Every team that has drafted a Rioli has won the #AFLGFAFLFinals_2018.png within 3 years. 1990: Hawks draft Willie Sr. Win ‘91 flag. 1998: Dons (rookie) draft Dean. Win ‘00 flag. 2007: Hawks draft Cyril. Win ‘08 flag. 2015: Tigers draft Daniel. Win ‘17 flag. 2016: Eagles draft Willie. ‘18 flag?

    Any Riolis available ?  

    Seriously Toby Bedford is the electrifying small indigenous forward on my list for MFC.  He has pace skill and tackling pressure.  Get the kid

    ...been saying this for a while, serious x-factor but has been passed over for Higgins.

    Worth a look.

    He's too introverted.

    Massive case of correlation not equaling cause Imo.

    And every one of us has been lamenting taking Toumpas (a running outside mid) over Wines (the slow competitive type we are stacked with) for years.

    We can’t have it every way.

    Ok, well let’s not recruit any fast, skilful players because one we did Pick was a spud. 

    Let’s go and find more Tysons & Maynards because we mustn’t have enough of those slow, unskilful types.

    I would back the MFC to be the exception to this rule should we ever draft a rioli. That damned Norm Smith curse.

    We need a couple badly.   You won't find too many Premiership winning teams, or even runners up, that didn't have some indigenous magic on the park.

    It will be the icing on our team of big contested ball winning brutes.

    I want another Aaron Davey, a Jeff Farmer and their sons.

    I believe we once went to the draft intending to pick up a Rioli, but the dyslexic recruiter read out Rigoni instead.*

    * no disrespect to Riggers, one of my favourites!

    That is not what I said. Drafting is a complicated art.

    We need fast skilful players but they have to meet other critearia and be obtained at a fair selection / price

    Jeffy is still on our list, whether or not the magic has gone from him remains to be seen. But I do agree that I would like to see us look at recruiting a skilful fast indigenous player, there’s no doubt they seem to have some kind of magic that’s impossible to describe. 

    I’d love an Aaron Davey v2!

    I’d love to see a Garlett resurrection but feel like we might be up the creek on that.

    Wonder if hes available?

    Gold Coast still have so much talent.  Can you blame their kids for not flourishing up there?

    If we could get Martin and Koladlaldashnij it would be huge.

    Looking at the state leagues top goal kickers.

    Shane McAdam - my mail is Carlton pick and trade him back to the Crows

    Tyson Strengle - out of contract Tiger rumoured to go to the Crows

    Anyone in the West know anything about Cody Ninyette or Michael Bennell?

    When is Farmer's son eligible for the draft?

    If you have a chance to get Jack Martin you must take it, worth the risk.

    Lots of speculation linking him to Essendon, but can't imagine GC would let him go cheaply. Another coming out of contract in 2019.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
