Why would we do that? Best case is saints finish last and that pick would only give us 55 without any fs or nga bids. Doesn’t make sense

Agree makes no sense whatsoever🤯 plus dont we have to take 3 players??

    We simply don't rate anyone remaining, and would rather push the pick to next year, even at the expensive of a few spots, than waste it this year

    Taj will be our last player selected tonight so we are turning picks we wont use into more currency to play with next year.

    We could have taken Williams with the pick we traded, giving us a Hawkins type who can ruck a bit as well as key forward.

    Andy M-W looking likely rookie and If no one picks Taj he could then be another. Are we looking at a ruck forward type in maybe Caminitti, or however you spell his name?

    Interesting to see the plan.

    The draft is saying Williams might be more a Pederson or Sellar than a Hawkins.

    I think we’ll add Woey to the main list, AMW to the cat b and still take another rookie. Be it at the draft or after a summer training session

    You have as many picks as you have list spots. We still have one spot left. Therefore we still have a pick.

    But why do you give away a higher pick this year for a known lower pick next year?

    We can get him without using a pick at the end of the draft if no one nominates him. Otherwise we can use next years picks as a draft deficit if someone does.

    Don't worry he is a Melbourne player.

    Because we know we have him already. We don't have the list spots so may as well trade the picks into next year, which may or may not be useful. I'm sure Adelaide's future 3rd will be ok.

    We don't need a pick. You have to draft 3 players. He has nominated Melbourne. He will automatically be a Melbourne player at the end of the draft.

    Our 5th rounder, it’s back from the dead after we traded our 3rd and 4th

    The Eagles love loading up on talls. I remember similar disappointment when they took big Bailey Williams. He’s handy, but not big enough to really ruck at AFL level and I’m not sure the athleticism is there to make a quality forward.

    You're getting too caught up in the number of the picks.

    We will take Woewodin as our last selection (rightly or wrongly).

    So we either use 51 on Woewodin and be done for the night, or we gain future capital for next year and pick Woewodin up at the end of the draft.

    We now own 2x 3rd rounders and 2x 4th rounders for next year. Should help facilitate more trades or draft movement in 2022

    Its like a rookie upgrade at the end of the draft. It just happens as the last pick.

    Fair enough but it can be confusing. I thought if no one nominated Taj and Andy M-W we could take them as Rookies saving money and keeping a senior list spot.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
