The Dunkley’s did a deal with Sydney that they would only accept a father son nomination if the Swans agreed to only match interstate clubs. Josh only wanted to go to Sydney if it was to avoid another interstate club, he had a strong desire to stay in Victoria. The Swans not matching had nothing to do with not rating Josh. 

Thanks DS. Didn’t know that intel.

    I would like us to grab Caleb Poulter a potential class act apparently  Happy to take Jack Carroll, Errol Gulden and Sam Berry though.

    Poulter would also be a good addition. Classy skilled left footer with good size and tackling ability. He’s definitely in the frame.

    After giving this careful consideration, I think we'll end up with:

    1.  Charlie Winner

    2.  Juan Hundred-Gamer

    3.  Andy Depth

    Interesting draft year for me, knowing less about the players than in any other year I can remember.
    I can sit back and be happy with whoever we get.

    On the piece of paper, in order of potential priority and likely availability  

    Macrae ?

    Carroll ?

    Cook ?

    Laurie

    Stone

    * bid Gulden

    * bid Coleman 

    Poulter

    Bowey 

    Winder

    Ford

    Angwin

    (* both Gulden and Coleman are excellent youngsters but imv bids are definitely going to be matched... but we may as well force swans and lions to use points)

    As the picks currently stand pre-draft.

    18. Carroll

    19. Holmes

    28. Bowey (if we keep it)

    or

    50. Callow 

    Think we'll add a tall to compliment our team if we go for two medium sized runners. Either that or another small forward but I don't think there will be much in the way of quality at the back end of the draft.

    I believe Green is pushing the credentials of Holmes very hard at the Dees.  I think he was his school footy coach.  Can anyone confirm this?

    I’ve heard of the Green House link but never Green Holmes

    Green was at St Kevin's and Holmes played school footy at Melbourne Grammar.

    No link at all.

    Don't think so Dazzle, almost certain Green was at MGS.

    Reckon we’ll swap 18 & 19 for North (originally our) pick 11.

    And take Archie

    Considering Essendon are expected to take him, and the fact that they have three (?) picks before 11, I can't see that happening. I get the feeling we may stay with the two picks rather than upgrade.

    And we'll say that we took Charlie Winner because he was clearly "the best available" with our first pick; that Hundred-Gamer "comes from a great family"; and we "couldn't believe our luck" that Depth was still available at our third pick. I accept that I may have those statements in the wrong order, though.

    So are we taking 3 or 4 players - I thought with the players being shifted to the rookie list we could now take 4?

    We’ve got room for 5 if we really wanted to, but every pick after 3 means we’re using a main list spot rather than a rookie spot. In effect we’d be spending 80k salary cap we don’t want to spend. 
     

    The draft could fall a particular way that makes 4 picks too good to pass up. But 3 seems far more likely.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
