We’re going a bit early on this because of the interest surrounding Melbourne’s trade of its 2020 future # 1 draft pick last year. Here’s the table created by bigfooty poster Lore based on the current ladder:-

Adelaide 1 6 20 29 41 53 67
Brisbane Lions 18 19 40 61    
Carlton 8 27 45    
Collingwood 17 34 39 68    
Essendon 9 49 64 66 69    
Fremantle 4 26    
Geelong 11 12 15 33    
Gold Coast Suns 13 31 36 72    
GWS Giants 25 43 71
Hawthorn 5 21 42 46 60 65    
Melbourne 24 44 59 63
North Melbourne 2 7 28 57 62    
Port Adelaide 23 35 37 50 55    
Richmond 16 32 52 70    
St Kilda 14 58 73    
Sydney    3 22 54 56    
West Coast Eagles 30 48 51    
Western Bulldogs 10 38 47

 

Freo may move back based on being in points debt from last year. They may go from 4 to 6, for example.  Won’t worry us unless we trade back in (which I doubt).

Hard to know how it plays out if lists are savaged, do we still have to take 3?

Which club's second round pick do we own?

Hawks. Part of Frost trade.

Third round is our own I think.

Fourth round is tied to Freo.

I might have that all wrong.

That Haw 2nd round pick is looking better and better each week.

Frost for pick 21 every day of the week. Great job JM

Wow that would be a great outcome.

We traded him in for pick 23, so we've come out alright!

 

 

 

Not sure if he'll still be there for our first pick, but hope Jason Taylor and the team are considering young Logan McDonald from the Perth Demons. He's been turning heads over here in the west. Looks a great prospect. I watched him on Saturday against the Falcons and he didn't have the best game but still kicked two and showed some glimpses of brilliance. His aerial ability is fantastic, judges his leap and plucks the ball from on high.

He’s probably in top 5 calculations now, McDonald’s had a terrific season for Perth so far.


Hopefully a club like North Melbourne with early picks make a few clubs use up their early picks by bidding on F/S and Academy players.  This is where the NGA are so unfair, the Bulldogs have a kid that is rumoured to be top pick, the bulldogs have pick 8, this enabled them to go hard on a trade with pick 8, trade pick 8 for a future first round pick, there is not a chance that the Bulldogs will take pick 8 in this years draft, as long as they can have enough points to cover the pick in late second rounders and third round picks.

I'm not all over the F/S and Academy players but all we here is the top end of this draft is full of them.

On the flip side it might give us a chance if we want to get a pick in the top 10, lets say Future first round pick and pick 23 for Bulldogs pick 8 and future second round pick

 

I think the academy and NGA systems are an absolute crock, and has gone some way to stuffing up the drafts supposed equity.

I also think that the F/S discount should not apply either. Having first dibs should be the only advantage a team gets when drafting.

Northern clubs may have a sook, but let's remember they chose to establish themselves as AFL clubs in their respective locations, knowing full well both the pros and cons of doing so. If they don't like it, they shouldn't have formed themselves in such a vicinity.

Don't the Sun's get middle 1st round  (11) and start 2nd round (19) PPs? Or have i got that wrong?

As a side note, I see the AFL are planning to phase out academy zone selections in 1st and 2nd rounds. Meaning that academy players are open slather during those rounds. Not this year though.

Draft shake up

Edit. I just saw GCS traded 2020 first round PP to WCE for 2019 pick 27 (Jeremy Sharp)

NGA priority access changed, I wonder if this will also include the Northern state academies.

Do we have any NGA kids from this year draft?

Deakyn Smith. But he’s a late draft pick option like Bedford. Hard to gauge him given no matches in 2020.

Being the lack of visibility of development this year surely its a great time to have concentrated picks in the 25-60 range where you may chance late developing kids who could not show their wares this year. Even some players don’t really show out as much until the champs when the quality rises around them or they are forced to play a different role than at club level. Think of how many bolters  there have been due to the championship or post champs that have shot in from 25-40 or further range to be top 10 or top 25.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    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?
