Busslinger is a very good player

    Hopefully we land a player at 17. We have the best young talent in the comp. It would be great to expand on that, and land that superstar at this pick. In a Covid year, I reckon it’s a great pick to have, in addition to our later picks. Club is so well positioned after 7-8 years of planning. Many of the lower rung sides are rightfully excited about having good early picks. But it’s one thing to have them, and another thing to get them right. Hopefully they don’t get them right, and we capitalize at 17.

    Is there a problem with him?

    He looks decent, just seems pretty slow.

    Matt Roberts reminds me of Dyson Heppell.  He’s a midfielder but also an all rounder type.  Certainly talented and wouldn’t be a poor choice.  I thought Power would be his new home given they need to restock their midfield.  Not sure he’s what MFC would pick but given he’s been top 10 quality, if he was a slider then JT would have to consider.  I think we may hope for a Goater, Sinn or Sonsie if they slide through.   I think all will be gone imv and would be looking at Chesser or Wilmot for outside run and pace across wing/half back.

    Horne-Francis is the most universally agreed Number 1 pick since Scully

    Not sure about that, I think every club would've taken Walsh and Rowell, where as Daicos is absolutely right there with JHF. If they were both available it would be a really tricky choice. JHF probably gets the edge due to exposed senior form and more x factor. Still, North better man up and bid pick 1 on Daicos.

    Yeah true

    was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment re Scully

    Read a bit about ruckman Josh Cripps, brother of Patrick. Havent seen much vision, but like the sound of him.

    Is he an option for us? Anyone know of his draft range?

    Ben Waterworth of Fox Sports with an article on the seven clubs that will play a major role at the AFL Draft in November.

    Seven clubs are set to load up at the AFL draft. These young stars can fix their big issues

    There’s something weird about the article. 

    Numerous draft prospects are mentioned in it but there’s one name conspicuously missing. Mac Andrew.

    Why would that be?

    Those 7 clubs dont need a high risk long term development player which is what Andrew is

    They need on ballers with immediate impact

    Andrew will be available late second round early third in my opinion due not to his qualities but more to do with club needs

    This Ben Waterworth who put Andrew in his top 10?

    Interesting that they have us taking Roberts at 17 but then follow that with Mitch Knevitt going to brisbane with much better stats and better write up than Roberts.

    Was told in grand final week that the club have put a lot of time into Mitch Knevitt. 

    I don't follow the draft so i don't know anything about him but he's the only name I've had mentioned to me aside from Woewodin JNR.

    If we draft him, I'd like to nominate "Evil" as his nickname.

    Knevitt seems to be projected to go anywhere between picks 15-30 (such is the evenness of the middle parts of the first round onwards). He seems very much like a Goodwin/Taylor player. Big bodied inside mid, but apparently also quick.

    Yes definitely will appeal given his size and pace.  Knevitt would probably appeal to the Cats at pick 22 if he lasted that long. It might be another chance for the Dees to get Chris Scott angry 🤣🤣🤣

    I don't love that tape at all. Seems to rush a lot of his disposals and doesn't play with any power, he doesn't use his speed to take on tacklers and doesn't hold the ball to release runners. A couple of good quick handballs but a couple of panicked turnover ones too. More of a Setterfield or Cale Morton type from that viewing. At that size and athleticism there's plenty to work with but there's also a lot of work to do!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
