Brad Green and Cameron Bruce were picked up in the 1999 draft. I was wondering who the others were and if anyone out there knows the actual order of picks. I know Bruce was a late pick but I can't remember where the others sat in order. Thanks anyone!

    Yes, but Nugget is right also. Bruce (along with Peverill incidentally) were on Melbourne's supplementary list in 1999 and played very well in our reserves.

    Many thanks Nugget. We didn't see much of Michael Clark,Shannon O'Brien (who?),and Steven Pitt did we? One trade that was bad was Mathew Bishop for Clark.As we all know Bishop was a great defender in the strong Port Adelaide sides. Also James Cook was a bit of a flop. I thought Paul Wheatley was around this time but had forgotten Matty Whelan. Just goes to show how high number drafts can be so valuable. eg Bruce- Twice runner up B&F, and now B&F. Also remember Dean Kemp of WC being in the 70's and what a great player he was. We haven't been too lucky with our EARLY draft picks recently ( with a couple of exceptions of course). Let's hope that this year will be vastly different. Once again thanks for your research.

    Bruce was originally a supplementry listed player and the club made a decision between him and Peverill on who to draft.

    For prvious drafts I use footywire.com, very comprehensive and you can do searches by club or by the year of the draft.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
