"Yeah so you should with all your draft picks"

If there's anything this whole Clayton Oliver thing has taught me is that no matter what your club does, opposition supporters will start to get scared when the status quo begins to shift and the laughing-stock is no longer quite so funny. Draft picks, AFL "charity", Paul Roos being given to us by the AFL, "tanking", the premiership drought and associated irrelevance of the MFC, low supporter numbers, "staging" (during the halftime break no less)....

The list goes on. The only people whose opinion on the MFC we should give a rat's tossbag about are Melbourne supporters. Everyone else is irrelevant.

    Ask em if they mind that we also get QB as a home game. I have Magpie mates at work who always bring that up. I really gets up their nose

    Hmm, I wonder.

    Daniel Wells (pick 2), Lynden Dunn (15), James Aish (7), Varcoe (15), Treloar (GWS concession pick, de facto 2), Hoskin-Elliot (4), Adams (13), Grundy (18), Scharenberg (Pick 6), Freeman (10), De Goey (5), Moore (F/S 9), Sidebottom (11), and Pendlebury (5).

    Top 6 picks -   6.  First round picks total - 14

    vs

    Lewis (7), Jones (12), Watts (1), Melksham (10), Trengove (2), Tyson (3), Hogan (mini 2), Salem (9), Brayshaw (3), Petracca (2) Weidemann (9), Oliver (4).

    Top 6 picks - 7. First Round picks total - 12.

     

    HAAA HA HA HA HA.

    Hey look, it's another way Collingwood can go and eat ---- .

    I couldn't care what other supporters say or think. The 1st game of Footy i remember going to was the 1970 GF, since then i have watched just about every other club win Flags. 12 of those going to Whorethorn!!

    let's win 6 in a row just for starters, like we should have done with The Red Fox 

    being despised and hated as a club will be a joyous thing

    Yeah that is the outlier here. No way in hell was he worth pick 26, he would've got top 10 for sure. 

    But as has been said, as we get better we will get more and more hate coming our way, and I love it. How patronising has it been over the years hearing opposition supporters say "oh I like Melbourne, they're my second team because they haven't had much success."

    I want us to be a team hated and feared.

    Now that we've come good, I quite often here the old 'yeah so you should be with all your draft picks' yet let's look at the 22 we had on the weekend.

     

    B: Hibberd (pick 30*) McDonald (pick 53) Jetta  (pick 51)

    HB: Lewis (pick 48*) Frost (pick 23*) Bugg  (pick 43*)

    C: Melksham (pick 31*) Oliver (pick 4) Salem (pick 9)

    HF: Stretch (pick 42) Pedersen (pick 63*) Petracca  (pick 2)

    F: Hannan (pick 46) McDonald (pick 53) Garrett (pick 61*)

    Followers: Viney (pick 26) Gawn (pick 34) Vince (pick 23*)

    Bench :  Tyson (pick 2*) Harmes (rookie pick 2) Neale-Bullen (pick 40) Hunt (pick 57)

    Note * is what we gave up in trade and not their original pick number.

    I count that as only 4 first rounders that played on the weekend. Make no mistake we are being coached and developed properly to go with some excellent trading. 

     

     

    Very interesting. Excellent post. I will use that on my Pies and Blues doubting mates. We should shout it from the rooftops...

    Ollie Wines is the only one who should be in the current side that isn't, because of incompetance. But it  completely blows the "Whiteboard Wednesday" theories to shreds!!?

    Spot on ,  but I still torture myself with the thought that at least a Preliminary Final appearance would look certain  with the " Man-Boy" alongside his once best mate .

    So many "ifs"

    IF Ollie had come instead of JT then we may well have done a little better that year and not had the picks we have had, and used so well, in the following years.

    IF IF IF.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
