Among the other clubs to come forward for the Suns' pick 19, which they were officially granted last week as part of the AFL's concession package, is Melbourne.

The 2021 premiers' first pick for this year's draft is No.33 but the Demons are interested in grabbing the Suns' pick 19 in a deal that would require Melbourne to offload its future first-round pick.

    Pick 17

    Yeah, 19 once F/S and so on come into play. which is a strong pick. really curious if we have someone in mind in the draft, or there is a trade to be had there. 

    Won't happen but would love to swoop in at the 11th hour and nab Jordan Dawson

    Still think Brander from WCE would be handy for us.  You will get him cheap, that pick 49 we just picked up would do it.  I see him as a tall forward option, hasn't really had a chance to play that role at WCE.

    I agree but it’s a no from me as we are stacked right now for tall forwards. He’d also probably be reluctant given we have Jackson, Tmcd, BBBrown & then Weid already waiting in the mix.  Probably if Tmcd was retiring then he’d would certainly been a strong option.

    Agree. He is the one that could be very handy for us, at a cheap pick. I posted as much a while ago and at 22 and 195cms he is the right age and versatile.

    OK he might be a depth player but we are in a massive premiership window that we need to plan to extend for as long as we can, adding a 22yo Tall Forward that can swing into the backline or even into the midfield.  Think Tomlinson but younger and moves better.

    Rate Brander highly, the fact he doesn't seem to have a huge amount of interest makes me wonder if there is something we don't know. on the surface he should

    So you're saying it's a done deal?

    Doesn’t look like it we went for Dunstan

    According to the Hun Kade Chandler met with the Crows last week.

     

    Should we be looking to draft a replacement newshound to put pressure on Benny Gibson or promote from within the ranks?

    • 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.
