    We may well have pick 6 as well.

    I note Rohan is in and out of the side a bit. When Mitchell comes back they can't all play. They make like an early pick who will not cost much in the cap and who can be warehoused a bit.

    At the same time Vince, Salem, Tyson and JKH were all worth it.

    It will be interesting to see how he goes. There is always the ability to get him later...

    Would you rather we took him at 9 instead of Salem?

    No.

    I just wish he would have slipped to a later pick for us.

    Rohan was sub last week and came on for about a quarter; he failed to get a possession.

    Not sure why everyone on here wants us to put in a bid for him.

    Let Sydney train him up for 3-4 years and when we are cherry ripe for a tilt we can get him back :P

    I too am upset we couldn't get him, but it was never on the cards given his draft range. It would have been an insane bit of luck for him to drop far enough for us to grab him. I will be very interested in seeing what he can do and speculating on whether we might trade for him at some point.

    Wayne Carey gave Nathan Jones a jibe about Melbourne not playing on Friday nights, what a tool.

    He'll STFU when the dees beat his beloved Norf..

    Young zac doesn't look out of place

    He should be on our list.

    We should've told Zac Jones to slow down mid last year.

    He'd of slipped to us in the third round.

    Not a JKH fan?

    He would've politely told us to shove it and that he'll push his case just like every draftee. And his brother would've backed him up.

    Would've liked to have him but:

    Without the Tyson trade we would've had picks 2 and 21. Without the Vince trade we would've had picks 9 and 23.

    Zak Jones went at pick 15. And as good as he looked tonight I wouldn't yet trade him for Salem and the things I've seen Salem do if Jones ends up a better player than Salem it's not a drafting mistake it's just indicative of the gap in development that I hope doesn't happen.

    And we wouldn't have JKH

    Why is everyone saying he is destined to become a demon..?

    Is that because his brother plays for us?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
