PICK 5 – Melbourne – Alyssia Pisano (Eastern Ranges / Vic Metro) Melbourne recruiters would be rubbing their hands together knowing they have a huge opportunity to select the most damaging small forward in the draft pool. With a potent left foot and elite goal sense, Pisano will only make the Demons’ forwardline stronger and has enormous potential. A genuine steal at Pick 5, helped by her state nomination. If not, who else? The Demons are looking for that game-breaking player, with Williamson another chance to go here. The Stingrays midfielder could also run off half-back and is that natural leader the Demons enjoy.

How'd your mate Laurie look? Reckon he's in for a solid year.

Doing draft research earlier in the year I came across two names that were in the NT academy. Ricky Mentha and Clay Shadforth. Could be one of these two. I haven't been able to ascertain if either are part of our NGA, or any names for that matter.

Updates would be appreciated from those of us at work who are procrastinating on demonland but can't actively watch.

Is that January post Christmas or August post Christmas?

Height: 162cm Dob: 1/7/2005 Position: Small forward Club: Eastern Ranges Games: 14 Goals: 38 https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/alyssia-pisano/ SNAPSHOT: When it comes to class and maximum damage in this year’s AFLW Draft class, it is hard to look past Eastern Ranges small forward, Alyssia Pisano. The talented left-footer is as dominant as anyone when she can wheel around onto her trusted side and win a game off her own boot in a matter of minutes. With weapons galore inside 50 and the potential to develop even further, Pisano is the premier small forward in this year’s draft crop. 2023 Coates Talent League Profile Series - Alyssia Pisano https://www.afl.com.au/video/897036

She's been traded to West Coast this afternoon.

First dees trade confirmed.

19 is their earliest pick and I haven't heard any rumours of North players wanting out that would net them additional first rounders. Perhaps another club or player will get involved. But like Luke Jackson, we can only ask for what they have.

Would imagine Birch moves for pick 19 from North.

@Demonstone taking a nap? *they're Can't believe nascent typed that, what a dumbass

Love bowser. Agree that it would be nice to see him perhaps rotate through a wing. Could use his skills delivering inside 50. Should reach out to Banana Boat to see if their interested in a sponsorship deal, I'm sure clarry and bowser would appreciate it.

Might be in with a shot to get Alyssia Pisano in the draft. Will probably go top 5 but sounds like we might have one of those selections at the end of the trade period. Dominated for the Ranges this year and kicked 38 goals in 14 games. One of smoothest moving natural kicks of the footy I've seen in the girls league.

But the Demons will pick up Port Adelaide teenager Lily Johnson to bolster their depth, while the club could head to the December 18 draft with as many as three first-round picks as part of their ongoing list regeneration.

Thanks, definitely won't be able to make that one but may make the trip on Friday. Hopefully access and parking isn't too much of an issue.

Do you know Wednesday by chance?

Anyone know training details for Friday? I might head down
