not to get ahead of ourselves, but here's an early '22 look. particular interest in the height of ed's first round prospects, great for us with all our talls around the 29-31 bracket

Would imagine that weโ€™ll try and grab Brisbaneโ€™s pick, Ashcroft will go high and theyโ€™ll be looking to bank lower picks.

Agree, the F/S at the pointy end of the draft always add a bit of interest as clubs want to trade back.

No doubt clubs will be sniffing around some of our players at the end of next season.


Sonsie and Lohmann would be terrific additions. Really excited by Howes & Lohmann in that medium forward group.ย  Starting to take a shine to Fejo jr, keen for us to have a look in the 40's. A few keen Crow fans believe that the Crows love Rachele and may pounce on him higher up.

Another who was around the 15 to 20 mark coming into '21, but slides because of injury (taken at 35 above) is Cooper Murley. A bit of Zorko about him:

Looking at club lists yesterday and I think we are the club with the least ruck options after our main 2. We donโ€™t have another player over 198 except BB, who is a forward, not a ruckman.

Daw our back up, is 195 and will be 31. I am still surprised they let Bradtke go this year.

Most clubs have 4-5 200cm players who can ruck.

Also we were the worst disposal efficiency club in the AFL this year.

That is an interesting stat for the Premier, as normally you would think the Premier club has pretty clean ball use.

Didn't seem to be any problem of our disposal Redleg when we launched our great 7 goals in 17 mins NOR the 9 goal last quarter crowning glory our best for the season!!!

Snd I saw it live !!! Best Footy by the Mighty Demons ย in the 62 years I have been attending matches.

As Daisy (or someone else) said on the commentary "Melbourne are playing that good they can make and clean up their mistakes in the one piece of play".

Perhaps Redleg it's a case where the theory does not match the practice.

Kangas May one day be looking for a positive stats man Please consider joining them and giving yourself a real challenge!!!

Richmond had the same stat in their premiership years, I believe (and stand to be corrected)?

Gee, he reminds me of Harley Bennell, but looks like he plays more back behind the ball.

People are complaining about the rule change that prevents clubs from matching bids for their NGA players. If that wasnโ€™t the case, Melbourne would have to expend almost all of its draft points to match the Suns at 5. It simply wouldnโ€™t happen. Happy to take Sonsie who is a class above and is ready to play from day 1.

A trivial observation:ย  'Josh(ua)' a popular name 18 years ago, especially in Victoria...๐Ÿค”

Apart from Mac, Pascoeโ€™s phantom has none of our nGA/Fs choices going in these rounds. ย So we pick them up as Rookies (if at all). ย How do we assess Moniz-Wakefield and Woey Jnr?

Maybe not the best place for him to start his AFL career. But that might make it easier to convince him to come to the Dees in 2 years time.ย

I had it explained that slow play chip kick sides like the Cats, will have higher disposal efficiency , while our style of play leads to less disposal efficiency. What that means is that certain stats donโ€™t affect winning as much as other ones.

Agree. IF we want him and he goes to another club, the hope is that it is an interstate one.

GCS recruiting Mac Andrew would be an incredibly risk move; they need someone who can make a more rapid on-field impact.ย

Well at least we can easily get him back in 2 years time.......

So how many players are we at 95% confidence they go before our pick:

1-2: JHF, Daicos
3-4: Darcy, Callaghan
5-10: Hobbs, Rachele, Andrew
<15: Ward, Gibcus, Erasmus

Thatโ€™s 10. Goater, Amiss, Wanganeen-Milera, Draper? Anyone whoโ€™s a lock to go before what will eventually become 19?

Starts to get variable after 10 and heavily dependant on individual club views. Iโ€™m reasonably convinced that Wanganeen-Milera doesnโ€™t get past pick 13 now (after being viewed as a 25+ range kid around 6 weeks ago). Beyond that, such a wide net from 10-30. Would love for Sinn to slide to us at 19, but a heap of good options.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
