It doesn't really matter that much...as long as we win less than 5 games, that means we get pick 2, 18 and 21, as opposed to 1, 17 and 20.

In this years draft there seem to be 3 genuine contenders for the number 1 draft pick (as was in 2001).

1 is a KPP (Watts), 1 a ruckman (Naita) and 1 a midfielder (Rich)/ So either way, pick 2 we will get 1 of these 3 which we will all be happy with.

As for the consequences in the PSD of coming second, i highly doubt WCE will pick up Warnock in the PSD considering they have Cox and Seaby.

Seaby is a quality young ruckman who is playing a lot of footy in the WAFL because WetToast dont have room for him. they dont need ruckman, they will most likely look for a player like Prismall... which leave Warnock open to us anyways

Warnock wants to return to Melbourne so WC aren't going to pick him. I'd say we'll trade him for a 3rd round pick and then grab Primsall in the PSD

'sylvinator', if we win as many as 4 wins & a draw, then we will miss the priority pick....(16.5 pts = not more than 4 wins)

that's true...

neways... about the idea of getting Prismall PSD and offering 2nd rounder for Warnock (pick 21)... i like the sound of that.

However if we don't come 16th then all plans go out then window bc westcoast will have first crack at any uncontracted player.

They will then most likely pick up Prismall if he nominates...


we are not trading good draft picks for warnock

psd or nothing in my opinion

we learned this with meeson

Damn you West Coast for getting a goal on the Siren and getting .34% for your rubbish franchise to be .12% ahead of us.

The Dees need to win or loose by a slim Margin to bring justice by the rounds end. I think we need to make sure we don't finish with the Spoon just for the mental damage of being part of a team that finishes last when the list is so young. I think we need to play for Watts in the Draft and forget about Warnock as well, unless West Coast are willing to give him to us for a couple of packets of Strapping Tape and a 6 Month Subscription to The Age.

Don't underestimate what MacGyver could do with a wooden spoon, a newspaper and some tape. The guy could probably win a Premiership with it. Particularly with a couple of good draft picks.

Haha, good call. If we had MacGyver in the Ruck and our current list, I think we could go places in a short space of time.

Ooooh. Nearly.

.12? So if we lost by 5 goals or so our percentage would improve JUST enough to pip them.

First half of the season we were easily the worst side in the comp. Now we're almost out of the bottom 4 on current form.

Wouldn't it be nice to rebuild and have a crack at a flag WITHOUT winning a wooden spoon?


missed.......by "THAT " much !!! :D :D :D

Very topical bub...

Would you believe by 10pm Sunday night chief? B)

PS: The Eagles in their current format have to be the best club for any young player to make his AFL debut against. Just ask Brad Dalziell who got 32 touches for the Lions last night at the Gabba.

On that basis, I would suggest to the MFC selectors that they keep Saturday 16 August free for the debuts of Jack Grimes, Addam Maric, Tom McNamara, Kyle Cheney, Jake Spencer and Trent Zomer as well as for the triumphant return of Isaac Weetra and the farewell game for Benny Holland if he recovers in time from that shoulder injury.

Damn West Coast. Anyway, a win today puts the two west australian teams in the bottom two spots on the ladder, which should be enough reason to go for a win.

    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.
