Demon 16

I hope he is, although I have heard a few things suggesting that he might have snuck into that squad on his name rather than his output. I’ve also heard that his dad is keen for him to select the Dees if given the opportunity. Hopefully he is a gun and makes it to us!

Kalani does live up on the Gold Coast doesn’t he? Or in Brisbane at least. Is he actually any good though? I have read mixed reports as to whether he’s touted as a top end talent, or likely to go later in the draft (or even rookie draft).

I don’t mind playing developing forwards in defensive roles for a while. It can help in a bunch of ways - freshen them up a bit, learn what makes life hard for a defender and it can also help a bit with intensity and physicality (which Jefferson lacks). No room to hide in the backline - you can’t drop a mark or miss a contest/tackle and you can’t waste a kick.

Go Dees!!

Doesn’t work on my iPhone either.

What areas of the list (positional needs) would you and the club ideally like to address in the next 2 drafts?

GWS are reported to be interested with the pick after ours.

Good strategy then!

My guess.. 1 - Curtin 2 - Wilson

I’d be happy if that Shaun Mannagh made it to 42. He’s mature age, but would be well suited to us as a speedy high half forward or small forward. Fast, gets possessions and is a nice kick and be hits the scoreboard too.

Whilst I’d be open to the F1 trade (in the hope it is pick 1 or 2, I’d be very pleased if we just took Curtin. Agree that their pick 23 this year could be a good option as steak knives too, given it will probably be a third round pick by the time all of the bloody NGAs and concessions are handed out..!

It all comes down to how each club rates Curtin. If WCE want to trade then let’s presume they rate him as a top 2 or 3 pick this year and as a Perth boy they’d be comfortable getting him now, rather than waiting 12 months for an unknown kid a pick or 2 better. So yeh I agree in my scenario I’d hope the steak knives are in our favour - but I can’t see it being anything significant.

I’d do it. If Curtin made it to us and WCE wanted to trade, I think in reality it would look along the lines of our 2023 pick 6 plus our 2024 second round pick (attached to Syd) for WCE 2024 first pick. Maybe a few steak knives back and forth but that’s about it and I’d take it.

Sounds like we’ve also delisted Milkshake this afternoon, with a view to adding him back onto the rookie list.

I hope you’re right!
