I am confused. I thought we needed pacey mids with outside game. However, we got a bull and three big guys. I am just confused. Not critical. I would trust those in the know

    How many friends does Jesse need?

    Interesting selections given that many on here we're thinking - with some justification - that we still need mids, mids and more mids.

    But we didnt need mids, mids and more mids. That was a myth.

    We stocked up on them in the 2013 and 2014 drafts.

    Maybe our recruiting team just wanted to stimulate some angst on this board :-)

    Melksham,Kennedy,Bugg and Oliver Four mids ready to play

    Wiedeman and Hulet Two forwards

    Mitch King One Ruckman

    Pretty balanced

    Maybe there is a Prestia coming and next year we go mids and pace. Also we added Kennedy.

    J Taylor on Hulett: He could develop into a strong key forward, as he has good hands overhead. He’s a good set-shot kick at goal. #AFLDraft

    Dont mind this pick at all. We know the draft tapers off here and have taken some talls to develop.

    He only played a few games this year.

    Anyone know exactly what type of injuries have held him back?

    A 193cm utility whose top-up year in the TAC Cup was cruelled by an ankle injury that restricted him to just two outings for the Dandenong Stingrays this year. He played mainly for his local club at Bonbeach, but the recruiters were intrigued enough to ask that he play in the Young Guns game last August. Usually a ruck/forward, he played at centre half-back and showed promise running the ball out of the backline.

    Ankle doesn't sound sooo bad. But I guess it must have been to keep him out a year. Hopefully its behind him.

    actually it's under him :)

    Precisely Dr D and if Garlett and the like can't have a field day feeding off these blokes they never will.

    Hulett showed flashes in his games, I reckon we'll look at him as a key back. Stingrays thought he was a chance late on, but otherwise thought he'd be back as 19yo with a chance to go much higher in '16 than where we picked him.

    I know Saints did a tonne of work on him.

    Jarrod knows his Stingrays, this on Hulett:

    @ChaserJay When fit he would've been elite in TAC Cup. Ruck and forward ala Tippett.

    Hopefully plays a little like Jack Darling

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
