Passed on both Cook and Carroll. Seems like a [censored] up, but just gotta trust the recruiters I guess!

    Laurie and Bowey are two blokes who are described as great users with good footy IQ who never waste a disposal - makes perfect sense to me why we would be interested in both.

    Mentioned it on the Laurie thread, but both of these guys could easily push further up the ground (with Pickett) in the coming years.  Just because they are more forward type players doesn't mean they stay there for the long term.

    Lots to work with here and I like it from the club.

    We could get one at our next pick.

    happy with that, Bowey probably would've been available at 28 but both suit our needs, either could play on a wing as well long term

    Draft Central rated his Disposal as Elite, and one of his strengths was Clean Skills

    Two small forwards! Yes!

    I pretty much won't need to post anything on this forum again.

    Someone needs to get fired for leaking the Holmes pick.

    Unless it was Mahoney and then he needs to be sued.

    Bad clubs leak. Good clubs don’t. That’s pretty much it.

    This shambles of a club can’t keep making unforced errors.

    Collingwood have absolutely cleaned this draft up.

    They have just traded in pick 24 and pick 30.

    I'll be honest, can't say I am that excited with our picks so far.

    Sounds like we’re drafting for needs tonight rather than best available.

    We don’t need 2 small forwards. We do need 2 good kicks. Plenty of other needs if we really wanted to patch holes in the 22

    This stuff comes out every single year.

    A function of drafting so few players with elite kicking skills in tbe last decade.

    I could not be more pleased they have bitten tbe bullet and focused on addressing our greatest need - great kicks.

    • 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.
