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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
