Like Scully, a class act all round. I can't see how they can be split as No.1 pick, and though I'm sure that neither of them would be fazed by missing out, IMO we should make them joint No.1.

what the hell are you talking about? We can't just choose to do that, the procedure is that they say 'no.1 melbourne?' and we say a name then they say 'no.2 melbourne?' and we say another name. Prendergast isn't going to say 'sorry Vlad we are taking two x 1.5 in the interests of equality' even if we did do that we would have to say one name first wouldnt we? Or should we say TrenScullyGove?

not to mention we would look like a bunch of amateur twats

    Just a question here? Does the number 1 pick get a higher sign on contract than the other draftees?

    I don't think so - aren't they paid according to the round they were picked in?

    Sorry Curry, you just shot yourself in the foot. This year, the draft (top10) is read out in reverse order. So, unless you are in the inner sanctum, you will hear pick 2...Melb, followed by pick 1 Melb...

    Gee, and you talk about amateur twats!!! (jokes )

    1st pick gets 10k bonus, 2nd pick gets a 5k bonus.

    I really doubt the motivation for playing is based on money especially in the first few years

    We dont want a Mark "scud" fullofpizza,s on our hands

    If the issue of who was taken at #1 DID become a point of some kind of contention between the two, I would consider it an opportunity for one or the other to bring it up, talk it over, and come out closer for it. How they handle one another at training, in matches and in the media (as well as socially obviously) will be the defining aspect there. They could be closer mates for it?

    We've seen how they handle one another on the field this year. Scully came out of it with some interesting fashion in the face bandaging area.

    I actually had a nightmare last night that we took someone else at number two. Was so relieved when I woke up.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
