Interested to see what happens with Brayden George, the ACL likely to make him fall in the order.

    Well, that was a yawn - much ado about nothing. Predictable when dealing with the Peptides who don't know a good deal when they see one.

    Especially with Dodo in charge.

    Interesting from the Age article 

    Taylor stopped short of revealing who Melbourne were interested in but said a “young ruck” was one direction they could go, after selecting Matt Jefferson to potentially pair with Jacob Van Rooyen as future twin towers in attack.

    Clearly Barnett is right in the frame here.

    Ducks & drakes. Only exceptional rucks get taken outside the rookie draft.

    I would be super happy picking up Barnett. Not sure if it's worth trading out a good pick next year though.

    Sounds like our type of ruck.

    This year's most highly touted ruckman, Barnett is a contested marking weapon whether pushing forward or behind the ball. Though the middle, Barnett is an effective tap ruckman, but what separates him at ruck contests is his strength to win the ball himself out of the ruck before disposing of the football.

    gws pick 22 & 34 for f1 and 37 to try and get george/cowan/barnett

    We're only taking one more pick so this won't work. Maybe f1 and 37 for 22 and a f2?

    Me too, makes perfect sense. Ruckman rarely have impact before 22/23 yo. Both Max and Brodie will be well into their 30's by then so why not give Barnett and Faris-White the best mentorship imaginable. It could be the perfect succession plan. 

    Also wouldn't have a problem giving up our first pick next year to get him.

    I wouldn’t trade up for him but Hudson O’Keefe is very underrated if he was available at 38. Great combination of athleticism and physicality. Similar to Draper at Essendon 

  • Quote

    An excellent insight into the wheeling and dealing of the first round draft night.  While not much happened there was a lot happening behind the scene.  trades-that-didn-t-come-off and unsurprisingly we were in the thick of it!  I wonder who we had in mind for GWS's (initial) pick #19?

    There are few unknowns between the clubs at draft time.

    Sydney's bids and trades were the only interesting aspect of the whole draft.  .

    While Twomey had a fair bit of the info before the draft, I'm guessing the finer details have been provided to him in the last week.

    Fascinating reading.

    I was informed 4 weeks ago by an Essendon insider that the Bombers were 99% certain to take Tsatas.

    Great insight. Cal Twomey really putting himself out there as one of the best journo's in the land when it comes to the draft.

    Will be very interesting to watch if we target Humphrey's in the future when he comes out of contract.

    Maybe they can throw in pick 7 when we steal him away?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
