Lets imagine Toumpas & Wines along with Whitfield aren't available to us @ Pick 4, who next would you prefer @ P4?

I'll list some player options from the expected top 10. And some big guys may turn out to be Mids.

Who would be our next inline for what we need?

    strange thread....come on Thursday.

    Can we get garry ablett senior to come out of retirement and be twenty years younger for this hypothetical?

    I'd go one of Stringer, Menzel or Grundy. Maybe Kennedy but he doesn't seem to be as highly rated as he was a few weeks ago.

    Cant make up my mind between Grundy and O'Rourke.

    Eenie meenie miney mo...

    O'Rourke

    Having seen him a couple of times, I reckon O'Rourke has the toughness of Morton - at the same age

    "Reg" Grundy

    Feeling confident we'll get who we might want come Thursday. There will be a number of well credentialled kids available when its our turn and it should put a nice bit of icing on the cake. Not fussed and happy to leave with those in charge. From where I sit they have made significant change which is never easy , bold and required courage. From these actions its evident there won't be more of the same from last year and immediately prior.

    Stringer, unless Toumpas is available i would have Stringer next in line.

    I just heard that the AFL predicts we'll snare Jimmy Toumpas.

    Really looking forward to seeing how things pan out on Thursday. It seems like a lot of prospects have either risen or fallen in the rankings in past few weeks, with notable examples in Twomey's mock being Stringer, Grundy, Plowman and O'Rourke

    Stringer, unless Toumpas is available i would have Stringer next in line.

    It's interesting seeing that Twomey has Stringer sliding to Collingwood at #18. I would have thought that he was a lock for a top 10 pick.

    Grundy or Plowman. Our list would benefit by securing either the best 'big man' or the most talented defender in the draft!

    Can't see Stringer going down that far but if the 'Pies' get him it will be a major win for them. If he slides there will be a lot of unhappy supporters at clubs next year, a little bit of Darling hindsight will be going on.

    I do rate Grundy, but I can't imagine any scenario that would see us taking him. We already have a lot of young talls that we rate highly, and midfielders need to be our priority at #4.

    I think the Dogs will take him, and if not them, Richmond.

    Alot could unfold, Menzel and Stringer could be genuine chances at both our pick or GWS's imo both rated top 3-5 minimum on talent by many just injured and we have seen these types the Judds and Selwoods come back and say Really? you all missed me ? i just dont think Wines is the top 4 talent with these guys floating around

  • Quote

    out of grundy or menzel, grundy will be the best ruckman in the league in 5 years time, and menzel could be anything, just too many questions over his knee

    theres talk that clubs might not even take a risk of garlett now, would love him but without the baggage

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
