seems to be a lot of people putting Jackson at 3 but I don't think it will happen.

I can see us calling Green at 3 and I think that GWS will not match it. Overall it will just be too costly for them. If we do not call Green then I would think that there might be a juicy agreement in place between GWS and MFC for the next trade period. If not green thaen I think it will be Young.

At 10 I think we will look at taking Kemp if he is still there.

28 is a lottery but it would not surprise if it was a left field special. Not left field but I would take Taylor if he is still there.

    100% we will call Green's name at pick 3. Will then depend on GWS, but it's 50/50 as they are also keen on Jackson. You won't hear us calling out Young's name though, unless he slides as far as 28, but not likely.

    I believe this may have been the case a week ago as Green was a chance but not anymore from what I’ve heard

    I'm happy either way tbh. I was told the Dees rated Green as the best player in the draft, but could see the logic in going for something other than an inside mid.

    28 - Flynn Perez

    I think we add either a 4th pick, a rookie pick or another train on player. A pacy small or a key defender depending on how the draft goes. State leagues or even a Sam Murray. I just don't see the need to hold list spots for  both Bennell and Mitch Brown.

    Sokol from WA would be handy forward to add to Jackson Kozzie and Bennell snd perhaps Brown.

    Sokol more of an option if we trade our future 4th for a current 4th and grab him in the 60’s than with 28. 

    We need a high quality kid with that earlier pick. Possibly a key defender but ideally a classy quick runner.

    Jackson

    Pickett (think it's too early but hard to ignore the smoke)

    Sharp (I think he will go earlier but will fit our outside run well if still on the board)

     

    My ideal scenario would be 

    Green

    Stephens

    Rivers (or best available small forward)

    After reading the article on AFL I would take Serong, Kemp, Dow. Maybe slot Green instead of Serong.

    take him at 2 in the rookie draft like snoop doggy dog suggested in his phantom long beach draft forecast..

    Yep that's another option, either way I significantly doubt he's a pick 28 chance.

    Twomey has us down for Elijah Taylor, Trent Rivers or Thomson Dow as the chances, hopefully one of those guys slip

    Do not care who we get and they do not necessarily have to be superstars, although it would be nice if they were. The only metric I am interested in is that each contributes to our next flag.

    I just don't see us needing to keep 2 spots open given there's significant doubts over keeping both players and that unfortunately list spots often open up prior to March. There's no hurry to give Bennell a spot that's for sure and Brown should only get one if we really think he's best 22.

    Pick swap with Geelong.

    Pick 14 - Weightman

    Pick 17 - Pickett

     

    I think the Doggies might take Weightman the pick before that unfortunately. if they do i reckon we're a chance to get Kemp with that pick. 

    otherwise i agree. 

    would be rapt with Green. looks a ready made player and a star of the future.

    Heard over the past how we don't leak, blah blah.

    If Jackson and Pickett  are the first two chosen someone in the football department has leaked! 

    My NTP criteria is recruit elite ball users that don't mind getting their hands dirty. Kind of points to Young, Ash or Stephens...

    In fairness dee-tox, it may be that other clubs have leaked following our open discussions. 

    In saying that, I have no idea why we would bother telling other clubs that we're looking at Pickett at 10. 

    Unless . . .  

    MFC: 'Hey, Freo, we'll swap you  8 for 10 & 28 if you don't intend on taking Young.'

    Freo: 'Sure. Robertson is our man. But what about Henry?'

    MFC: 'We won't bid on Henry and Western can have Weightman. We like Pickett.' 

    (People forget that Freo still have to pay for Henry. Massive points dif. between 8 and 16). 

    Media (MFC trades for 10. Likes Pickett . . .): 'MFC likes Pickett for pick 10'

    (I think I may be in denial about potentially missing out on Young after giving up 8).

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
