Ohh the guy who emphatically stated no less than a week ago that Curnow would be our first picked, that guy?

We could very well end up selecting Oliver but Brett Anderson would have just as much clue as you or I.

Are yes, the famous quote that was referenced that made me ask for a link. I was then critised for not believing said poster.

Of course, in reality Anderson was doing nothing more than guessing, which he has since confirmed.

He's still guessing, but it's an educated guess now.

Heard Worsfold interviewed just now...sound very much like they will take a tall at 4 or 5. Could mean Weidman will be gone by 7.

Great, even better for us! If they take Weideman then that'll leave us with either Parish or Francis for pick 7 (assuming Ah Chee is drafted by Gold Coast)

And Curnow.

My late mail is that we'll bid on Mills at 3 and then take Weideman at 4.

We want him too much and aren't prepared to risk him not being available at our 2nd pick.

We like Oliver, Parish and Francis and will take whichever one is still there at our 2nd pick.

I'd be happy with this outcome.

We need to add to our midfield so would prefer Parish or Oliver over Francis.

Highly doubt we'll take Weideman at 4.. but wait and see.

This would probably go against what Goodwin was just talking about 30 minutes ago....

This makes perfect sense if we really want Weideman.

How reliable is your "mail".

Before trade period I heard second hand from Sam's dad that Melbourne were definitely the most interested club. A few days ago I heard again that Mark thought Sam will be going to Melbourne. It sounds like we do definitely want him, but how much we want him compared to Oliver/Parish I have no idea.

I am slowly coming around to Sam Weideman being a demon now. I do admit he is a impressive in the way he speaks and presents himself. at 196cm with vice like hands it is a bit exciting.

My biggest worry is obviously his body..

Pretty good I think mate. From a Foundation Club member that has caught up with a couple of key people this week. If this doesn't happen, top office feed our top Members cr*p.

How will you all be watching the draft tonight?

Don't have FOXTEL and would have been watching it from my phone (In-app subscription/ not live pass) but broke it two days ago.

Does anyone know if you can stream it through the AFL website "Live Pass" login???

If so I'll just pay the $5 for a "weekly pass".

Goody just said we will take best available with 3 and 7 and not neccasarily a forward, so we could end up with Oliver and Francis

Thanks mate, I have a feeling it will start at 6:30 pm so the commercials should stop soon.

Are you watching via your phone, tablet or PC?

Tablet. AFL TV with some old footage on. The thumbnail says 2015 NAB DRAFT though.

Im watching it on Foxtel tonight.. After our first 2 selections il switch over to 503 and watch the draft live instead of the interviews and all that media stuff.

You got the "Welcome to Melbourne Football Club - Clayton Oliver" thread ready to go Oli?

They turn existing one into that. Already done the post though :)

Getting all too excited now! Hopefully this will be the last time we have picks in the top 10 for a long time.

Good luck to Jason Taylor and his crew.. Will be absolutely backing him to nail this draft like he has the past couple of years.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
