yes please !!! tall key swingman, 197cm ish, very handy from the little I've seen & read... imo a really good fit for our group, his size & athleticism would add a lot of what we need.

Must admit that I haven't seen much of him, although he would be an upgrade on someone like Fitzpatrick and even a potential replacement for someone like Chip. I'd hazard a guess and say Carlton, St. Kilda and the Dogs will all chase someone like him very hard and they would have the cap room to make him a very decent offer. Not saying we won't chase him or that we can't get him, just that there will be plenty of competition for his signature.

 

Is a Carlton supporter and they are in to him, as well as every other player named as possibly moving clubs.

I would imagine if you could get a good mid from GWS for pick 3 he could be part of the deal.

Went to school with Viney - which gives us a link. But also went to school with McRae and Hrovat - which gives W Bulldogs a link - and they need KPPs. If he doesn't go to one of the strong clubs - I reckon the Dogs would offer him more than we will

After last night he would be embaressed to run out on the field with Carlton. I like your suggestion that he be packaged up with another Tyson-type mid from GWS, especially if Frawley departs and we can utilise the compensation pick for the swap!


I wouldn't offer more than our second round pick, someone will trump that

Likely to be at the Dogs next year. They have big need for KEY FWDS. He is target after Dogs missed Patton.

hopefully a Demon spanner will get into that works.

Spot on Derm get and go

Unless they get Frawley, as per Crawford's random speculation today.

Anyway, at this point Jaksch has show very little. Jaksch it, even. But that would appear to be mostly injury-related.

All that said, the phantom draft write-ups on Jaksch are pretty stellar, and really that is all we have to go on. Much like Tyson, really.

Would take him, but not at a high price.

Can't imagine any possibility of being embarrassed to run out on the field with Melbourne.

Judd was a Melbourne supporter, once Jaksch has had a look at our facilities....who cares. He hasn't shown much to date.

Well played, sir.

that is the time we have to pick them, early before the indian myna's attack.


Absolute no brainer. Taller, tougher version of Bontempelli and one of the best contested marks for his age that I have ever seen. The only reason he has flown under the radar is due to injury. A classic Dom Tyson scenario all over again if we can pull this off.

Carlton supporters reckon hes already in the bag

The brown paper bag???

 

What's all the fuss about with this kid? All I can see with him is that he was once pick 12 and shown very little in two years. If you could get him cheap, sure, go for it. But if talking about early round picks then wouldn't you be better served trying your luck on another tall in this draft?

Can only be in the bag if they can do a deal with GWS.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • 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.
