Andrew Brayshaw testing very very well. His second half of the year was superb.  Top 10-12 pick. If only we could welcome him but I fear highly highly unlikely.

    Paul Connors on Trade Radio said this morning that Aiden Bonar was earmarked as an MFC Multicultural Academy player.  He has come in from pick #100 to around pick #20 and 'mfc wouldn't be too happy about that'.

    The sooner they change the Multicultural Academy draft bidding system to be the same as F/S and the Northern Academies, ie being able to match bids, the better.

    The AFL Draft Combine 2017 kicked off today. Some (but not all) of the best talent will be on display  over the coming week.

    A few of the names in this article will be wearing the red and the blue in 2018 ~

    Inside the 2017 AFL Draft combine

    Who will impress at the AFL Draft Combine?

    Have you seen much of Sebastian Williams WJ? Do you think he will get drafted ? Would love to have Don Williams grandson at the club.

    I haven't seen as much of him in action as I would have liked Neita but I did see a bit of him from time to time at Dragons training during the season (which is next door to where my grandsons' junior team trains). 

    Williams has been described as "a nice little player" which in terms of draftability is not necessarily a great recommendation. You have to really have some special talents to come into contention high up in the draft if you're 177cm. In Seb's case, he's got a few things going for him but if push comes to shove, I think most clubs would prefer players a bit taller with the same capabilities as on-ballers and there are a lot around in that category. It would be a romantic tale if he was drafted by the club but I think it would only be as a rookie.

    It certainly would, thanks very much for the reply WJ.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
