Phantom drafts already down the drain ...

Chaos!! ?

But seriously, there was likely to be chaos with such an even group at the top and a weird year, especially with journos having trouble getting information, as they've been saying. Could open up some clubs to do some pick trading now too.

    I like the pick and the player but the question in the new draft era that we probably will never know is whether they could have traded down a few spots and got an extra pick and still got him?  Obviously they think not.

    Reports are they tried to swap #2 with the Hawks (4 and 24) but Hawks lost interest.

    Collingwood trade 2021 2nd round so they can't trade their 1st round now - bit of a surprise.

    I think they can because they have an extra second rounder, but not 100% certain of that.

    Wasn't Boyd a number 1?

    Right you are. 

    To be clearer - no number 1 pick has won the flag with the club they were drafted to.

    Yep, but they've got so many picks to make this year and their 3rd picks was going to be in the 60s. They had to get some half decent picks, otherwise they'd have to get 4 players at the tail of the draft and give them all 2 year contracts.

    two picks in the 60s and future 2nd for two picks in the 40 I'm pretty sure they said from Hawks.

    Right as usual Goodoil, they've got the Dogs 2021 2nd for Treloar so 2021 1st rounder is still in play

    Surprised Ess didn't trade out pick 10.

    Adelaide bid next and if they bid on McInnes it puts pressure on Coll picks 15 and 17. 

    Will they match!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
