Would of Love to see him in the Melbourne Chair Come Draft time.

Who is our head recruiter?

Is any one actually worried we might not have a proven recruiter with a good track record next to his name?.

    We looked at this several months ago. Worth discussing again IMO. Isn't Rendell now at Coll? What's happening with the 2IC at Coll who is supposedly coming to us? Are we largely going to be led by Tod Viney and Tim Harrington going into this draft? Now we only have a couple of 2012 games to go, the draft must be a major priority.

    Edit: Interesting that many have bagged Prendegast for his legacy, yet no one has commented on Harrington part in our list selection.

    Quite agree with that, it was farcical when we had to ask listed players to go back on the Rookie List so we could draft other players without having to delist any of the "Stars" that BP recruited.

    Yep, he must come under scrutiny and yes we should have pushed for Rendell, I don't think he has signed on at Collingwood.

    My recollection is that Collingwoods Recruiting 2 IC - Jason Taylor? - will assume role of Recruiting Head after the draft and Viney will return to his GM Player Development Role.

    Taylor wanted to join Neeld at Melbourne but was made by the Pies to serve out the final year of his contract.

    Well let's hope that Taylor is really [censored] off with the Pies and leaves them with a load of rubbish. I guess as a professional, he won't, but one can but dream.

    But seriously, this IS our most important draft and I hope that any potential perceived conflict of interest on Todd's part does not effect adversely on his calls, either by being "too easy" or overcompensating and being too harsh on the JV call.

    I'm sure that's why JMac was delisted because there were very few players out of contract. We had to free up the list to be active in the National Draft. Very poor list management during that period.

    Taylor is definitely on Coll's staff list still. No mention of Rendell on it, though. I was under the impression Rendell had been poached by Bucks. If Taylor's future is with us, why doesn't he just resign and leave? Everyone in AFL circles gets poached if they are good and has to break a contract at some point. Neeld did it to come to us, Malthouse did it to go to the Pies (and broke it to leave them). Could it be deemed a restraint of trade to force him to stay? As many have said, this could be a make or break draft for the Dees.

    Rendell? [censored] no ... why have someone like him when you can have a past champion there to call out the name of his own son in the most important draft in the club's history?

      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.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

      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.
