Now i know its not very wise to be judging someone who hasnt played a game yet but did we make the right decision to pick up gysberts before a bigger key position player like talia or black? sheedy wrote during the week how a club needs 12 or more midfielders but was it worth giving up a big body who can also play forward or down back? feedback on gysberts form for casey would be appreciated

    No.

    Gysberts will be a gun.

    Sheedy is an old senile fool who is desperate for attention. Remember this is the imbecile who stated that Richmond were capable of winnign a premiership last year, and look how that turned out.

    How about Jetta. Ready made Gun. Picking Gysberts was a bit of a risk.

    Watch Cameron Schwab's Whiteboard Wednesday videos on YouTube.

    I am confident that the Club Picked Gysberts for a good reason-Give the kid the chance to show his stuff before any judgememnt is passed please.

    I think the best thing to do is to draft the best available player. I would have taken lucas ahead of Gysberts, but then I would have taken tapscott ahead of both of them.

    Agree with every word.

    Honestly making judgments now especially in comparison with Brock is silly.

    It will be at least 2-3 years before we can properly analyze Gysberts, sure we may see signs along the way but his afl career hasn't even started.

    How many games have Talia and Black played? You answer your own question as soon as you quote Sheedy. Whatever he says it is fair to say doing the opposite is probably the smart thing.

    I'm stoked we picked Gysberts ahead of Lucas. I suspect we would've taken Melksham if he was available at pick 11, but I think Gysberts will be a gun for this club.

    I reckon we nailed this draft.

    Dud. For the scrap heap along with Watts.

    As if we didn't take Luke Ball at pick 11. Disgrace.

    I am starting to think the expectations towards our draft picks by some posters on here is unrealistic

    There are some that will make the grade and some wont so lets just give them some time to develop

    I think the enjoyable part is watching kids develop along with the team

    You would be amazed how many future STARS spent long periods in the reserves before making their debut

    IMO this group of players has more upside than i have seen at Melbourne for many years

    We are still 2 years from finals and until then we will have our ups and downs

    The very best i have seen a Bailey coached team play was the 1 point loss to Collingwood

    Gysberts was chosen and we as supporters should embrace that and support the kid

    This what if we picked so and so is not being supportive at all

    I have absolutely no problem with Gysberts being taken at 11. Just because he hasn't made his debut yet is no reason to doubt his ability. We find ourselves in the enviable position of having too many players who deserve a spot in the team, and I for one am thrilled with that. I have no doubt that he will get his share of gametime as the year progresses and we'll see exactly why he was rated so highly.

    I think I will reserve judgement until I have seen him play 30 - 50 games.

    Yeah Blease is a hack as well. Hasn't made it so cut him :)

  • Quote

    Can't wait to see this kid play. I'm perhaps even more excited to see Blease play though, seeing he's been around for that extra season.

    Should have stopped after the first 17 words.

    I'm pretty gutted we didn't re-draft Issac weetra with pick 11....

    Give the kid a break. At least he played two more AFL games than you or I ever will.

    Well said, Swampy! Let's not get ahead of ourselves with our "armchair expert" judgements on the new kids. We have a LOT to look forward to. I, for one, very much look forward to seeing Gysberts making a great contribution to the MFC in the months and years to come. Would love to see the Club well and truly vindicated in their use of the draft pick graciously handed to us by Brock.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
