Really surprised Blake Drury was overlooked.

Agree Dazzle. Although short he is strongly built, clean with the ball and makes good decisions. He is also a quality leader that is a highly competitive type. Played as a mid that went forward for Caulfield Grammar. The one that’s got me surprised though is  another Caulfield boy inMitch Szybkowski. I thought we may have a nibble as he trained with us and is a very Melbourne type player and did some training with us pre season. For rookies a developing ruck but we have lost a bit of foot speed over the trade period so if we can find someone that will provide a bit of outside run with x factor then I think we will have a balanced list.

    Essendon may have a PSD pick first.

    No, could have pre listed as a cat B rookie before rookie draft

    Calling @ManDee - any local knowledge you can provide re this young man?

    Sorry, no info. Didn't get to any footy this year too busy. GVFL is a good standard as is APS. He looks interesting, I like the Jakovich comparison, we should be so lucky!

    Talent and needs fulfilled.  Certainly put in place the succession planning across ruck, key forward and key defence with youngsters Verrell, Jefferson and Adams.  I think Sestan was just that wildcard who was too good to pass up.  Raw ability and different pathway than the standard NAB League.  Like to see more Mids with pace next year in the draft with our picks.  Two 1st rounders should get JT a nice bounty once again. JT 🥇

    Agree Normie, best available mid next year with Freo's top 5 pick

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
