How do Essendon and GWS have picks 19 and 20?

Essendon have an end of first rd compo for being drug cheats (part of penalty negotiated with AFL) and GWS got a compo pick traded back to them which they have activated for this years draft. It is likely a comp that was originally given to a club for having a player poached by GWS in the first place.

    To all the hindsight draft genius's out there please enlighten us on who we should take in order to save the next reincarnation of Toumpas vs Wines. Jarrod Pickett had a blinder today in a losing side in the colts Prelim. With Meth Coast craving some midfield speed and size they may take him and bank on Blakely falling to their second round pick

    This one is pretty even 'Pennant', if we take Brayshaw I think he will be a good player for us. Laverde interests me but I haven't seen enough to stick my neck out on him, McCartin has had a bit of an off year with injury and I could see him doing a Jack Darling.

    I really liked the look of Petracca live and his appetite.Brayshaw looks a good solid mid with dual disposal which is often overlooked but very important at the next level. Do we keep the picks and take both with a view of a McRae Stringer type outcome or do what we did last year. I'm leaning towards the second option the but will trust the footy department

    I think we might split them, take one and trade the other. A lot depends on what is on offer, clubs talk big but then don't come good when the time comes. I have faith in the FD as well Pennant.

    Pick 2 or 3 or even both will be traded for the right deal. Roos has stated that we can't rely on bringing in 8 kids like we have in th past. I just hope we trade for another quality player (like Tyson has been) yet use one of 2 or 3 to grab a quality mid like Petracca or Brayshaw. Tyson, Salem, Viney, Toumpas Petracca/Brayshaw. That could develop into a great midfield core while Jones, Vince, Cross, Trengove (fingers crossed) and whoever we trade for can lead the way for the now. Keeping the list balanced.

    Corey Ellis and Tom Lamb are both very good players who could easily slide to our second round pick, it would be interesting to see if we rate Stretch ahead of someone like Ellis

    Can't see the Saints going past Wright or McCartin. They are in desperate need for a developing tall, especially if they delist Tom Lee which looks likely. The only way I can see them going for Petracca with pick 1 is if they trade in a tall like Jaksch. Hopefully that doesn't happen and Petracca falls to us at pick 2.

    Be really good if we were able to draft Oscar McDonald - Tom's younger brother. Sounds like a good one.

    Just announced on 1116 that Saints will take Petracca. Would we take Brayshaw and Mccartin?

    Bugger. Didn't hear it. Was it announced directly by a Saints official or was it a claim by a SEN person?

    Lets be more specific, Jon Ralph believes the Saints will take Petracca. Ffs people this is how rumours start when what was actually said is not reported correctly

    It's really not that important anyway, we should be well over the one player will help us thing and the great white hope number one selection.

    FWIW the 2 best up and coming mids in the game are Fyfe pick 20 and Parker pick 40. I still think Dean Gore will be a steal at anywhere from 20 to rookie.

    Fine with that. Trade pick 2 to the doggies for a player and pick, grab Brayshaw with 3.

    Petracca higher risk for mine, Brayshaw looks like the safe bet

    Havent seen much of Mccartin but if we couldnt orchestrate a trade could we pick him up? Dawes, Hogan, Mccartim

    Hasn't been as good this year as last but I think we could. He can play and is hard at it like Hogan.

    Trade 2 to the Bulldogs. They can draft a KPF, we'll take one of their fringe midfielders and second rounder. Keep 3 for Brayshaw.

    That is not smart. The Dogs are desperate for a KPF, we would want one of their best mids for that trade.

    Would have thought keeping 2 for Brayshaw and trading 3 to WB would have still given them their KPF but absolutely ensured we got Brayshaw.

    And 3 is overs for a fringe mid and 2nd rounder.

    Bulldogs will only do that trade to get a KPF. It won't matter what pick we give them- they're not going to trade a midfielder to get that pick and replace it with another younger midfielder.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
