I hope one day the AFL realise the draft is only followed by footy tragics. There's never going to be a big audience. Maybe then they'll give up on these lame attempts to trick it up. The coverage was excruciating and compounded by the laughable technology that resulted in a whopping time lag between submitting pick selection and said pick appearing on the screen.

    I think we've got 39 senior list + 3 cat a rookies + 2 cat b rookies

    we're 2 short but we might leave 1 or both slots free for the pre-season pick-up and mid season draft

    Well, we've turned Hogan into May, Kolodjashnij, and Sparrow.

    Time will tell.

    Here are the highlights packages of all of our players in one.

     

     

    It's unbelievable. Based on those highlights there is no doubt all of our new players are guns.

    Taylor is a genius.

    Who needs first round draft picks!

    It seems we have a lot of similar types, mainly big bodied mids. Would have thought an extra tall like Bailey Williams would have had added a bit of variety.

    While I am not stupid enough to challenge JT, just on the look of him, I agree, I also would have liked to get Williams.

    you would have thought a tall would have been drafted.  We are very short on rucks and tall fwds.  perhaps we will rookie one?   I do agree however with not drafting talls with early picks as they are risky.

    also, they have a day break in the middle of the draft but dont give clubs time to re-group for the rookie draft?  strange.  I would have thought some time for discussion would be handy before the rookie draft

    Yeah we’ve only got two tall forwards on the whole list now. They must not have rated the options available as it’s a clear need, so we’ll have to back Taylor and co with their good record so far!

    Smith is 192cm. Not tall enough for AFL tall forward and has produced nothing of worth as a forward there. He’s played well up the ground on ball using his frame there, but at 28 years old and not getting taller he’s a medium tall or another position/delist material.

    • 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.
