Assuming we finish last this year, we would obviously aquire pick 1 (Natununi), but what draft pick selections would follow?

    We can finish last and not get pick #1. Richmond and Carlton still qualify for priority picks under the new draft regime.

    Impossible to say this early who the top 10 will be. Injuries could play a factor in where a kid is drafted.

    Assuming we finish with less than 18 points, we would qualify for a priority pick after the first round.

    So, Carlton and Richmond tanking notwithstanding, we would have #1, #17, #18, #34, #50...

    pick 1: Nicholas Natanui

    pick 17: Charles Shaw

    pick 18: someone else as good

    16.5 points. not 18.

    Can we stop this never ending argument?

    How about we all say 4 wins 18 losses and we get a shiny toy surprise. Any more and we don't.

    2009 is going to be a thin draft. I'm conflicted on what to do, trade up then or now? Not at all?

    2010 will be a fat draft (because of the increase in age) for the clubs with picks 6 - 13 and 16 - 30. But 2011 and 2012 will be back to a normal draft and if with the concessions still in place we better be on our way by then.

    PS. I am in favour of giving teams that lose players to GC and WS compensatory picks, but it's difficult to arbitrate that. I'm sure clubs will bring it up.

    it will stop if people dont get it wrong. 4 wins and a draw wont get us the pick.

    I did say LESS than 18, deanox. Since 16.5 is impossible to achieve, I thought it was just as poignant. If you can deduce a way to get between 16.5 and 18 points, thus rendering my statement inaccurate, I will accede to your superior knowledge.

    Just say, NOT MORE THAN 4 WINS.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
