    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
