Yes only Viney out of best 22 gotta worry about McKenna and Vandenburg. They are really struggling to get over long term problems

Ffs. Really. Not another cut down. This is too much

We wish Jack Watts the very best. But now must stop all the trolls and negativity. Everyone move on.

Wait and see. Loved Luna Park with the kids.

Demons will improve because - Hogan hopefully plays a full year - Gawn hopefully plays a full year - Salem hopefully plays a full year - Viney hopefully plays a full year “pain free” - Oliver can still get better with his decision making - Petracca can get better and tear several games apart - Jake Lever now on board - Weideman will continue to develop - omcd gets another summer in the gym - Bernie Vince will not be guaranteed a game and no excuses for stupid turnovers or ill discipline - progress of Hannan, Stretch, ANB & Harmes - Fritsch can fit in as a very handy smart forward

Correction

Agree with Vince and 5-6 fringe players, we will have a few spots to fill.

Dees got Lever & 2nd round Crows 2017 (Petty) & 3rd round Crows 2018 Crows got 1st round Dees 2017 (D Fogarty) & 1st round Dees 2018 & 4th round Dees 2018

Great story on MFC Website about young Oskar. Had to overcome adversity. I like his style to take on the game with his pace. Don’t be surprised if the ginger ninja gets a spot in the team in early rounds of 2018.

That’s cruel. After no 1st rounders in 2016 and 2017 Draft, we have traded out again of the 1st round in 2018. We have put the chips into Weideman and Lever who cost us 2016-18 1st rounders. History will judge us like the 2007-15 junket of Top 10 & Top 20 picks.

Agree he is big and strong. I still shudder at the Luke Molan big and strong selection from 2001. I thought we would pick a Ruck like Hayes or runner like Wooller or Garner. He might actually develop into a ruck as he is apparently still growing.

There’s a spot in the team for Baker. Needs to compete with Stretch for the fast running wing position that I see as a missing element in our best 22.

Real competitor but will need to work extra hard. Must watch Caleb Daniel and Jake Gresham really closely. They have overcome height deficiencies.

Keeps the Casey pathway connections. Motivator for the other young guns.

Red with a blue V neck??

Hmmm. Ballard, Moore, Taylor and Walker. Not a win here. Ballard ... skinny Grgic type. Disposal is below average. Moore ... is ok at 31 but not if Garner or Wooller is available. Taylor ... tall defender. We have plenty. Walker ... opportunist forward with some mid potential Would prefer if available on this listing 29 Wooller 31 Garner 36 Farrell 47 McLean or Coleman-Jones

Hamish Brayshaw. Great grab on afl website. Would be great to see MFC potentially grab him at 47. He has the ability to make it.

Fritsch was out with Jamie Elliott. Very high risk draftee.

Great story about Zac Bailey on AFL website. Good Demons connection. I had him at pick 30. Would be happy to see him land at a MFC selection.

Heard Fritsch was out drinking last night. Got arrested outside nightclub at 4am. Might have been fighting. Similar to Jack Darling in 2010. How could anyone but MFC take the punt on this reckless young man !! (Hope HS picks up this news )

Knightmare on Big Footy has MFC choices as 29 Wooller - yes if available 31 Spargo - good but prefer Garner 36 Mcpherson - good but prefer Fritsch All good choices if we were lucky enough. Though need more height at pick 47. As per my top 50. I think Fritsch at 36 is the go.

Yes really glad Jack got picked up. Two Demon “Jacks” now at the power.

Given a good look over the 2017 draft. Not overly strong but top group is consistent so some bargains for the clubs with picks 10-15. Top 20 Group predicted: 1 Davies-Uniacke, 2 Rayner, 3 Dow, 4 Brayshaw, 5 Cerra, 6 Coffield, 7 Hayes, 8 Stephenson, 9 Brander, 10 O’Brien, 11 Constable, 12 D.Fogarty, 13 Naughton, 14 Clark, 15 Higgins, 16 Bonar, 17 Balta, 18 Ballenden, 19 Allen, 20 Naish (f/son) 21 Bulldogs N.Murphy 22 Cats Ling 23 Kangas Richards 24 Cats Worpel 25 Tigers Houlahan 26 Eagles Clavarino 27 Giants Garner 28 Giants Spargo 29 Demons Wooller 30 Blues Zac Bailey 31 Demons Gryan Miers 32 Eagles Ainsworth 33 Swans Mynott 34 Saints Petruccelle 35 Cats Dixon 36 Demons Bailey Fritsch 37 Eagles Starcevich 38 Pies T.Brown (f/son) 39 Crows McPherson 40 Lions. Tim Kelly 41 Suns. Crowden 42 Dockers Patmore 43 Lions. Farrell 44 Hawks. D Moore 45 Saints Taylor 46 Power. Liam Ryan 47 Demons Hayden McLean 48 Bombers C.Parish 49 Power. Petty 50 Suns. Crossley happy with Wooller, Miers, Fritsch & McLean. Seb Williams, Aiden Quigley and Matthew Day are my smokies for top 50. Callum Coleman-Jones could be another option.

I think Jack will either get picked up or go play for Sturt. He would walk into the SANFL as a star. I can’t talk highly enough of him. Another Demon cut down by injury.

Signed up for 2018.
