We were a much better side late in the season when Frost came back in.

    Best backline in the comp? Must be close to it at the very least ...

    Tigers and West Coast are by far the best 2 off the top of my head in my opinion.

    Preuss to the bench. Gawn starts ruck.

    Great crystal ball imo for draft.   Real depth added.

    Adds to the pace and height in some positions we need but also grabbing super talented kids.

    Perhaps Fraser Turner instead of McKenzie at #28 but Mckenzie would be very good pickup nonetheless.

    Have been re-watching some of our games again lately and the rundown tackles, big marks, spoils and run out of defense Frosty gave us were awsome.  He really provided some drive at a time Oscar was fading a bit.  

    With some of the dash and precision forward passing that Frosty executed late season, not only Oscar, but Hunt should also be worried about their spots in the side.

    Great to have such depth and options back there.

    Below is what Melbourne’s best 22 looks like pre-draft:

    FB: Neville Jetta, Steven May, Jake Lever
    HB: Christian Salem, Oscar McDonald, Michael Hibberd
    C : Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver, James Harmes
    HF: Christian Petracca, Sam Weideman, Bayley Fritsch
    FF: Jake Melksham, Tom McDonald, Mitch Hannan
    Fol: Max Gawn, Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney
    Int: Jordan Lewis, Charlie Spargo, Alex Neal-Bullen, Kade Kolodjashnij

    Draft picks: 23, 28, 54, 62, 91

    Who could they target?

    Bailey Williams is an athletic forward who would no doubt be on Melbourne’s radar.

    The 198cm Dandenong Stingrays big man is capable of assisting in the ruck but is better viewed as a long-term key forward prospect who could be taken at 23 or 28.

    With pace and agility around the flanks a need, the Demons could look at a player in the mould of Sam Sturt.

    William’s Stingrays teammate is a half-forward who tested high in the running vertical jump as well as sprint and agility tests at the Draft Combine and could be developed over the next few years, provided he is still available at 23.

    The Demons are expected to bid for NextGen academy prospect Toby Bedford (another Stingray) with his pace, forward pressure and tackling ability his standout qualities.

    Medium-sized forward Curtis Taylor, from the Calder Cannons, may also be in the sights of the Dees with his overhead marking ability, doubled with his capacity to move into the midfield, both attractive attributes.

    Alternatively, Tasmanian outside runner Fraser Turner could also be an option for the Demons.

    At least this mob have Fritsch in, but I recon Vanders is definitely best 22 material, probably ahead of Hannan and/or Kolodjashnij on form at this point.  Love the bash and crash that Vanders brings and I don't think we could have too much of that (just think of those powerful Lions sides in the early 2000s).

    You'd certainly like to think that Kolodjashnij, Hunt or Frost would have Lewis's spot by the end of the season though.  Not a slight on Lewis as I thought he was very good last year, but you'd hope any of those young guys could drive themselves to force Lewis out of the side through hard work, their respective athletic ability and maturing as footballers.  There is also a sense that Lewis would have failed his role as a mentor if we can't stand on our own without the experience he brings.

    Will be a fascinating season for the MFC.  Just hope we don't get any crippling injuries.  A few years like Richmond had injury wise would be great.

    The forgotten man is Garlett.

    A fit and in form Garlett is easily best 22.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
