As for "not being a great night" ? No-one will know for a number of years how good it was or wasn't.

When I heard we were after pick 28 I was pretty excited. Happy to see we've managed to get the deal done.

Disappointed we didn't get 27 but I heard it might have failed the medical.

For mine we need another winger/outside runner, tall forward and small forward/lock-in player. 

Moving up the list to hopefully get what the FD have targeted.

7 spots to fill as it stands. Sounds like one, two or three of Maynard, T Smith or Keilty will be upgraded.

That makes the most sense.  We may go for someone in the pre-season draft, sign a delisted free agent etc as well.

I like the deal, though - we now have two picks in the 20s, and trading up to 28 to go with 23 suggests that we have a few players in mind that we felt wouldn't make it through to our later picks.  Or, we are looking to trade further up the draft into the teens, although I don't see that as a highly likely outcome.

How long can a rookie remain on the rookie list before you have to make a call?

I think Maynard will be upgraded, but not the other two, provided they are ok to stay on the rookie list for another year.

Thought pick 23 could have been used on Billings before we traded with St Kilda for p28.

Does anyone think we’re going to do anything else this year? 

Doesn't sound like it. Mahoney said we were looking to fill out three list needs and upgrade our draft hand. Think that's all she wrote

Surely, they wouldn't give up Billings for a pick 28.

And Gresham is the guy that I'd be targeting (even less likely, I know). He would compliment our forwardline perfectly. Alongside Petracca, Spargo, TMac, Weid and a resting ruck, that's a scary forwardline.

It'd be cheeky, but I wouldn't mind us offering up both picks in the twenties for Gresham.

Fills that small forward need and can also roll through the midfield, maybe on a wing.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
