Just watched the "Gettable" podcast.

In terms of the Dees 1st pick, Cal said we would wait to see who was left out of:

Curtin / Sanders / Watson.

He also said we would have an eye on Caddy (as he is a forward) and Windsor (who he described as the "flyer").

Also, Cal thought pick 1 would be traded to North. This would mean WC would be taking Curtin, which would leave us with Sanders or Watson. That would be a great result at our first pick, and I would expect it to be Sanders.

In all I’ve taken in (mostly from Cal Twomey and the like) we seem to be sitting in the bottom of the first two batches. 
top 6 of Reid duursma and mcKercher, curtin watson and sanders 

then next grouping is caddy Leake o Sullivan Windsor and Wilson. 
 

If all is out of our control and we walk away with Sanders and Wilson then we’ve done alright. Nothing wrong with either pick and both should work out fine. But to me it just feels too vanilla (off topic:very underrated flavour) 

I just have the feeling sanders isn’t a good Melbourne fit and will get the James Jordan treatment of waiting for something to go wrong with our all star centre square squad, none of which are close to finished. 
 

If there isn’t a slider presented to us then personally I’d prefer Leake or O Sullivan at 6. Might be a stretch but I see both as better needs picks and would rather choose for list balance than for top end talent.

Feel like there ain’t no Bailey Humphrey at pick 6 in this draft unfortunately

I think we wait and see who slips through to our first pick. We could be pleasantly surprised. If not, we still have options. We should be fine at 6, and I'm sure we had a good plan when we traded up to 11.

Adelaide are the club showing most interest to Darcy Wilson and could grab him at pick 10.

Any word on where O'Sullivan might land dazzle? I'm hoping he's there for us at pick 11.

It's quite amazing how much 'filler' time they do with that gettable show.

Yeah it’s good this time of year though. Best source of accurate information about the draft.

On the draft night when it comes to our pick 11, can we swap it for someone elses future pick. And could we for instance at our turn, swap our pick 11 plus our future 1st or 2nd to say Hawthorn for their future 1st?

Im not asking is it good value, I merely want to know if it is allowed.

Yep, providing all of that happens before the earliest current selection being utilised has been utilised.

6 & 11, for me , like to see any two of Curtin, Sanders, Leake, O’Sullivan, (Darcy) Wilson, Windsor or Murphy.  

I’m swaying towards Schoenmacher as pick 11 if we take a mid with pick 6 and O’Sullivan is off the board. 
194 not considered KPD but looks to me like one who has some brutality about how he goes about it and love that left foot

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
