#7: Cooper Duff-Tytler Position: Ruck / Key Forward Height: 200cm Club: Vic Metro / Calder Cannons Draft Range: 1-10 They are joking !?!?! He’s a 200cm player who can kick goals and play as a 2nd midfielder as well. Think Luke Jackson type but with more footy IQ and development. He can start as a 2nd ruck and then become number 1 after 2-3 pre seasons. If the Dees had a pick in the first 3, I’d choose him

Who said he was staying ? Girlfriend in Melbourne and just wanted to get some more midfield minutes. He was part of our 19-22 group coming through. Really disappointed. Really pi&$$&() off. Returning home ?!?! We gave him the chance after all the other clubs didn’t draft him. Loyalty ?? What is that ???

Geelong beat Brisbane 3 weeks ago because their pressure was high and Brisbane couldn’t handle it Brisbane turned it around 80 points mostly because they brought the pressure and this time Geelong couldn't handle it. It is about transition footy and skills PLUS applying pressure and winning the contested footy. You can’t focus on one. We became just a contested team and now have to bring the attacking run as well. It’s been early stages but you can see it !!

NOW 2025 IS DONE STEVEN KING IS APPOINTED Keep Oliver Petracca May Uncontracted McVee ✅Hope King being appointed and a good contract offer sees him stay Billings ❌ Fullerton ❌ Sestan ❌ Spargo⭕️UFA Trade or allow to leave (R) Verrall ❌ (R) Hore❌. (R) KBrown💔❌ 7 off the list - Spargo, KBrown, Fullerton, Hore, Verrall, Billings, Sestan 2 on the list - SSP top ups Henderson and Culley have earned one year deals so get added ❓❓Taj Woewodin/ Woey junior - does he seek to get traded to either Freo or Eagles ❓❓Steven May - Hope he stays and sees out his career. He didn’t have a great year but when fit, he was still a mountain in defence Contracted 2026 McAdam⭕️sure he has mercurial talent but can’t believe he was 29 yo and injury prone and he got 3 years (Tim Lamb: was there a trigger clause even thought about? ) Maybe he gets to see out his final year. Have to somehow hope 🤞he can stay on the park or I think he’ll have to retire early. Laurie⭕️ elite at VFL Level. Just wish he’d got more chances at AFL game and shown something. He has been on our list 5 years now. Might just seek opportunity elsewhere. Contracted. The “1-year club” The Veterans. (5) Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell On the edge. (10) Laurie Woey jnr Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha Henderson That’s a lot of unproven or players in their twilight. Conceivably all 15 could be gone at end 2026. Added Culley and Henderson as upgrade from SSP to the list 5 new additions Add some trade in players Draft… Add White (likely list) and Sinnema (likely cat b rookie) Add 2 quality youngsters in the draft

I hope they don’t look back at this … DEES TRADING SINCE THE PREMIERSHIP 2021 IN Dunstan❌ 2022 IN Grundy ❌Hunter❌ Schache ❌OUT Toby Bedford, Jayden Hunt, Luke Jackson, Sam Weideman 2023 IN Billings ❌McAdam ⭕️ Fullarton❌ OUT Harmes Jordon Grundy 2024 In Sharp⭕️Campbell ⭕️OUT Neale-Bullen

Now STEVEN KING CAN BECOME THE DEMONS COACH !! Let’s go !!

Agree. Goodwin saying we lost purpose after winning the 2021 GF was bizarre and difficult to understand. The inner built want to win has to be continuous, not just a blip in time.

Cats are winning … The Free Kicks 20-10.

Why don’t they show us Chris 💩Scott!!!??

5 million 💩💩💩💩💩

Dogg 1/10 Clean versions No f**** No motherf****r No ni*** No pump ya you h*** No shoot you motherf****r lines !!! Signs Swear Down 4 Nnns Beautiful Gin and juice Who am I Lighting and dancing 6/10

Maeve Chaplin is a star ❤️💙Love how she has controlled the backline. She’s only 23 !! Emerging leader. Give her a blank cheque. Tahlia Gillard. 💙❤️Only 21. So strong. Reliable. Not much to do yesterday but she’s just come back and will be a key in the next few weeks and in finals versus the Kangas forwards. Must sign her up for multi years @Demonland we have such a great AFLW program

Like to see us grab someone like Phil Davis. Smart operator. Definitely has good insights and recently retired.

Trade radio. Insomnia cured !!!

Still waiting for the McVee news !!! It’s compelling We should hear by the end of next week. King will come in and say “let’s get it done “. We are going places young man, you’re very much wanted and we need you on board.

He’s a BUY at that rate. A steal in fact. Freo will grab him in 0.5 second if he’s available imv in the first round.

Ummm. Mid second round is actually around pick 37-39. I think that’s very very unlikely. I’d pick him in round 1 between 12-15. He’s got AFL quality - elite kick, great mark, smart footy IQ.

Absolutely NOOOOOOOOOOO

6 Fitzsimon ⭐️ 5 Hanks ⭐️ 4 Harris ⭐️ 3 Chaplin 💙❤️ 2 Wotherspoon💙❤️ 1 Hore ❤️💙 Apologies to many others

“I’m fine with 2 plus a trigger as long as the trigger is >30 games AND >15 in 2027. Ideally it’s front loaded too”. Agree with @DeeSpencer He has to be on a 2 year deal with a “games played” trigger. Wish we had McAdam on a similar deal.

North are an amazing AFLW team But … They will fear us They can be beaten Dees AFLW have players still to come back into our best 21!! We have star power and scoring power !! If we took our opportunities and kick straight, North are beatable 👍🏻

@Redleg ??? Suns B&F 2025 ??? I think he’d be Flanders behind Rowell, Anderson (of course), Witts, Collins, Miller, Humphrey, Long, King, Uwland, Rioli, Noble. So he’d struggle to get into their top 10 in the B&F in 2025.

Megan Fitzsimon. 9 tackles in the first half. She’s just a heart and soul player Love the way she plays

Tyla Hanks. What a star !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If it’s $900,000 a year, I’m probably going to fold my poker hand. That’s potentially extortion. He had a good 2024 and a satisfactory 2025. Only 3 votes in the Brownlow and I’d suggest he’d just barely struggle into the Suns top 10 in their B&F. He should see a better future for his midfield or forward mid mixture role at MFC. Suns will 3 young guns in their academy through this draft. Will Graham also due back from injury.
