Today showed why we should take him with our first pick. 30 disposal 5 clearences and 7 tackles today against Vic Country. He is a 185cm 84 kg inside tough midfielder who is a ball magnet and can push forward and kick goals. Has excellent disposal and will be ready made Ollie Wines like.

Make it happen Melbourne!

 

Get him. He is exactly what we have been avoiding at the draft for the last 6 years (which means he is exactly what we need).

Toughness, ball winner and can use the footy, what's not to like?

Well we did not take Ollie why would we look at this bloke? We did not take D Martin, we did not take Scott Selwood, nor Jack Darling, nor a Hurley, we do not take nasty types with talent we only take nice kids in the first round, with talent yes, but no appetite for the contest nd who can't get the ball themselves.

Btw zac jones had another impressive game for vic country aswell.

 

Pick 2: Luke Dunstan

Pick 19: Trent Dumont

Pick 36: Insert quick outside midfielder who can get his own ball when needed?

Pick 54: Jason Pongracic

Pick 72: Chris Michaelides


Viney, Jones and Dunstan in the centre square, yes please.

Please. Every team didn't take Selwood or Darling once. Hurley isn't much chop at all, and would be worse with us, Martin has a tonne of talent but is so close to losing it all.

Of those 2 we're the equal of everyone else, another was a bloke that went were he should because he's either inconsistent or injured, and someone that could win you a flag or get caught using the team flights to smuggle coke.

I'd draft Martin to us in hindsight, but not with any confidence we could make a player or a citizen of him.

I like the height.

I've been worried our mids are getting too small...

Toumpas was a good choice and I'm excited to see what this preseason will do for him, but now the best thing to do is to go for the ready-to-play mid picks.

Agree. Luke Dunstan will be a STAR. I favour Dominic Sheed (WA) slightly over Dunstan but would be happy with either (ecstatic if we got both Dunstan and Sheed).

Dunstan is tough, solidly built, good LF kick, 185cms, 84kgs. All the attributes.

Yep, if we are unbelievably lucky enough to receive a priority pick straight after our first rounder, i'd go for both Dunstan and Sheed as opposed to Aish and say a Billings/Kelly or Boyd. Dunstan is predominantly inside who also can damage outside with his kicking, and Sheed is devastating outside, but is more than capable right in the guts too.

If both were to come in, then our midfield would include the likes of Viney, Toumpas, Dunstan, Sheed, Jones, M Jones (maybe even a Hartung if he's available in the second round). Whilst not complete, our midfield would start to be forming into a half decent one.

On the Hurley comment I'd say he'd make a very good tall defender for us but wouldn't get near it as a forward. Recruiting him would just mean either he or Tom McDonald would be battling away up forward. Neither would help our midfield!

I'm not so much worried about our very high picks I think we screwed them with development. It's the second and third rounders were we went chasing talent instead of performers that doesn't sit well with me.

It's hard to believe he's 18. Will be an A grader and has a great left foot. Would play 20 games with us next year. Reminded me of Stephen Powell, but a great kick.

Don't see a star, but who knows ? Built like Matty Boyd now, but can kick.


if we get a pp a midfield of trengove grimes sheed dunstan jones viney sylvia toumpas kent howe blease could be very good for us

Dunstan wasn't a clean one touch stoppage player today.

Perhaps it was a one off, but just on what I seen today - I'd be surprised if Dunstan goes top 3.

Aish didn't have the best game, but the obvious class is there, not sure he will go 1-2 either.

Scharenberg, Kelly and Sheed were standouts today.

A common school of thought is that Sheed won't go top 6-7, his major knock being that he is one paced. Today, he was the best player I seen.

Kelly was very good, runs all day and looks to have big upside.

I think Kelly taken that game by the scruff at times today and got Metro back into it.

Billings is considered a 5-15 pick, I doubt we'd take the punt on him early, but I wouldn't complain if we did.

For pick 9?

You're on drugs.

I have previously overstated how poor he is, but he still sits about 15-25 in this draft.

1. I'm not on drugs. How dare you.

2. I couldn't give two sh1ts what you have previously 'overstated' (check the dictionary on that one, buddy.)

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
