There's always a few players that miss out. Surprised we didn't match a bid for Riak Andrew...but oh well. Jason Taylor and the Melbourne Football Club recruiting team are the professionals and we can only speculate.

True! That was another Prendergast disaster. ☹️

I'm more surprised that Clancy Dennis who was an under 18 All Australian key defender missed out on getting picked in the draft?! 🤔

Surprised that an under 18 All Australian tall defender in Clancy Dennis missed out? I guess he could be a rookie draft selection?

A classic Jason Taylor "smokey"! Love it! Welcome to the Demons Aidan Johnson! That's gotta be his nickname now eh? The "Albury Assassin"! Play him on Brayden Maynard and let's spill some blood on the footy field! Hahaha! 🤣

Would like to. But sadly I don't think it is plausible. However, you never know as Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb try and work their magic.

Very pleased with the Demons choosing Xavier Lindsay in the draft. Here is an article in the local newspaper about Xavier Lindsay getting picked in the draft last night: https://www.sgst.com.au/news/leongatha-and-inverloch-talent-xavier-lindsay-now-a-demon

Jason Taylor looks quite pleased with the picks of Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay for the Demons. Here is his brief interview on YouTube:

Here is at least 7 talented players that haven't been picked in the draft yet: https://www.zerohanger.com/the-seven-best-afl-draft-prospects-still-available-and-the-clubs-that-could-select-them-2-156969/ ● Alex Dodsen ● Jack Whitlock ● Jobe Shanahan ● Hamish Davis ● Christian Moraes ● Kayle Gerreyn ● Tom Gross I am sure there's a few others, but not sure who will slip down for the Demons?

I have no idea who the Demons will choose with pick #75? Ideally, it should be a key defender. Especially, in preparation for the long-term replacement of Steven May at full back. I have faith in Jason Taylor choosing an obscure "smokey" that none of us have ever heard of.

Number #10 will probably go to Harvey Langford.

I think great minds think alike when it comes to Xavier Lindsay. 😉 I am incredibly pleased that Jason Taylor and the rest of the Melbourne Demons recruiting team recognized that we desperately needed more elite kicks in our team. Having players that can hit our forwards "lace out" on the chest with kicks will definitely help us kick winning scores!

He's a big lad this Harvey Langford! Jason Taylor gave him high praise during his interview on the AFL Live stream. Apparently he is incredibly competitive which is excellent to hear! I am excited to see what he can do for the Demons. At 191cms he is definitely another midfield bull who can learn off the likes of Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver. The ball is now in Harvey Langford's court to train hard and see if he can make it at AFL level.

Glad the Demons picked Xavier Lindsay who is an excellent kick and will provide "X-factor" to our team. We have been desperate to rectify the issue of forward-line connection for a few seasons now and hopefully Xavier's poise and skill with kicking will help the Demons. An educated choice with taking the best talent available as well as the covering of a vital need for us. In Jason Taylor we trust!

It's up to the AFL to support grassroots funding in country areas. They get billions of dollars in TV rights. The Melbourne Football Club (and MCC) has done a lot in Central Australia with setting up a wonderful grassed MCG sized football oval. Hopefully, more of these types of initiatives can be done in the future.

How's Clarry? Is he looking fit? Looking happy? Great to see Clarry back, fit and firing! Tell Clarry we all love him and hope he remains a Demon forever! 👹❤️💙

As harsh as it sounds....it isn't nearly enough. Look to emulate what other AFL Clubs are doing as well as making more of our own unique and funny content. Perhaps try to get a bloke like Caden MacDonald who has over 90,000 subscribers on YouTube more involved with our Social Media. He is a very passionate Demons supporter. There are others too, like Broden Kelly, the blokes from the Deebrief Podcast, Titus O'Reily and Hamish Blake who all have varying levels of influence online and in the media. Anyway, that's just a few suggestions.

This is what the Demons desperately need. Players that are elite kicks and decision makers. The problem of forward line "connection" must be rectified. I believe that recruiting Xavier Lindsay would help address this.

In my view, Melbourne's presence on Social Media has been very limited. Even North Melbourne has more content than us on Social Media, which is embarrassing! Tik-Tok, SnapChat, X/Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc all need to be utilised much more to advertise the Melbourne Demons to possible new supporters. The more content the better!

Would rather the Demons take Victorian players. I am still a bit scarred after losing Luke Jackson to Fremantle.

Jason Taylor was asked about Kalani White yesterday in his interview on "Gettables". He said Kalani will be part of the Australian Squad and that he is developing well.

Agreed! We are crying out for players who are elite kicks that can hit a player "lace out" with a pass. Forward line "connection" is still a massive issue for the Demons.

Cal Twomey has the Demons taking Harvey Langford in his Phantom Draft. I guess we shall wait and see if this is correct or not...???

An impressive effort by Cal Twomey. He definitely does his research. I would say he is normally about 80% to 90% correct with his choices. Would be very happy with Harvey Langford. Not so much with Bo Allan from WA, as I would much prefer the Demons take Xavier Lindsay from Victoria. We desperately need players who are excellent kicks and elite decision makers.
