Well, after the underwhelming finish to the trade period who will we take with Pre Season Draft Pick 2?

    I'm hoping for a disgruntled, newly delisted, sanction-free Essendon player.

    Yes, I live in fantasy land.

    the PSD is not what it used to be now thanks to the Delisted free agent thing

    Doubt we get anyone good

    Yep, we've had far better opportunities in previous years to take a PSD pick and haven't done so. I fully expect us to sit tight and tolerate the likes of Evans for another year.

    It should have been Frost. If there was anyone worthwhile out of contract it would have been reported through the media. Unlikely we use the PSD pick.

    I guess we will have a better idea when/if someone of note doesn't nominate for the draft.

    Hang on, just let me finish this burnout.......

    Nope, I can spell! :P

    i dont understand why we would use basically an end of rnd 1 pick for him when we could have gotten him for nothing in the pre-season draft instead?

    what is the advantage of getting the two later more speculative when pick 23 would have a better chance for success in what i believe has been called an "even-talent pool" at the top end

    Let's not turn this thread in to a 'woe is me' 'why did we do that' thread, enough of that happening elsewhere.

    Anyone else keen to actually put up some names of who they would take in the existing PSD pool?

    I don't think so unless the belt on the no DH rule has been seriously loosened :blink:

    A fair point, but I am interested to see at some stage the likely candidates that would go PSD as opposed the ND. Just seems with FA that its all been shaken up some. Still more than one way home.

    Agreed!

    Lets go in the polar opposite direction. Has GAJ re-signed? :rolleyes:

    So far we have 0 list spots.

    And picks 2, 3, 40, 53, PSD 2.

    Unless we get to 4 delistings we wont use it.

    So far I can only see 3 delistings - Blease, Strauss, Tapscott

  • Quote

    Can pay out contracts and looking at existing list there are players there that I'd have over Evans, Mckenzie and several others. For example, who would you prefer, Mckenzie or Clint Jones?

    Which begs the question, why bother even negotiating the picks we got back from GWS? Or at the very least pick 53?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
