i was just reading about who are the top draft prospects for next yr and apparently it is known as the "big man" draft

apparently there are alot of ruckman and KPP, due to an influx of basketballers changing over to our game...there is also genuine talented footballers who have always played our game

if we finish in the bottom 2 this season and get priority picks we could end up with 2 picks in the top 4, that is definately food for thought dont you think

2 of the top 4 prospects fit well for us very nicely...

Matt Kreuzer - 200cm ruckman who is very athletic and covers the ground well and has good disposal(he could solve our ruck problem and be perfect to take over from white when he goes)

Pat Veszpremi - Quick midfielder with exquisite skills, one-of-a-kind type midfielder...rated better than marc murphy(he would fit in very nicely with brock mclean, nathan jones, clint bartram, cam bruce, colin sylvia, and brent moloney- good mix of inside and outside midfielders)

also Hayden Czwarno or Bellchambers could be a handy pick up as a backup ruckman

maybe also pickup a decent KPP to assist our pickups of garland and frawley which look like future CHF and CHB for us

maybe finishing last could bring us a premiership in the next 2 years...i really feel this is the case!!

    Well we are going to make a Preliminary Final at worst, so you can scrap that idea

    be realistic....i dont think we can make the finals from our current position

    therefore it'd be a waste for us not to throw this season and at least pick up veszpremi and kreuzer

    It would be interesting to see how the commentators go with these names!!! I for one like the fact that I can pronounce the surnames of our list!

    I can already see the Herald Suns dodgy/poxy/obvious headlines after this kid plays a half decent game

    'Young rookie on Kreuze control'

    'Matt Kreuzer's in debut game'

    lets see out the season before we start worrying about who we are going to draft!

    And the priority rules have changed. The priority picks now come at the start of the 2nd round....

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
