Good call. He is better than most of the Top picks imo in the thin-highly compromised draft next year. That’s why I like the swap with Kangas

I'm convinced this has been our plan the whole time and that we will take Kemp at 8. We traded next years first for him but he wont play in 2020. He will be effectively our first pick in the 2020 draft. Really good trading IMO, we get a top 5 talent next year regardless of our finishing place in 2020.

That’s if he is there at 8 and if he is the one we want.

My theory is that the only reason with bought pick 8 was for Kemp.  Id say we know he will be there at 8.

If you are referring to me I would ask that as adults we be civil towards each other.

I was a 40 year Demon member and have now moved to the USA with my American wife so I would respectfully ask that you do not make any snide remarks.

We are all here for one reason and that is to discuss the MFC and what it means to each of us.

Thankyou and I trust you appreciate my polite response. Like you I do not appreciate snide remarks.

You'd reckon they'd attempt to trade in pick 12 (one pick before the dogs) as opposed to throwing the extra picks in to secure 8 from Norf if Weightman is the target. But what do I know!!

Some talk Carlton want a small forward as well, seeing as they missed Papley. Are also apparently in the frame for Jackson (ruck) and Kemp, as are we

Not to digress too much further, but I always thought Stuie and Rangey were one and the same? FWIW, I never minded either of them.

Kemp wont make it to pick 8

If GWS are forced to match a bid for Green, it only leaves Adelaide, Sydney and Fremantle to bid on Kemp. Adelaide might prefer one of the SA boys and Freo might look at Ash or Stevens after losing Langdon and Hill. Sydney might look at Sarong if the Crows don’t take him with the plan to replace Papley next year?

You could be right but I concur with the idea that it's quite possible Kemp won't be there at our next pick. I'd prefer Kemp over Young, but it'll be interesting to see what we do with pick 3.

And we have another month to keep guessing. ?

I don’t know enough about the kids to pick, only what I’ve read, but I do like the idea of having an elite kick coming out of the back half to set up attacks though. I actually think Kemp will slip through to our pick 8, just don’t know if we’ll pick him. ??‍♂?

We can only hope. Makes it more likely Stephens will be left on the board.

I may be in the minority but I kinda hope we take Stephens over Kemp (as unlikely it is we'd get the choice between the two at pick 8 )I'm surprised he's not getting more love, he seems like a perfect fit

3-Green. Giants (nomination by Dees)

4- Young. Dees 

5- Stephens. Crows 
6- Ash.  Freo 

7- Serong. Swans

8- Kemp.  Dees 

that’s a great double for the Dees

Crows could be interested in Serong as an Eddie replacement? 

I don’t know if Swans would pass Kemp, I get the logic of choosing Serong to replace Papley if he plans leave though.

I don't think Flanders would slide outside of the top 8.

There's talk of freo picking Jackson with 7 to get him ahead of Carlton at 9

Agree, Freo will take one of Robertson/Jackson at 7 and will be praying to land the other at 10.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
