The PSD starts at 5.00pm today and should be over before it's over.

The Rookie Draft will follow soon thereafter with the interest from us coming from whether we select Casey Demon Jay Lockhart.

The order of both drafts is in reverse order to where teams finished, so we're at #15 in the Rookie Draft. If we decided to stick with a 39 man primary list we could either take one or two rookies or wait out to take another player in the pre-season supplemental selection period.

The current MFC lists:-

Primary List

1. Oskar Baker
2. Toby Bedford
3. Angus Brayshaw

     Stack and Tom Mckenzie both undrafted after both were thought to be certainties to be drafted. Stack had attitude issues but can play. No idea why Mcknezie wasn't drafted. Perhaps we will rookie one? I thought I read we were keen on Mckenzie at some point...

    Kade Chandler to the Dees.

    Kade Chandler. Small forward.  Quite lively but nothing to remember when I saw SA Under 18s. 

    Goodwin has brought in the Croweaters this year. Sparrow. Nietschke. Chandler.

    Agree. Haydn McLean might have been a good one at the rookie spot.

    Kade was all action in the highlights of about 1 minute!

    4 Really tough tackles, some fantastic others might have been a free the other way, one duck and no free kick around neck, and pushes an opponent in the back to get possession, then nearly out of bounds and kicks a freakish goal.

    All action which is promising!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
