    I like it, we need the run but equally we need the experience and on field leadership. they can have their future second rounder back for him.

    or pick 8 for Smith and 11

    So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

    Ah yes. The basket case is pulling aces again. Thanks potato.

    So assuming we take Hayden Young and cody Weightman in the draft, our best 22 for Round 1 could look something like this:

    B:       Jetta               May                  Lever

    HB:    Young             Petty                Hibberd

    C :      Langdon         Viney               Salem

    HF:     Petracca        McDonald       Melksham

    F:       Fritsch             Weideman      Weightman

    R:      Gawn               Oliver               Brayshaw

    Int:    Tomlinson       Harmes          Hannan        VandenBerg

    Emg:  Preuss            O McDonald       Neal-Bullen       Hunt

    How the hell do we land him? Is he an FA or do we need to pull a pick out of our [censored]?

    Would love him for the record. @Patches O’houlihan is spot on. Not only does he still have something to give a team like us, his experience and leadership would be invaluable for our team that so desperately lacks it.

    Maybe 8 for Smith and 11?  That also takes the risk of McGuinnes being bid on early for the Hawks

    And Frosty could be the steak knives!  Joking...

    Very surprised the Giants couldn't get a deal done for pick 3. I find it hard to see them satisfying us with the picks they have, so not sure what the point of trading up to 6 was about.

    Disappointed we didn't pick up a key forward, but I'd be interested to see what list spots we will have available post the draft, perhaps there's a delisted free agent or rookie we are looking at.

    So much for Dorodo's big man talk that Essendon would 'hit the trade period hard'.  He likes to win the battles but ends up losing the war.  They gained Tom Cutler and Andrew Phillips and their first draft pick is #31. 

    Carlton have also come away empty handed (well they have favourite son Eddie back).

    Big trade fail for both clubs.

    Hard to see either team improving much next year. :blink:

    just pointing out we didn’t use it and we have two in top 8.

    Agree that we've done well, happy we held our nerve and didn't swap #3 with GWS.

    Sun's could easily just delist Martin and Carlton take him as a delisted free agent.

  • Quote

    So we head to the draft with picks 3, 8 and 97.

    Think we'll keep 3 unless GWS come to us with an offer we can't refuse on draft night. With 3 I think Young has more upside, could play wing/hbf next year.

    Using 8 on Weightman seems a big reach when most phantoms have him in the 15 - 30 range and one of Ash, Stephens, Kemp or Flanders will likely still be available.

    Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? 

    Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
