Tsatas highlights.

Few turnovers here and there and seems to rush it when he has time.

My preference in no particular order is Sheezel, Cadman, Wardlaw and Jhye Clark

I spoke with Harry last week and asked him what he thought about being drafted by Melbourne in light of the fact that we might potentially get an early draft pick in the Freo trade. He was a bit wary because he felt it was a tough team to break into but I think he was being modest. He’s a Hawks fan and would be thrilled to end up there.

    Tsatas’ disposal, kicking technique in particular, is very iffy. His decision making also seems quite reactive.

    Sheezel on the other hand is all class………….wow.

    Think Mattaes Phillipou could be a good fit and potentially in our rangeΒ 

    strong bodied mid/forward 192cm apparently a lot of similarities to bontempelliΒ 

    Yep, he's the one I like Edm. Bottom ager. We're all experts at this stage and as an expert, I like the look of this guy.

    He even moves like Bont. I believe he has the highest ceiling out of anyone in the draft with his combination of contested ball, kicking, decision making, and overhead marking.

    I find it interesting that the article last week mentioned that we are looking for a top 7 pick, I heard Jason Taylor recently say that he thinks there’s an even group at the top of elite talents and then there’s quite a drop off to an even pool of players. Makes me wonder who those 7 players are if the purpose of a top 7 pick is to guarantee one of those players.

    Jimmy Toumpas says hello.

    Tsatas has a far better contested game and has genuine speed.

    the obvious concern on phillipou is that we currently don't have a pick high enough to get him and i'm always wary of drafting south oztrayans due to go home factor and the majority playing outside running games at local level that don't suit the modern afl game

    If we don’t get the early young key forwards like Cadman and Gruzewski, Fletcher Hart might be worth a rookie opportunity.

    Fletcher Hart
    Club:Β Murray Bushrangers/Albury
    Height:Β 200cm
    Weight:Β 97kg
    DOB:Β 01/07/03

    A tall forward who is an imposing athlete, Hart is a mobile big man who presents strongly as a marking target up forward. He showed a thin slice of his potential when he took 10 marks and kicked six goals in a NAB League game against the Northern Territory earlier this year.Β

    I like the look of Phillipou a lot. Reminds me more of GWS Kelly than Bont. Excellent vision and creates time and space. Bottom ager too boot

    He's a smooth mover for sure and yep he just qualifies for this draft by about a week I think.Β

    Chris Doerre’sΒ October Power Rankings have landed.

    In them you’ll find some new names emerging in the first-round calculations.

    Voss as a 1st rounder???

    Doerre likes to mix em up!

    Edit. If 22yo Voss has been overlooked in a couple of drafts already, doesn't that make him a free hit to any club? Or have I got the draft rules mixed up?

    This draft a very midfielder heavy draft, and I feel we’re currently served fairly well in that regard.

    I think we should be targeting explosive pace to replace Hunt, and project key forwards & rucks.

    But I like that we’re currently loaded for next year’s draft that has a deep top end.

    Oliver Hollands is the one for me - likely to be around about when we make our first selection at pick 14.

    South Australians aren’t anywhere near as much of a flight risk as those from Western Australia. The real concern on Phillipou is his disposal which is one of the reasons that he could slide below no. 10 in this draft.Β

    Would the club not entertain trading pick 13 and future 2nd or 1st? Seeing as though we have two future firsts (2023) and two future 2nds (2023)...we could get higher up the order this year - given there's some F/S picks.

    I know next year's draft is being touted as stronger, yet I'd like to see a better return on investment for losing Jackson this year.

    We've got a good record of trading up/picks.

    Reckon he'll get snapped up pretty quickly by either Geelong or Carlton before our pick unfortunately.Β

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Β There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Β Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the β€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
