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!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
