We missed Ollie Wines, let's not make the same mistake.

Imagine this kid in the centre square, will cause explosions with Viney for the next 10 years. Much better prospect then Curnow in my opinion. By far

    That was before I watched Oliver's highlight reel.

    I rate them both over Mr 14 average disposal Curnow.

    Not enough of an impact for a top 10 prospect. J Howe had more of an impact

    Are you serious? You are comparing a midfielder to a key forward this year mate which is absolutely ridiculous

    Curnow isn't a key forwArd. In fact in his own bio he says himself he isn't even sure what position is his.

    Only 4cm between the two.

    And this shows you did not watch any game of Curnow. Thats where they played played this year due to coming back from a long term injury. We all don't know what his best position is but fact is they played him as a key forward this year.

    Too risky for me for a top 7 pick.

    Site bitching aside, this kid obviously has some serious ability.

    How did he go at the combine? If he has the tank and some skills to go with that mongrel he's got to be right up there.

    He missed the pre-season with OP. Started slowly because of it, that is why he didn't get an invite to the Nationals. Didn't poll many votes in the first half of the season, but came home like a steam train in the second half of the year - and won the Morrish medal. I have no doubt he is the best mid in the draft, but whether we take him or not is another story. But he should be still there at 7.

    Hmm, I worry a little that he looks like the next Brent Moloney. You know - if a coach says 'move the ball quickly, take the first good option' he will be thinking 'ME! I'm the first good option!'

    There's just something in those highlights that made me think he wasn't as aware of his teammates as an onballer needs to be at AFL-intensity.

    Would be nice if the highlights showed where the ball went after he kicked it.

    Looked good though.

    And he won't be able to break tackles that easy at AFL level. His disposal looks average if that's his highlight reel.

    Curnow is not a midfielder now and would need a lot of work and maintenance put into him before he could ever be a regular in the midfield. If you think we can pick him up and make him a midfielder, you're kidding yourself. It might happen but the percentage chance is low. He's more of a third forward now and might never be more than that.

    Where have i mentioned anything about him being in the midfield?

    Completely missed the point.

    Missing pre-season with OP makes me think of Colin Sylvia. To think we were punting a Premiership with him and Brock Maclean as two top five picks. We thought at the time that they were the top mids in the draft.

    Please stop making outlandish comments about who we 'must' take based on YouTube videos. I beg you.

    Please don't pass on Ollie!!!

    Who will it be next week...it was Mathieson last week, Oliver this week.

    I can't wait until the next batch of AFL videos come out so you can tell us who the next mistake of the decade will be.

    The sad case is that the 03 draft was a stinker.

    If you look at the players in the top 40 taken after them the only players better were David Mundy at 19 and Jed Adcock at 33.

    Hell, better players were taken in the rookie draft. Our own Aaron Davey at 3, Andrew Carrazzo at 2, Nathan Foley at 4 and Paul Duffield at 10.

    Not sure what your watching as Jordie sure in hell couldn't kick a goal.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
