    Fox is reporting that Sydney have traded pick 26 to WCE for a 2019 3rd round selection (around pick #60). 

    I assume it has been incorrectly reported as it is such a lopsided trade - there has to be more to it!

    Edit:  WCE now have picks 20, 22, 26.

    Academy selections are a joke

    that is plain ridiculous.... you wonder why the bidding club bothers if its only peanuts...

    Are they trying to free up the selections around the 40 mark? Otherwise it makes little sense to me.

    Bugger. With Swans trading back into the 2nd round, I can just imagine them pinching the player we want.

    So over an hour has gone by and only 12 picks have gone through? Jeez this is beyond a joke.

    The AFL have turned this into a farce. Another feather in Dill's cap!

    That trade of Syd 2019 2nd round pick (around 30+) for WCe pick 24 explains the earlier lop-sided trade that greatly favoured WCE. 

    We still have pick 23, one ahead of Sydney so may get our preferred player. 

     

    Very clever of Sydney to do this after Blakey was selected otherwise they would have had to use pick 24 for him!!  They are very active and creative with pick trading - they may catch a few clubs napping!!

    Edit: cross out ref to Syd pick

    Even the first pick took around 4 minutes...have the clubs been told to drag it out ? Surely you know your pick if you are number 1

    They never learn.   I thought Demetriou was bad, but then McLachlan came along.

    That Bailey Williams ruck tap in the Sam Sturt highlights. Do want.

    The Herald Sun says yes. Told to take the full 5 minutes, so the first round takes as long as possible for the TV coverage

    I just turned the draft broadcast on ...and off. FMD that is possibly the most boring and laborious shite I've seen on television.

    I' m going back to angle grinding the  tinea off my toes.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
