    Teeming hordes in red and blue pouring into Gosch's as I type. Cops concerned about riots, civil disobedience. Stock markets plummeted. Premier kept notified of developments.

    I may have read this wrong. Are they getting pick 1 and 2 or not. They said they weren't on trade radio.

    Yep, their priority pick is pick 2.

     They are getting a great ride here by the AFL

    Nope. Apparently they get pick 1 in this years draft, which bumps the pick they already have to 2. We are now at pick 3

    Incredible hand out considering some of the blame for their position should be on the Suns. Eg trading Lyons.

    Unbelievable really. They had a good hit at the super draft and now this. Top 2 seem clearly the best. Victorian players. Can you believe it?

    It’s odd they have split Rowell and Anderson - maybe we have made an agreement to give them pick 2 for King?

    Shocking, he initially didn't read out that pick 1 was a priority pick, this is crap.

    Move on now.

    Yeah very misleading that first tweet. They get picks 1 & 20 as compo picks, then their real pick is pick #2.

    Seemed way too good to be true

    Let's not sugar coat it.

    First and last picks in round 1 this year then a middle round 1 pick next year and another end of first round the following year

    They can call it round 2 all they want but it's essentially 4 first round picks

    It's three years of draft assistance includes:

    • Picks No.1 and No.2 at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently pick No.20) at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • Mid first-round pick (currently pick No.11) at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently Pick.19) at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft

    That is two priority picks this year.  One at the start and one at the end of round 1.  The public dialogue was about either the start or the end.  Staggering that they get both!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
