitude and that's why he isn't playing as well.

Tom Lynch? Went in the same draft and can't even get a look in when Reiwoldt is out of action. Shocking attitude.

Oh, and McKernan. Can't forget him. Disgraceful the way he goes about things.

Or how about Scott Gumbleton? He was drafted two years before and he's barely played a game or produced anything. Terrible attitude that boy must have. Number 2 pick? What a waste!

Lachy Henderson? Top ten pick my ass! He's never done anything worth writing home about!

Damn, when you get right down to it, it looks like all of the forwards drafted in the last few years have been shockers. None of them have any work ethic, they all have attitude problems and there's not a scrap of talent in the bunch. What on earth is going through the heads of all those recruiters?

Hurley. Pick 5 2008.

My concern with Watts is that he may not have enough mongrel to ever be an elite key position forward. Merely an observation and I sincerely hope I'm wrong - perhaps we should second him to the Shinboners for a couple of years.

It'd be interesting to know what the football department really thinks about Watts.

It's likely that Watts will become a very good player, but for pick number one in a reasonable draft, the signs aren't fantastic.

Everyone talks about NikNat, but I keep wondering whether we actually should've picked Hurley.

Any team that has an in-form Rivers and Bail listed as emergencies is a team on its way to the finals. Surely.

And, to think, Morton, Jurrah and Wona are probably due to return in the next month to six weeks. Cannot believe how hard it is to get in this side at the moment.

That's not to mention Tapscott, Gysberts, Strauss, Blease and a few others.

I'm with you too, Jamars Girl. He's probably the single most important bloke on our list at the moment. Wish we'd locked him into a longer deal last year.

I like Grimes in the back half, rather than the midfield. We are setting up everything through our run off the half back line - simply should not change that. And Grimes is instrumental in this.

Despite the comments of some on this loop, Rivers still has plenty of good football in front of him. Perhaps Rivers for Garland (who still looks a bit underdone). If not, Rivers may need to wait for an injury to get in (God forbid). The defence is working very well at the moment and it's not obvious where you'd fit him in.

Try youtube, i'd imagine they're all on there.

Round 5 appears not to be. I hear they sang the club song twice and would love to see that footage.

Technically, I don't know how to download video and put it on you tube - hence, my request (which I expect may also assist some others).

Possibly a weird request, but I'd be grateful if someone could post every club song sung this year on a single thread in you tube format.

I have a Apple and, despite subscribing to Bigpond, I seem always to be blocked from streaming Bigpond videos and hence the club songs. This is all too annoying for words.

I actually have all of our wins backed up on Foxtel IQ, but it'd be heaps more convenient if the club songs were on one thread that I (and presumably many others) could access from the computer.

Thanks in advance if anyone can do this.

I think the best thing to do is to draft the best available player. I would have taken lucas ahead of Gysberts, but then I would have taken tapscott ahead of both of them.

I'm stoked we picked Gysberts ahead of Lucas. I suspect we would've taken Melksham if he was available at pick 11, but I think Gysberts will be a gun for this club.

I reckon we nailed this draft.

Also, I've not seen the club song - channel 7 and Fox didn't show it.

Has anyone got a link to it?

I agree - post of the year.

We've only found that courage in recent years (b/c of Stynes, Connolly, Schwab, Bailey), but I totally agree that we have it in spades now.

For instance, it takes courage for a bloke to remain as a rookie at this club in the face of offers for senior list positions at other AFL clubs - and to then tackle like a man possessed when given the sniff of an opportunity. Jordie McKenzie embodies some of the new found courage that is developing within our playing list.

Yep, I really like the look of the guy.

Bought a new guernsey yesterday and nearly put his number on it - but just had to go with number 16.

I tipped us to win. Also tipped freo over geelong. Good weekend for me.

Same here. Very proud of the club today.

Newton, Dunn, Miller should be on the draft table now. Simply not up to it.

And forget that old line about playing in a good team. What is a good team made of? Good players. These plodders don't cut it.

Bate trade-bait if Carltank are interested. Oh wait, Bate's really good in the second half of the season. FFS.

Completely ridiculous post - fortunately the Football Department would realise this. Dunn and Bate are both very important players for us.

Watching a reply of the game. Final quarter - Bail is on fire. Just set up the Green and Dunn goals. This kid is bloody good.

I reckon Joel Mac will be a top pick up for us. He'll looked really, really good yesterday.

When most people in the members section yesterday had left, I was sitting there with a couple mates not believing what had happened in the last 3 hours, and more so what happened in the last 5 minutes of the game.

But I looked behind me, into the coaches box, and dean bailey was sitting there by himself looking out to the ground. He looked so hurt and so devasted with the one point loss. He looked more hurt then any other supporter or person in that ground. He then stood up, smashed something on his desk and kicked over 2 chairs..

As I was going to the game today, I was talking to my mates saying I am not sure if Bailey is the right man for the job, I didnt think he had the passion to drive the boys... But after seeing his face, I saw how much these losses affect this man. I think he hates to lose, I think he takes it personally when we lose and I think he will turn this club around with his desire to win...

Media conferences mean nothing. The people inside the club want him there, he must bleed passion behind close doors and thats all we need. We dont need some [censored] abusing umpires and such after the game to the media, we need someone cool and collected and then unleash hell when it is only needed..

He would have been so pleased with how the boys played, he would have loved Bennells game.. he would have loved Newtons chasing and heavy bumps he laid on Collingwood defenders, he would have loved Dunn and Pettards game.. despite dropping a mark.. He just knows how important winning is to the club and he knows we arent far away from it.

He wants a win more then any demonland poster here

Post of the year. Thanks for that - served to confirm my suspicions too.

I agree. And, despite what many here might say, he's got a bloody big engine and has loads of experience (which cannot be under-estimated when fielding such a young team).

I've said to my mates all year - Jamar is the player we can least afford to have out injured at the moment. In a sense therefore, he's currently our most important player.

Very, very good game. He looks like he belongs.

I think he can be justifiably pleased. But for a couple of things not wholly within his control (ie, unbelievable umpiring and the inexperience of some very inexperienced players), we would have won.

A bloody good effort - we were clearly the better team on the day, despite the scoreline.

I make no excuses for having my doubts about Bailey after last week's disgraceful display against the Hawks, and am still to be totally convinced of his ability to take us to where we should be. But yesterday was a step in the right direction and proved that our list isn't nearly as bad as others might think, youth or no youth. So long as we play man on man K-I-S-S football we'll beat more teams than will beat us.

I hope Bailey starts to get a few wins on the board and sticks around, because as a person I think most Dee fans have no complaints. But he needs wins.

I think yesterday was more than merely a step in the right direction - it was unbelievable.

We played a team which is one of the favourites for the flag. They were virtually at full strength. Meanwhile, we had a team of full of kids with perhaps 6 of our best 22 out.

And we essentially won the game. We were the better team, yet got cruelled by very poor umpiring and our own inexperience.

Please pay more credit where it's due. It was truly an exceptional performance in the circumstances.
