Fair gamble on Sellar. Fact is your odds are between slim and none of picking up a decent kid that late.

Thin draft.

Disagree thats where Mcdonald was taken last year, good players make it through to the rookie draft, 50 is like just over half way through the draft.

Also James McDonald is now the oldest player ever to be drafted!!!

Would have loved Manson - can't believe he wasnt taken at all ... I was wrong.

    "I know Tynan was one player the recruiting team honed in on at No.36. There was a feeling he may not be there though in some respects." MB

    First Draft cliche for MFC.

    If Tynan was strongly considered for pick 36, why did it take so long/have to take extra time to pick Tynan when pick 52 came up.

    Barry Prendergast was interviewed on SEN and ... he sounded happy.

     

    He said there were diverse opinions opinons about the draft and so clubs approached their selections differently.

     

    In previous years there was an element of picking out needs but tonight we pretty much went for the best player at the picks we had.

     

    Rory Taggert is a big bodied midfielder that we were looking for and we're happy with him.

     

    Josh Tynan is a half back similar in many ways to Jack Grimes and this clould lead to us using Grimes in the midfield.

     

    James Sellar was in the demographic that we wanted - mature talls and Sellar and Mitch Clark have done that for us. Sellar has some versatility and is happy to come to Melbourne. The change of scenery gives him an opportunity.

    What a shock (twice)!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
