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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
