I personally am not worried about who we take in the draft. The FD would have done their homework and they will choose accordingly. Players may be taken for the now and to fill gaps or with mind on the future. 

With the evenness of this draft it would appear picks 1- 20 are pretty much equal depending on which club wants what. We currently have pick 3,10 and 28, which is an amazing position to be in with such an even draft. We brought in Langdon, Tomilson and may just get Bennell as he re creates his career. Mitch Brown is also an astute pick up if we decide to take him. On top of that Sparrow ,Chandler and Bedford look like their 2nd year in the system will be positive. May, Lever, Weed, Preuss , Viney etc all look to be in good nick and Goodwin and team have learnt some valuable lessons from last year. We also have a new medical team, one that has some pretty credentialed personal. Chuck in an easier draw due to last years disaster, and no Darwin game, I am pretty happy.

The Draft is just that. Pick a few players and hope for the best. There have been many top 10 picks that have had amazing careers and others that do not. I have faith in the FD and who ever we pick will be at the same spot as the guy that goes 1 or 80th . 

Personally Jackson, Young, Green and Kemp would all be fine. At least we have the opportunity to decide!

    Funny what happens when there is no Ross Lyon about to make it dour.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
