you can almost include Petracca in this draft lot,

Petracca and Oliver = Engine room for the next 10 years

Hogan and Weiderman = key forwards for the next 10 years

just to reiterate the obvious:

next year's inclusions to the side are Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg, Oliver, Weideman, Petracca and Trengove

not too shabby

seriously, how good is this midfield group?

jones
vince
viney
trengove
tyson

According to Sam landsberger, "Essendon stole the show with seven shrewd selections", please let this be another wines/toumpas fiasco... Also they hardly stole the show, a lightly framed mid who displays no exceptional speed, endurance or skill and a utility whom most are unsure as to where he will play at afl level. If anything I think Brisbane had a great draft. Notwithstanding getting Schache - the tall toward they desperately needed - securing academy players Eric Hipwood and then Ben Keays (who i think will be a gun) the latter much later than predicted allowing them to swoop on Rhys Mathieson with pick 39 (painfully close to our 3rd pick), allowed them to adress their needs whilst avoiding any strong go home factorr, all in all a great draft for the lions.

I assume he's just another essendrugs supporter, so what's the point, just another garbage journalist spewing out biased cr*p. I'm surprised he didn't take a pot at melbourne whilst he was at it, then he'd have all bases covered.

Something that is bugging me and is hardly related to the MFC but really gets me is why the hell SOS is rated so highly as a recruiter! he's screwed up so many more picks than he's gotten right.

2012 he grabbed...1: Whitfield ( looks good but obvious choice )

2:O'rourke ( gone to hawks after showing little )

3: Plowman ( gone to blues after showing little )

12: Jacksh ( gone to blues after showing little )

14: Corr ( looks okay, but not standing out )

2013 1. Boyd ( gone to dogs after showing little )

2. Kelly ( looks a player but obvious pick 2 )

14: McCarthey ( good but wants out already )

2014 4. Picket ( eh, did he even play? )

6. Marchbank ( looks okay )

7. Ahern ( meh )

11 selections inside the top 14 in 3 years and imo 2 players that look like long term giants is a Melbourne-like result.

hope his strike rate is better at the blues, for their sake.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
