Jackson, Robertson, Sharp

I hope Robertson will be there at pick 10. But this unlikely. I hope you are right. Fingers crossed 

 

Pick 3 Jackson.

Pick 10 Weightman

Pick 28 Cooper Stephens


3 Green

10 Weightman

28 Pickett

Pick swap with Geelong.

Pick 14 - Weightman

Pick 17 - Pickett

 

I basically agree with this prediction although think it will be Jackson at 3.

Do I get half a poiint if we bid on him but GWS take him?

Just have this feeling GWS will be rapt to get Jackson, and MFC rate Green VERY highly.

What’s with the small forward obsession when we already have 4 plus blokes under 180 cm on the list who potentially should fill the role?

Because we need actual talent

Who are  the 4 blokes? Any of them any good?   Doubt it, as we have the worst small forward stocks in the comp

Yes it’s all fun and our desire for the Dees to get some quality youngsters.  Yet the “trolls”’ on other posts love to shoot others down and denigrate.  
 

I’ve always been in the Hayden Young at 3 and Brodie Kemp at pick 8 camp. Young for elite ball use which would be a milestone at the Demons and Kemp because of superstar potential with strength and pace. 

I would like to see Tom Green called at 3 and make Giants match it.  It appears unlikely so Giants will end up with two top 5 players   

Obviously the popular view seems MFC picks as

Jackson at 3 , for a 10 year outlook as Gawn probably has the #1 ruck role for 5-6 more years       He didn’t play forward at the championships but JT says he can be a key forward , yet very raw footy skills. athleticism is his strength. 

Weightman at 10.  Lively forward pocket.  Good skills but I think they’d be better options available at this pick like Kemp or Ash or Serong. 


Pick 28 is a lottery to see who’s available.  Like to see either KOZZZY Pickett or ELIJJJJAH Taylor for their excitement. Small indigenous forwards are exciting. Like Jeremy Sharp as the running back or wingman or even a punt on Darcy Cassar.  Both Sharp and Cassar are classy runners with good pace and that much required skill.
 

Wait and see now.

Because none of them have proved their more than decent depth yet, because we've had a game plan that relied on frenzied delivery and key forwards 'bringing the ball to ground', and because we just delisted our most dangerous small forward who also lead our average goal kicking for 2019.

I’d be happy either way. Prefer if we nabbed Green though like you said.

Spargo - 2nd round pick - was a midfielder as a junior and his skillset - fitness, ball winner, get contest to contest, make smart decisions is that of a half forward flanker

Bedford - 4th round pick - flashes defensive and crumbing ability but is also a long way from AFL and more of a project

Chandler - rookie - junior midfielder with some forward craft but more of a 2nd best small. The Puopolo to a Rioli.

Lockhart - rookie - back flanker/mid/half forward flanker - ball winning and ball use across the flanks is more his go than dangerous inside 50 pressure and crumbing. Training with the defenders.

Not sure it should be pick 10 but we have to draft a specialist crumber and pressure player at some stage.


Assuming no live pick trades:

3 - Jackson

10 - Serong

28 - Taylor

3 Jackson

10 Dylan Stephens

28 Dylan Williams

 

 

 

Interesting option in Dylan Williams.  Great 2018 as a goalkicking half forward dominant as an underaged. Injury ruined 2019 but is very very good player if his body can get 100%.

Well then they should have been delisted, yes? But no we still believe they can contribute in some way while we intend to burn first rounder picks on small forward potential. 


3. Green/Jackson

11/12. (allowing for Green/Henry bid) Serong/Kemp

28. Sharp/Taylor/Rivers

3. Anderson.

10. Kemp.

28. Gould.

Pickett

(Weightman / Pickett almost interchangeable)

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
