Inside the Draft

It was interesting seeing us trying to move up the order -  Richmond basically laughed at us when we suggested a future 4th and swap of seconds or something to get up to 21 from 30.  I guess it's easy to say that we should have had a 2nd rounder or two up our sleeve but you can never be sure what's going to happen, and you have to give those second rounders to get something - we had to give ours up this year to get Langdon. 

They clearly rate Robertson, will be interesting to see how he goes at the Lions.

    The targeting of Georgiades and the Mitch Brown signing makes me think the club has little to no faith in Weidman making the grade.

    And thats not even mentioning LJ whos likely to start as a forward too.

    Because it wouldn't be anything to do with the departure of Pedersen, Hogan and T.Smith over the last couple of years and the injury worries for TMac... But yeah, they probs re-contracted Weid due to that lack of faith.

    It's a great insight and I think the Rivers selection is just what we needed to round out this draft/trade period.

    He will come back to bite a few recruiting managers on the a.... in the near future.

    As Taylor said at the end he is an MCG player.

    seems like they got everyone they were after. I know they showed some interest in Robertson and Georgiades, but it looks like they never fully expected those guys to get through to our 3rd pick anyway, with them showing surprise at Robertson still being available for the 2nd round, and with Taylor commenting that he didn't expect Georgiades to get past 24 either.

    Agree.

    And it is exactly the sort of interesting, diverse content the club should be producing. Not expensive either.

    And versatility.  Sounds like he could be a goer.

    I wonder who offered the 2020 1st round picks to Richmond? One can only speculate.

    Amazing that after all that, they took Thomson Dow. Highly rated for them I guess.

    I'd love Jason Taylor to be picking my Tattslotto numbers because he knows who is going where before it is called......

    Isn't it their job to know who's interested in which players? Every club knew exactly who we were taking with 3 and 10, and everyone knew about our interest in Rivers.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
