What gives me the [censored] is our club hasn't leaked one little bit of info.

I want the old Melbourne back where Motor Mouth Connolly would open up with, tonight we will pick Jordon Gysberts, I assure you he will be better than our priority pick and pick one in a couple of years.

I want those leaks NOT!

I would suggest that in fact something HAS been leaked.

In the last few days it's suddenly been all aboard the Oliver train

i can't recall if it's already been suggested, but has anyone seen/read oliver & olisik at the same point in time?... last night's interactive social media session that oliver had on FB just had me asking a few questions..... if so, hi olisik! if we do end up drafting you tonight, it's gonna be pretty sweet having your insight into the dees for the next few years!

If Olisik is Oliver then I no longer want him.

When St Kilda overlooked Petracca and GWS took Plowman instead of Toumpas there was strong word in the last 48 hours before the draft that a change in thinking had occurred. This year it feels different. Not one journalist has listed Oliver as our first pick and done so with any authority. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the meeting mentioned in the article above as the basis for their selection of Oliver. I still think we'll pick Parish.

Im pretty sure he ment the back peddling some of those flogs do.. alot of fat jokes and when Oliver replies to them (in a lighthearted way) they back peddle pretty bad to the point where you could see them go red in the face.

Exactly.

The player we just 'had to pick' has been Parish and when there has been the player 'we had to pick' we have picked Watts, Morton, Scully, and Toumpas...

I have developed this affliction to ask 'who is the better player taken at 15 or 20.

Maybe Clayton Oliver is that better player usually taken later?

Why would Parish slag off Essendon and say Melbourne were really nice?

Maybe we told him we are going to take him?

All I was saying is that Quayle, Twoney and Anderson all sound like they're making educated guesses.

This is what Landsberger said on the morning of the 2012 draft:

After SuperFooty revealed this week GWS would pass on SA gun Jimmy Toumpas with its first three picks, the Dogs suddenly had the option of taking Bendigo Pioneers captain Ollie Wines. But it seems Wines, touted as possibly the second-best player in the draft pool, could slip as low as pick seven - and even then he creates a headache for Port Adelaide, which is also keen on home-grown talent Sam Mayes.

And Jay Clark said this last year:

ST KILDA will crown Paddy McCartin the No.1 draft pick, believing the full-forward is the man to lead its list rebuild.

The Herald Sun understands the Saints have settled on the 194cm goalkicker, who has been likened to Hawthorn spearhead Jarryd Roughead.

See how the language is far more definitive. That's what I mean by making their picks with 'authority'. They happily suggested they had the inside word and they did. Not so this year.

It could have gotten out of the Dons bag with a guess that we'll take Oliver... Dons then take X and Y leaving us with the Wiedeman.

Good article on Oliver here.

States how we met him at his home after the draft camp and that we were a lot nicer club to talk to than Essendon who ripped into him.

What a bunch of flogs!

Suck on these apples Essenscum.-

Melbourne considers Clayton Oliver with first pick: Plays like Ollie Wines

Oliver won me with this comment: “I do pride myself on being competitive. I always have ever since I was little. I just see the ball and want to get the ball. I always want to win. I never want to lose,” Oliver told Fox Footy...“I think they (Melbourne) like my inside work, my clean hands, work at the stoppages and competitiveness.”

I like the maturity in that...proud of his strengths and nothing egotistical about it!

The words underlined would be music to Jesse's ears...he made similar competitive comments after the RS award.

With that attitude Oliver will fit in nicely with the commitment our your brigade have made to winning.

For too long it was ok for our players to accept losing/floggings.

Can't help but think there is a new breed in Demon town!

Tend to agree C&B if it does go Oliver and Weideman you'd have to suggest that there was a leak somewhere, or they've all guessed correctly which is very unlikely. It would be funny now if they were all completely wrong. Would just go to show once and for all that they are all just guessing. Edited by hells bells

Interpretation is funny isn't it? How often has the above been used as an insult against a player...

Feels to me that its our choice Parish/Oliver and the bombers will deffo take the other. Then Francis is the clear best of the remainders, so the top 5 is pretty locked in.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
