    Is anyone/website tracking the revised draft order as Academy bids are matched.  Would like to see what has happened to our #28 and #50.

    He'll go before our picks anyway so it doesn't matter if North pick him.

    Will he though?

    Tigers will likely take Macrae with the pick before ours.

    Hoping for him and Cook though!

    Yes... Cotchin and Martin both at the tail end of their careers.

    His uncle is a HUGE Dees fan, had big hopes he'd end up with us.

    Live pick swap with pies if mcrae doesnt get picked by gws would make sense

    Why no bid on McInnes?

    Hoping for Cook and Carroll now!

    Another idea to make the academies and father son a bit more "fairer".

     

    Similar system to now (points discount and bidding system) but you must have your next pick within 1 round (~17 picks) of the original pick, or else you can't bid. So you move up at most 1 round, plus pay the rest of the points from future picks like current.

    The club who gets out-bid gets the next pick like usual, and also another pick exactly 1 round later (~18 picks) as compensation. 

    So Dogs would have needed to keep their first rounder to bid. Adelaide would have got picks 2 and pick 21 (1st pick of round 2) in return for pick 1. Not perfect, but better than nothing. And the draft order is only a little effected overall.

     

    You can downgrade your picks, but if you trade them out completely, you could miss out on your player if you underestimate their pick.

    And live trading is increased as clubs offer to drop back in the draft order on the night if academy or f/s players go a bit lower than expected.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
