None of Jefferson, Allan or George are invited to the draft night at Marvel according to Fox Sports website (who would know).

13 players invited Ashcroft, Cadman, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Tstatas Phillipou, Humphrey, MacKenzie, Ginbey, Clark, Busslinger. Hollands, Fletcher. That’s say to me none of them are top 10 for the obligatory top 10 photo.

    Adonski saying we have offered Bombers 3 firsts for 4 & 22.

    Assume it’s Phillipou, what are your thoughts?

    Then maybe 37 and 22 for 19 from GWS.

    If we rate him that high you would think its something like 4 and 22 for 13 and like 2 x 12-18 picks next year. Lets assume we win the flag in 2023 therefore 2022 18 and 2023 22 are much the muchness and probably moreso attractive for teams being next years draft highly rated. So its 13 and likely a 2023 pick 12-17 for this years 4. The risk that MFC or Freo bomb next year is low so I continue to back JT and Lamb being aggressive when they know who they rate and want.

    If they want Hollands and gave us 10 for 13 and a F2 or 37, they would still get Hollands at 13 and the other pick in the deal would be a freebie.

    From Marc McGowan at the Age. Marc speculates that we could trade w/ Dogs to get ahead of Eagles for Allan:

    We must have half a dozen first round picks according to all these trades were supposedly involved in

    Yeah, but none of them are in the top 10 it seems

    Grabbing one of the highly touted mids while retaining 13 for one of Jeffer or JaKob would be ideal 

    How would that play out? No way we're able to flip two late future firsts for a top 10 pick.

    I like this idea of a top 5 pick and a start of second round early 20s pick for our three firsts.

    We'll need to wait another 24 hours for that then I guess

    More so about the stars aligning, I.e Allan getting through to 13, and grabbing GWS' pick 19 hoping one of Jeffer or Ryan remained

    I saw Cal say somewhere earlier that one of the players plays like Weightman / Papley. Does anyone know who he was talking about, please?

    Another small x factor forward to complement Kozzy would be very high on my list.

    Think I read Charlie Clarke compared to him 

    Problem is we already have a surplus of small fwds at vfl level

    None of them are good enough though. There's a reason we took Kozzy in the first round.

    Got some mail it’s Humphrey, but not long to wait now, either way.

    Not sure Hollands will still be around if Blues swap picks.

    It’s still likely to have 

    1- GWS :Cadman 

    2- Lions (f/son) Ashcroft 

    3- Kangas : Sheezel 

    4- Kangas : Wardlaw 

    5- Bombers : Tsatas

    6- Suns: Ginbey

    7 - Hawks : Phillipou 

    8- Cats: Clark

    9- Eagles: Busslinger 

    10- Saints: Mckenzie 

    11- Carlton: Humphrey

    12- Bulldogs: Hollands

    13 - Eagles: Allan

    14- Dees… leaves us with a likely Hewitt or Jefferson choice.

    (we should bid on Davey or Fletcher if no other clubs have pushed that button) . 

    I’d prefer Phillipou, Hollands or Allan but I’m thinking they’ll definitely be gone by our pick.   

    The media have us in line for pick swaps  I love our aggressive approach and creative look at the draft process.  If we tempted the Bombers, Tsatas would be a huge win even if we gave up 2-3 picks to land him. 

    Pick swaps to grab 19-22? … I’d see us definitely looking at Brayden George or Max Gruzewski at this pick. Either would be great additions although we’d have to wait on George until 2024.  Dees seemed to be rumoured to be looking at Jakob Ryan as a speedy rebounding half back.  Others at this pick would be Jaiden Major or Jakob Konstanty if available.  

    Pick 37 may be part of pick swaps or unused. If it sits “as is”, then with pick 37 we’d have a look at Harry Lemmey (ruck) or running Mids like Jaxon Binns, Harvey Gallagher or Billy Dowling.  Each represent very good outside run and skill.  Caleb Mitchell from the Bushrangers is my smokie selection.

    • 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. 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. 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 ‘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.
