IF we wind up with pick 5, who would we be targeting? Who are the best midfielders with good pace, agility and disposal? Rankine looks the pick of the bunch, but won't last until 5 and will likely head home to SA if drafted by a non-SA club.

As of today, we have about 5 picks. 

That is 36,46,54,62,65. 

No need to worry about top 20 draft potentials

This is my mock draft for Melbourne

36 - McKenzie

46 - Stack

54 - Ayton-Delaney

62 - Munn

65 - Bedford

ROOKIE - Hind

What do you think of Munn Normy? I think we need a developing tall forward considering where Hogan is at.

Edited by WERRIDEE

That draft would be ideal. Very good choices IMO.

Mckenzie, Stack, Ayton-Delaney and Bedford all have pace. Real pace. Our outside run “development” would be addressed. 

Munn is a very good young forward and needs 2-3,years more development.  At pick 62, definitely we would have to seriously consider. 

I like either Lockhart, Bewley, Hore or Hind as potential rookies. Hind again is the pace and break the line style of player.  At 23, he could be in the selection mix early. I think we wouldn’t be disappointed with Hind as a rookie.

You did mention Jack Bytel’s injury history which has affected his draft credentials. His problem that he has a lingering back injury and has hardly played this season. You would need a good medical report to take him in the draft.

Jack Bytel

We now have picks 23, 28, 54, 62 and 91

PICK 23 - Sturt

PICK 28 - Duursma

PICK 54 - Bedford

PICK 62 - Munn

PICK 91 - Hind

ROOKIE - C.Wagner

other than corey wagner, what sort of players are all these dudes @WERRIDEE?

how many will make an impression in 2019?

Norm Smith knows more than me hopefully he can give you a run down.

Which of the identical King twins is better looking?

If they get drafted to the same club, one of them will need to shave their head or grow a beard.

Indeed. Commentators can't even tell Jetta and Garlett apart, let alone Demons half-back Christian Salem and the downhill Winter Olympic sporting event slalom.

* 30. KIERAN BRIGGS Ruckman/key forward, 200cm, 98kg, NSW-ACT/GWS Giants Academy

7 father sons or academy zone selections here in top 30. 

I still think Ely Smith and Tom McKenzie are top 30. Jordan Clark, Sydney Stack, Riley Bowman, Jez Mclennan, Sam Sturt and Jarrod Cameron also unlucky to miss this list. 

Thats top 38. 

all the recruiters will know that jason taylor would love ely smith and ned mchenry. they are exactly the type of player that he loves. 


We’re back to our potential 23 and 28.  In order of my preferences

Ely Smith

Bailey Williams

Sam Sturt

Xavier OHalloran 

Chayce Jones

Xavier Duursma 

Tom McKenzie 

Sydney Stack

I think these are the likely available and best options.  Though might get a Zak Butters and Liam Stocker who could drop.  Unlikely but you never know.

The other one.

Rylee West looks a cracker. Can we bid for him even though we don't have a 1st routine pick?


Toby Bedford at 31 on that list. Handy number.

There’s been plenty of talk about the top 25 prospects but what about 26-50? Here’s Matt Balmer’s latest -  

26-50 Power Rankings 

If we somehow snag Xavier O' Halloran at our first couple of picks it'll be a massive steal! Classy inside and outside mid who'll compliment our growing midfield stocks.

Captained Vic Metro.

I agree. I like O'Halloran a lot. He is a great long kick of the ball too. He can kick it 60m pretty comfortably. Only question mark is his speed I guess and he doesn't have the quickest hands.

The more you read from this guy, the more you realise he has no idea. An absolute fluke getting what the hawks did with this guy in charge.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
