Hoping...

#3 Oliver... bulldozing mid

#7 Weideman... classic tall marking forward

#42 Mason Redman... skilled goalkicking fwd (Gunston like)

#46 Gach Nyuon... Ruck

Close to what I was thinking. Hoping we go for Nyuon, could use another developing ruckman.

    I think we should definitely take Oliver. If you look at his highlights on the Draft Machine, he is more powerful,clever, better kick and better around goals than Parish

    Yeah the highlights on draft machine are enough to deliver a statement like that with confidence.

    FFS.

    Look, at this stage it's impossible to tell which of Parish or Oliver will be a better player in 3 years time. Not to mention whether either of them will become superstars in time.

    Although nothing's more certain than the fact that whoever picks the better player in 3 years time will be hailed as a genius and whoever picks the other will be damned as an idiot.

    Really? What happens if they both are good players in 3 yrs time?

    It's still Parish for me. I don't see our need of an Oliver type as great with Viney, Brayshaw, And Vanders (all bullocking players with skill- Vanders taken in the rookie draft FFS), our need for a quick minded player who can lower the eyes instead of the long bomb is needed more right now.

    It doesn't make sense to upgrade 6 to 3 for a player in Oliver that wasn't on the radar. It does for Parish who by all accounts was a target for the druggies who had 4&5.

    Go Parish, find the "in and under" depth with a latter pick.

    I can't believe anyone thinks Oliver is a better kick than Parish, in the game i watched him play, he had 16 kicks and i remember 4 hitting a target, he just bombed it long and hoped.

    Talented as all of Parish, Oliver and Milera seem to be, it would be pretty disappointing to not come out of this draft with a key fwd.

    Agree. Need to tick that one off at either 3 or 7.

    Before Academy Selections:

    #3 - Oliver (where there's smoke..........)

    #7 - Weideman (hopefully he'll be available, if he is we need to pull the trigger)

    #45 - Lovell (our draft pick will go up a fair few places, his height could see him slide - though it really shouldn't)

    #49 - Gach Nyuon (we need some more ruck support and he may not be there come rookie draft time)

    A surprise was that Carlton and Ess did not bid for any academy players.

    Early on I thought GWS/Lions were going to get their top players for nicks!

    Thankfully GCS and Richmond came to the rescue.

    Fair chance Carlton and Ess were positioning themselves to trade up for the academy clubs early picks next year!

    Did the Bulldogs blow pick 25 on Dunkley?

    They expected Sydney to match the bid and they didn't.

    Beveridge sure looked confused and uncertain!

    Not surprised Sydney didn't take Dunkley.

    He nominated them last week only after he saw where he might be drafted.

    That doesn't show much desire to really commit to the Swans.

    Could have been seen as just being opportunistic...not the Swans type

    If Bulldogs expected Swans to match the bid they didn't do their homework very well.

    Did the Bulldogs blow pick 25 on Dunkley?

    If they did, then they more than made up for it by drafting Kieran Collins with the next pick. Good get at 26!

    It doesn't make sense to upgrade 6 to 3 for a player in Oliver that wasn't on the radar.

    what do you mean he wasn't on the radar ? how do you know that?. the journos had Melbourne and Essendon interviewing and all over Oliver. just because he came on in the second half of the year doesn't mean clubs did want him. sounds to me if we didn't take him, he was gooooone by pick 9.

    Where did Rhys Mathieson end up?

    I reckon he'll be a superstar like Eli Templeton.

    So he'll play a great game against us & then disappear off the face of the earth?

    Pick 39 to Brisbane Mach5,

    So he went well outside the top 20? What a shock.

    They're assembling quite the rag tag bunch of moronic loose cannons up there.

    Mathieson, Mitch Robinson, Allen Christiansen, Dayne Beams...

    They just need to bring Beamer & Sylvia out of retirement.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
