It’s going to be a boring to watch but I’m still looking forward to it. Excited to see who’s the lucky draftee is that gets to join our young and talented list. 

How things have changed these past few years. The Grand Final is now our GF, not draft day.

    That is what I said in point 3) of the post you quoted but curiously deleted it from the quoted post 🤔  

    The deleted part of my post is below.

    There are many permutations of pick swaps for us and other clubs and yeah giving up pick 17 for two in the low 20's is one. 

    Honestly didn't see any point 3 when I quoted you. At the very least I didn't intentionally delete it.

    You know we won the flag when I only just realised it's draft night because Kayo popped up with a reminder on my phone.

    What a time to be alive!

    Horne-Francis looked the most unimpressed person to be taken at Number 1 in the draft I think I have ever seen.

    On the AFL website they have done the top 10

    Sorry I misread it. They were saying will they go as predicted and listed club and player.

    Mac Andrew to the Gold Coast. Bad luck for the kid. From a selfish perspective increases the chances of him coming home to us after 2 years or when the suns are disbanded

    Nothing surer. He will be in Melbourne (city) in 3 years.

    Thought the same MadAsHell - Seriously death by a thousand lashes would be welcomed rather than watching this waffling dribble.

    If this is the best night of the year for Cal Twomey then I am intrigued to know what a bad night for him could look like.......

    Not sure he isn't happy, I just fink he might be a foody player first and fourmost.

    Blake Howes looks a pretty safe pick as predicted on the phantoms.  Any one got any late mail as to our first choice? 

    All depends what the Giants do with their next pick.

    Twomey has the first 10 spot on. Would be a hell of a lot quicker and better if they just let him run through his selections as the draft.

    Given how many kids we had out there, the grand final was not that far off our draft day!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
