I've leaned towards Parish because:

  1. He's got that speed of thought and action that's especially important at AFL level where time and space become more limited
  2. He's consistently proved that he can do it against the best competition that could be mustered in his age levels.

Ok, my guess is:

Pick 3 - Parish (or I can live with Oliver should the club consider him the better option, seems it's got to be one of those 2 as Essendon look likely to take Francis & whichever mid we don't take at 3, they need players who can step in ASAP).

Pick 7 - Weideman...... I don't want to 'reach' for a type, whether mid or tall at either pick, but I actually like the look of this guy & don't mind the look of McKay also. However if the club decided Milera or someone else is best here, again I'll back the current group given the last 2 years. I do think we need some more tall depth, however realistically, no matter which tall we take early or late in the draft, they will spent the majority of 2016 developing at Casey, which given the comments made by Mahoney about getting next year's 1st rounder in this year (a year earlier) I reckon we'll go tall here.

Parish for me. I still think he fills a need and appears to have the right tools to be a good player.

This draft does smell a bit like the 2003 draft. Not too many people making noise about anyone in particular. You have to just hope our picks pan out.

I have just changed from Oliver (formerly Parish) to Francis based on Quigley's wrap. Happy for Oliver to go at seven (7)!

Anyone mentioning the 2003 draft needs to take a good, long, hard look at themselves. Our two picks in the top five of a draft that turned out to be one possibly the worst ever. Typical of Melbourne's luck that the same picks the next year would have yielded Ryan Griffin and Lance Franklin instead of the Sylvia and McLean.

No we are a different club making our own luck these days. All we need to do is get within cooee of our drafting from last year which I reckon will end up being our very own super draft; Brayshaw, Petracca, ANB, Stretch, vandenBerg and even both White and O Mac could prove to be more than handy.

I'm going with Oliver at 3, not because I know anything, but just because I like big, bustling and aggressive mids.

But whoever we pick, I honestly believe these days, we will nail it

    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.
