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 thought the 2 rookie spots were for bennel and mitch brown, or have i got my maths wrong

    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 3 - Green

    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).

    • 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?
