I just wanted to get to 1,000 posts


I can see why.

 

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

Edited by 2021

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.


A good number of Tassie prospects this year. Liking the look of Schoenmaker, has an amazing left foot kick, nice size about him too 194cm

Cal T. said you start to find out more about who’s taking who, around Cup day.

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.

Re-read your question @Damo and updated my reply.

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

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
