    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!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
