  1. Think this is correct.
  2. Saints getting the job done over the Lions. If I'm not mistaken, saints winning all but guarantees us to take out the McClelland trophy.
  3. Ben McKay and Nick Haynes will be the two highest paid AFL players next season. I doubt either would crack most peoples top 100 players.

    North would be laughing if that's all it cost them in my view.
  5. Great work @spirit of norm smith If I could add some names to the mix for potential 2nd round-rookie prospects. - Lachie Charleson - Kobe Shipp - Matt Carroll - Bodie Ryan - Will Lorenz - Will Patton - Vigo Visentini - Joe Fonti - Jack Callinan - Cam Nyko - Ben Hopkins - Mahmoud Taha And of course Kynan Brown.
  6. With leake and Windsor allegedly bolting into top 10 contention, is it possible that O'Sullivan slides through to pick 11?
  7. Random Task replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Eagles fans will probably love it but doesn't come across as professional.
  8. If we don't grab Curtin or O'Sullivan then I wouldn't be opposed to looking at this kid with pick 11. Got a fair bit to work with, will take time though because he's quite skinny. 200cm intercept defender with an excellent left boot.
  9. Random Task replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Sounds like it. Either that or West Coast are holding out for a better offer from North in the lead up to the draft. Either way it seems highly unlikely we'll land Reid.
  10. Recent highlights video posted by the club. Been a bit of draft talk about needing a new wave of midfielder(s) to come through, perhaps we have an A-grader sitting on our half-back flank.
  11. Quite possible, even probable maybe, but it's not a stretch to see him miss out at the national draft in my view.
  12. I reckon we will take two in the ND, Brown as a Rookie and leave a spot for a DFA or SSP player.
  13. Random Task replied to DeeSpencer's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Think this will be Fullartons role, unless they don't plan to have him in the side along with Petty and JvR. He was more fwd than ruck, pinch hitting when required.

    I think there are still too many variables in play at the moment to know with any certainty. It does give us more flexibility to add to our list in a variety of ways. Whether it be simply adding another draftee through the national, opting to have more rookies, or holding a list spot over for either a DFA (ruck depth like Lycett of Hayes comes to mind) or simply keeping a list spot open for a ssp player in the preseason. Melksham going on the inactive list also adds flexibility I believe. 42 is anyone's guess at the moment, but I reckon we'll use it in a trade somehow. Either as an upgrade this year or flip into next.
  15. "The Kangaroos could be the busiest, with North expected to use five or six selections, while the Cats, Saints and Eagles are all likely to use four or five picks." "The ability to trade selections will impact some plans, but Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide are all likely to decide between having two and three draft choices."

    I'm not sure why the AFL didn't just state that those picks must be on-traded in the first place. It's pretty much what they implied.
  17. Random Task replied to Mach5's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    They've already traded those picks out to Gold Coast and Sydney. They needed to otherwise the AFL could have revoked them if they improved next year. They don't have any extra future picks as it currently stands.
  18. If the speculation is to be believed then Sanders is going one pick before ours. Curtin or Caddy seem to be the choices if we remain at 6.

    You could very well be right about Jeffo but it's not often that your 3rd tall is actually the tallest of the lot. Particularly with his contested marking being his biggest strength.
  20. Random Task replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Thanks mate, didn't have access. Edit: wonder if that's speculation on Caddy to us or intel. Be curious to see how we play with a forward line of JvR, Jefferson and Caddy, who we will have taken in consecutive years. Throw in Fritsch and Fullarton and its looking top heavy. One to play back perhaps. I'm more inclined to believe we will trade up for 3 and take Duursma.
  21. Random Task replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    This is an interesting scenario. I'm still undecided but on face value I would probably prefer 6 and 11 but can see the appeal of getting up to 3. Most likely look like. 1. North - Reid 2. WC - Curtin 3. Melb - McKercher/Duursma Alternatively, if West Coast has strong intel that Curtin slides to 6, as is the speculation currently, do they take a risk and select Duursma/McKercher at 2?
  22. Random Task replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Caddy not lasting to pick 8 speculation is interesting. As far as I can tell no club before us have been linked to him yet. That leaves us and GWS as potential suitors maybe? Or perhaps there's more twists in the top part of the draft to come. Hypothetical question. If Caddy was still on the board at our pick and Geelong came hard for him with an offer of pick 8 and future 1st, would you consider it? We go to the draft with 8 and 11 and deathride Geelong who I think will spend another year outside finals. This would certainly mean goodbye to the crop of Reid, Curtin, Duursma, McKercher, Sanders, Watson. 8 and 11 could net us O'Sullivan and perhaps a Windsor/Leake/Wilson

    13 out 4 in 9 picks over national/rookie draft or perhaps a delisted free agent plus spot held over for a pre-seasom supplemental selection. They have 5 first rounders then picks 57 and 82.
