    Also worth noting that our recruiting team was originally planning to select Georgiades with pick 32 before he was snapped up earlier than expected by Port. 

    Safe to say our recruiters have an eye for finding 'it', that's for sure.

    You could even argue that Rivers has been more impressive than Anderson given the different positions they play...

    He's a stager and quite dislikeable but Weightman should be higher in that list

    Credit to the development coaches and their team as well as recruiters.

    A small technicality - this is the 2019 draft

    I know that it's the off-season and the Herald Sun is scrounging around for AFL stories. I also appreciate that it's November, so the Herald Sun is desperately trying to find stories with a link to the up-coming draft. But re-ordering a draft held less than 2 years ago is fatuous.

    At least, that's what I would have written in any other year to justify why no Melbourne players made the top 10 or moved upwards in their personal ranking. 

    (Let's be honest, it's a meaningless exercise given the brief opportunity these players have had to show their talents.)

    Where is Young, Ash and Warner??

    young especially looks a beauty. So quick and clean and a great kick.

    Let's go back a few years there is no doubting who is the best player in the 2014 and 2015 drafts. We had early picks but Petracca and Oliver thank you very much.

    We also selected Mitch Hannan and Bayley Fritch in subsequent drafts with with much later picks and they both lit up the finals.

    Our recruiting is almost exact in an inexact science.

    Given this was actually the 2019 draft.

    ...in the 2020 draft Bowey would probably be re ranked in the top 5 and could be argued the new number 1 after his 7 games.

    they rated Bowey #4  (2020) and Clarrie #1 (2015) and Tracc #1 (2014)

    In the same article Bayley Fritsch was re-ranked as No.3 in his draft year ... originally 31

    Spargo in the same draft was originally picked at 29 but given the attrition rate of those picked above him,  he might sit just outside the top 10 (or better) in a re-ranked scenario

    If Rowell is at 10, don’t know how you can have Anderson at 4? Rowell’s 2020 was better (prior to injury) than Anderson’s 2021.

    Right now probably so (with the small sample size) but he looks the goods already ... most impressive aspect is his exquisite kicking to position

    Remarkable for a 7 game player ... and he plays tall as well.  Big future by the looks of it

    Going to suggest Fake Footy do a 2021 re-draft before the actual draft takes place.

    How you can meaningfully re-rank a draft after 12 months, as Fox Footy have done, is beyond me.

    All backing up that Taylor has gone past all (including Wells & Clayton*) as the best talent identifier in the business

    He's on a hot streak and who is to say he can't keep going?  Recruiting with a real purpose

    At some stage we could be in the unique position of being talent overloaded ... and that's the position a club needs to be in

    We're not there yet but could be in the foreseeable future

    *Scott Clayton for his past record going back a bit

    Really does it matter what the time frame is? It's always as at the time the list is redrafted no matter the date. 

    Yes Dogga is 1 Kossie 3 and Riv 7 now and thoroughly deserving.

    Ill be surprised if our 3 are not always in the top10 or very near especially if they keep racking up "premiership player" in the next half decade.

    Congrats to JT Tim Lamb and the team as usual their judgement is spot on.

    Taylor seems to genuinely love the game.

    He's just signed a long term renewal of his contact which means we will have him for a few flags yet.

    Its ironic that he is really good friends with Bevridge, but he suggested he go elsewhere, Collingwood first and then he came to us. He has been able to pick out players in a number of positions, not just midfielders but talls and defenders and there's no reason we can't get 4 in a row with him doing the recruiting.

    We were gifted Petracca at pick 2, I think time will tell Sparrow was an inspired pick and everyone thought we went too early on Oliver.

    Bang, Bang, Bang.

    Yes Taylor has the midas touch ... Stephen Wells did go off the boil eventually but that might have had a bit to do with the policy on the age demographics of their recruits

    And wasn't he shuffled elsewhere within the club into a similar area?

    For whatever reason the Cats didn't miss a beat for a good period (with draftees) and then decided to change tack and top up with oldies (whilst the game had become faster with younger legs needed to do the 2-way running)

    Simon Dalrymple at the Dogs and then Sydney might be the only one I rate above Taylor purely for having the same level of huge success with early picks (Bont, Stringer, Macrae, Naughton) and then some more late round gems.

    Taylor’s been freakish in the first and second round but surprisingly colder with late round picks.

    The other clubs who have done really good jobs lately are Port, Brisbane and also GWS since Sos left.

    I think Rowell still goes somewhere between 1-3. And I’d have Green and Georgiades a little higher too.

    Still an incredible draft for the Dees no matter how you rank them.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
