    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.

    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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
