Anyone have any idea where he was roughly projected to go, prior to tonight? Just wondering- if he was expected to go later than pick 17 then that obviously leaves us with more options than we thought. Does this effect us, or not really?

6 - 12 prior to this.

    Agreed 100%.

    I wish everyone would shut up about Watts, he is seriously overrated.

    I am starting to warm to Sidebottom as our number 1 pick.

    Number 1 pick for Sidebottom, now you are being silly this guy will go in late first round or second round at worst, BOG in TAC G/F game does not warrant picked firstprefer the National championship form over that

    Hence the hype on the top three

    I remember the year Amon Buchanan was drafted, he got BOG in the TAC Cup GF for the Geelong Falcons after dominating in the midfield and then going to FF in the second half, doing a jeff farmer and winning the game for them by kicking 6 goals. Or it might have even been 8.

    Its not unheard of for a player to look superhuman in a game like that, then turn out to be thoroughly average at AFL level.

    Just wait till you see some highlights from the draft camp this week.

    I bet you'll change your number one pick to some random youngster that can jump really high.

    You are a fool.

    Look YM. Melbourne are going to pick Watts, no question. Best to start liking him or you will hate our best young player. I originally didn't want Watts but I decided to watch some game tape, seen him play 6 games now and he is the best. Start looking at positives because he is the number 1.

    Sidebottom doesn't deserve to be top 5, one amazing game doesn't equal the best. Ziebell, Hartlett, Vickery, Naitanui, Rich, Watts, Hurley are all better than him and would deserve our pick 1 ahead of him.

    Especially when he's not manned up by the opposition defenders who were ordinary. How did he go in the championships when he had quality players on him?

    Watts is the one. End of Story, get used to it.

    how did watts go in the tac cup when he had less quality players playing on him? answer: for a potential number 1 pick, he was useless..sidebottom dominates at that level like a top pick should

    yes..but watts won the larke medal for the best agains the best mate.

    i certainly know i'd rather take watts

    sidebottom was on some crappy defenders

    Probably better than Jack 'The Invisible Man' Watts in the carnival Final.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
