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.

    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 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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
