    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.

    No Leake?

    Didn’t mention Leake, in regards to our first pick

    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.

    Seems a bit of a reach at 10.

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

    Non-stop talking all year round....

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
