Did others hear Tim Lamb say in today's presser that we also had a late pick in this year's draft? It was difficult to hear the question that drew that response. The AFL website shows us with only 5 and 9. If so, and we want Yze, the late pick could be used on him or another Jason Taylor late draft gem?

Yes and they’re confident about drafting ‘a terrific player too’.

So do we know what number it is? Maybe the boy from Traralgon - Tye Hourigan - oops, ssshhh.

tim lamb: i had three sausage rolls

he absolutely slaps 'scoops' manure down about clayton being 'desperate' to get out

Scoop Manure still trying to push his own agenda alleging Oliver was 'desperate to get out'. This guy is just so desperate to get something right for once, that he'll make up is own story to suit his own narrative. Pathetic. I loved how Lamby shut him down. 👌

We got Brisbane's future 3rd rounder, traded our future first to Essendon and future third to Adelaide

We have as many picks as we have spots on the list. eg we could have 88, 89, 90 if we had the list spots

 

Actually a good interview by Lamb.

So as it stands we have Smith, Tomlinson and Hore out of contract.

From a list point of view where that leave us for list spots if say Tomlinson and Smith were delisted??

Assume it means our 5th round pick that isn't listed. Right now it sits at 83 but there's likely a few teams will pass by then and Brisbane will chew up most if not all of 7 picks to get 2 players in.

Carlton, Ess and Gold Coast will all chew up more picks than players.

The 5th pick of round 5 last year was 64, this year is deeper but that pick might be around 70.

Alternatives:

1. Lamb's an [censored] and has forgotten a pick somewhere that we dealt out
2. We have a deal in place to tidy up trade week that's been kept in limbo for some reason (exchange of future 2nd rounders with Essendon for a pick in the 50's?)
3. They have a player they feel great about picking with whatever pick is available, so when he says 'we've got one late' he means a player

(KFW - Metha/Irish? Cat B)

BBB - Kentfield (r)
Schache - Campbell
ANB - Sharp
Gus - 5
Hunter - 9

Tomlinson - Late pick?
J Smith - Rookie pick/SSP?
Hore - retained/SSP?

3 spots that aren't accounted for which is just about right. Would love another quality pick but if we have to pick at the back of the draft so be it, the rookies/train on guys to fill it out. I think Marty might be in limbo for a while yet.

Wasn't someone in here potting him for not getting us a gun key forward? Cos they grow on trees and other clubs will trade them for pick 135.

Something not adding up for me… didn’t Lamb say we had a late pick this draft?

I think our focus will be our NGA prospects Riak Andrew and Mentha, Yze likely to go undrafted

Andrew might be the one we take with our late pick if he gets a bid.

You'd probably take the punt on the larger body in andrew over the smaller Mentha, but I hope we make room for both, they both have great stories and lots of talent.

I'm pretty sure I read that we'll potentially place Mentha on our Cat B list.

A much better interview by Tim Lamb. Was strong in his response to predictable questions from McClure. Liked how McClure became defensive when Lamb pushed back on his 'desperate to get out' comment.

Agree.  Lamb didn’t just accept the statement.  Really pushed back and was strong in his remarks.  Lamb was really positive in his comments on the list and our ability to rebound next year.  Obviously need to put actions behind words however it was a good response from Lamb.  

Loved the body language, too; part angry, part ridiculing, part dismissive, part ignore.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
