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. 

Yeah my selection is probably more hope than reality. Get the feeling we'll only get one out of Weightman and Pickett.

Lets hope Jackson isnt a bust.... to do the deals we have done for this year and next, wont want to stuff it up.

Pick 3 wasn't involved in any deal.

Might as well play along.

Jackson 

Pickett

Hugo Ralphsmith, for the name alone.


1. Young

2. Pickett

Spoke to a contact last night and he gave me the below top 15. The ones in brackets are known amongst the industry as pretty much 100% going to happen. Not sure where the Green bid is going to come, but it appears to have dropped right down to around Carlton/Melbournes second pick for whatever reason. Absolute joke that GWS will get him so cheap!

GC - Rowell (confirmed)
GC - Anderson (confirmed)
Melb - Jackson (confirmed)
GWS - Ash
Syd - Flanders
Ade - McAsey
Freo - Young (confirmed)
Freo - Serong (confirmed)
Freo - Henry (match Carltons bid)
Carl - Stephens
Melb - Pickett
Haw - Kemp
Port - Berman
Dogs - Weightman

I've been told Carlton will 100% take Stephens if Freo don't. and the curve ball would be if the Crows picked him.

Not doubting your info, but by my info there's no chance Green goes outside the top 5-6 picks.

Yeah I was told Carlton likely bid on Henry, have it matched, then take Stephens.

I hope your mail is right! Mine was unsure and said it was now sounding later than originally expected. Sydney still a chance to bid, but seemed to have cooled/kept cards closer to chest. 

So GWS get to a GF and get another couple of guns to add to their list. Reckon they’ll win a couple of flags in the next few years

I don't follow the draft because I don't feel I have any knowledge of the draftees, so my apologies for asking -  but what process leads to a grand finalist getting pick 4?

Trading and given ongoing benefits from the AFL. The AFL looking after their franchise at the detriment of struggling established clubs.

What a glorious and completely fair competition it currently is ?

Anybody know when live trading kicks in? Is it as soon as first pick is made or does it start an hour or 2 before?

They will if they play an interstate side at the G.

How do we not take Deven Robertson or Brodie Kemp if the picks before play out like that?

Because for whatever reason we rate Pickett higher than those two, despite exposed form showing otherwise.

Sydney's not bidding on Green.

That's damn impressive.  Right on almost all counts up to our second pick, including the bids on Henry and Green.

Yeah my source was pretty bang on.

Much to my dismay I knew about Jackson and Pickett about a week ago. I’ll see if I can find out anything about our early pick tonight.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
