Although I would love to grab Curnow at 4, Matheison at 10 to add to the midfield mix if Weideman is unavailable

I thought we had picks 3 and 7. Has it changed?

I dunno what planet youve been on for the last week but we've got picks 3 and 7

Don't know what planet you guys have been on, but that's how the new draft system will work. we have the 3rd and 7th live pick of the draft.

Some of the above clearly don't understand it, lol.

I should have said that we have been penalised for playing the system too well!

I agree that i don't think Francis will be available (unless we pick him at 3). One of Weideman or Curnow i'm hoping will be available at 7. If both are, instead of pulling my hair out wanting one or the other, i'll just back JT and his team in.

I think the assumption the lad is making is that he is taking into account bids on academy players.

From no level of expertise beyond reading a lot of other phantom drafts this certainly fits the common narrative.

If Essendon take both Curnow and Francis it really is heart in mouth stuff with the Gold Cast's pick, hoping they don't draft a tall - I imagine their probable pick was canvassed during the trade discussions.

My tip is as follows (not including the academy picks):

1) Weitering

2) Schache

3) Parish

4) Francis

5) Mathieson

6) Milera

7) Curnow

I'll be very surprised, if as you are predicting, we bid on Kennedy (GWS), I don't think Carlton will either - gotta be a sweetheart part of the pick trades we both made with GWS. I don't think GCS will bid on him either - it just creates bad karma for them with GWS in similar future situations. GWS has to be praying that Essendon doesn't bid on Hopper or Kennedy and then 10 is a live pick.

Thinking about it more i have decided to change

1. Jacob Weitering - Carlton

2. Josh Schache - Brisbane

3. Charlie Curnow - Melbourne

4. Darcy Parish - Essendon

5. Aaron Francis - Essendon

6. Wayne Milera - Gold Coast (again, hoping they don't take Weidman)

7. Sam Weidman - Melbourne

If Essendon take Weidman, Gold Coast will take Francis and i reckon we should take Mathieson to bolster our mids

No way Weideman slips past 7

Have heard from a reliable contact that he has a lot of work to do on his consistency/endurance

Could slip to 10-15

From reports on the site, Goodwin is set on him. My concern is the way he's testing he just doesnt seem to be outstanding in any of the categories. I know it's not the be all and end all. Watts was outstanding, Sam Mitchell was very average for example. But There is a chance with Parish that he jumps up to the next level and gets found out by the pace , and the physical and aerobic intensity. Risk for any draftee I guess. I dont have enough facts nor have ever seen him live so I just hoping that whoever is making the choice gets it right. Really can make or break this clubs aspirations.

So no chance we take Weid at 3?

The noise I'm hearing is that Parish is a lock at 3 and we are hoping for Curnow at 7

 

Weideman is a poor mans Jarrad Waite.

Prefer to take Parish and Milera/Mathieson

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
