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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
