I still like Tommy Glen.

Gach Nuyon might be a good bet too, maybe for a rookie.

    I'm starting to think that Dunkley might find his way down to our pick and Greg Clark as well. Both could go in the 5 before ours but if not, they are 2 guys who were top 20 talents at the start of the year and have just had bad luck / bad form this year. Dunkley 189 and Clark 194, both mids and both have tanks. Clark's very impressive. Fits the Roos midfield build. Not what we 'need' as they dont have pace, but if they are there we would be silly not to take them.

    Same, I really like Glen. He is a very good decision maker and executes well. Glen and Skinner would be my roughies.

    Reminds me of Birchall.

    Agile tall, will put on size, lovely long kicks out of the backline hitting running players in stride.

    Clark is a good kid and is smooth to watch, I just have some doubts about his absolute desire to run through brick walls, because he is going to need to develop that to make the best of the tools he has at his disposal.

    The Herald Sun has reported that we are into Alex Morgan with our pick 46.

    Was a gun at TAC level in 2013 then lost his love for the game. Seeing his mates at AFL clubs has reignited his passion.

    Selling points:

    • 21 year old, big bodied rebounding defender
    • Fastest 20m sprint time (2.88 seconds)
    • Second in the relative vertical jump (71cm)
    • Champion Data rated Morgan’s Vic Metro games elite for contested possessions, intercept possessions and SuperCoach points

    Looks like a good pickup if he slips to 46?

    As an aside, not as uncommon as it might seem around this age, and not just in footy.

    Underscores just how much effort is needed, above/beyond ability.

    He's a 19yo, not 21.

    Yeah, 19. Thanks for picking that up. I misread one of the quotes about him.

    “He’s like a 21-year-old in a maturity sense, but like a 17-year-old in a footy sense because he missed last year and a chunk of this year.”

    The new order has us picks 45 and 49 ?

    I cannot understand why this has happened?

    Can anyone explain

    As far as I can tell, the Lions had ND42 but now they do not. The AFL may have made a mistake with a trade along the way...

    I know why - they only have 5 available spots on their list! 395 points lost because they didn't realise they couldn't go into the draft with more picks than open spots in their list. GWS has lost ND64 (101 Points) and Sydney has lost what would have been ND66~ and ND69~ (139 points).

    So the final order asks how many spots are on your list and then allows you to have as many picks at the start that you have spots on your list.

    Didn't the explanation of the new bidding system specifically say that you COULD have more picks than spots because you were going to spend them on your point-gathering?

    I don't think this is correct at all.

    No idea why the change though.

    Maybe an adjustment for teams that aren't able to bid and therefore utilise more picks than spare list spots?

    Wait till draft night and multiple picks disappear, lifting pick 46 now 45 much higher.

    strangely Im somewhat more intrigues with these picks than the first two :)

    I am pretty sure that is what has happened. I will have another look later.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
