It is paywall

37. Melbourne – Sam Gilbey (Claremont/WA)

Defender, 187cm, 73kg

Jordan says: The Demons got their young forward earlier and now, given the star power and balance of its list, they can afford to take a slight risk. A risk because he is recovering from a broken leg, not because of his talent. Battled injury and Covid earlier in the year, too, but Gilbey has more class and composure than plenty of others in the draft. Reads the play so well in defence but, given the time he gives himself with ball in hand, has shown glimpses of the tall midfielder he could become.

A huge NO to anyone from W.A!!

Gruzewski will be at GWS with one of their late teen picks.

Yeah absolutely 

I mean Jetta, Rivers, Woey, Alan Johnson, Darren Bennett, Seecamp, Nicholson, Armstrong and numerous others all wanted to leave.

Might as well trade out JVR asap

@IvanBartul13 HS phantom is the second phantom that has Sydney taking your man Josh Weddle the pick after ours. You think we are a chance to pick him up in front of them?

i trained with weddle last night, hes quick and has good size but he needs to get stronger through his arms and probably legs to become more explosive, we were in runners on a soggy track due to cricket season and it was a genuine slip and slide but he didn't seem to be hitting the deck as often as others were, didnt get to see any of his arial/contested work or much of his tight contested stuff but his general kicking skill and composure with ball in hand was clear

After a point against, he kicks out to the left to the pack and when going forward, he bombs it in to the left pocket boundary.

And then afterwards he likes to dine at a certain French Restaurant in Prahran.

Impressive determination to push through the pain barrier of decapitation. Kids made of tough stuff. Well, except his neck I guess.

I did feel the 183cm height measurement was generous

Just watched the highlights of Hewett and looks like a ready made recruit who has all the tools to become a good player in the near future, pace, good sense of awareness, size and has depth in his kicking. 

The only thing I hate is he played in Collingwood colours in the West.

Also played in Brissy colours for Scotch College, Suns colours for community club Caversham and Tigers colours for WA, either way wouldn’t mind seeing him in the red and blue

There’s some character concerns stuff floating around, would you say that’s usually WA teams dropping a prospect back? Or is there something there?

I don’t know of anything and don’t think any AFL side falls for such character flaw rumours in order for local sides to have a player fall back.

The Jack Darling claims are a myth, he dropped back because he was poor in his draft year and struggled to deal with more experienced opponents.

He really didn’t interview well, for some clubs, at the combine. And I’m probably understating it.

So the top 6 seems mostly settled. 

Let's assume Jefferson to the Eagles is legit.

To me, that means Ed Allan has already been picked, let's put him to Geelong for the sake of the argument (could easily be St Kilda or Dogs):

So we've got:

7. Hawthorn: ?
8. Geel: Allan
9. WC: Ginbey
10-12: St Kilda, Carl, WB ???
13: WC: Jefferson

So 4 picks and the following 5 guys: Clark, Tsatas, McKenzie, Hollands, Busslinger.

We might have some extra homework to do if one of those guys are available. JT would've done the work on McKenzie and Hollands and be pretty happy I reckon. Probably wouldn't need to do anything on Clark, you'd just take him.

Eagles need key forwards over key backs but it would be a surprise if they pass a local tall at ground zero of a rebuild. Saints, Dogs or Blues might've pounced on Busslinger anyway.

Tsatas would be interesting, a very non Melbourne player. Trade out of the pick for a team willing to pay up, then trade back in at 19 for Barnett or George? I can see that.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
