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.

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
