    They must know a demon supporter as that is an 'old style' scarf; not sure how long ago it was around.  Its my fave and the one I wear despite the many 'member' scarves I have received.

    Also quite possible she is a demons supporter. Would make that moment all the more special.

    Great to see such a ‘big boned’ player get  a list spot. Maybe there’s hope for me yet!

    Fat chance!

    Rookie picks are a long shot. So astute selection in picking any kid who can slot 24 goals. That is no easy feat irrespective of the opposition. Plenty of kids playing country leagues with enough talent to mix with it with the silver spooners who get opportunities handed to them on a platter.

    I don't disagree with your statement in the broader sense @ThreeOneSix, but I think Ses was a Xavier boy.

    24 goals. Well fed with that silver spoon.

    There must be a story as to why the kid appears to be a relative unknown. A brief read last night on the kid is that he lowered George Wardlaws colours in a kick around. Thats impressive. Only Humpries could’ve did that.

    If Oliver Sestan is a Demon Supporter then he joins James Harmes who did it via the rookie draft.

    I got the feeling JT has selected Oliver as a replacement of Jake Melksham/Alex Neal-Bullen in the long run.

    Early aspirations like this will steer the young 'un to real points of focus in development. If the skills are there - develop these into a very good, consistent player with a 'vision' for own contribution(s).

    He is built like a bull similar to Clayton Oliver or Christian Petracca and has a great kicking depth, he may turnout to be the steal of the draft.

    If the MFC had him playing school footy and some U18 footy in the country to keep out of prying eyes good on them.

    If that is true (deflecting prying eyes so far in advance) that would be the stroke of genius. It worked, despite Sestan's statistics.

    Looks like they might have received a swag bag delivery from the club that most likely included the jumper Oliver is wearing so they could take a photo for the socials and it might have also included that scarf. Or either they or a friend are Dees supporters and they supplied the scarf.

    24 goals in one game. Did he play for the Campbells Creek Magpies?

     

    (bonus point for anybody who gets that joke).

    The great comment from JT was that we don’t expect the draftees to play early, but rather to just develop their games.

    That is just so different to the old Melbourne, where we would say that hopefully draftees would play some games next year.

    It’s always hard to make any opinion off a small highlight reel, but Oliver takes one grab marks and pushes off the ground at the right moment. 
    He could be a fantastic pick in future

    The sort of finer points that JT is so good at discerning.

    I really like what I see. I like what I read. I love this pick. I have very positive vibes. 

    If this kid makes it after being basically picked up a from a training session sign JT up for life.

    Got a touch of Allen Jakovich about him.

    They may well be ethnic compatriots by ancestry, Jakovich's ancestry is Croatian and Sestan is a common surname in Croatia (well a friend of mine shares that surname). Looks like a decent rookie pick, worth a shot 👍

    Is he suggesting here that he’s downgraded his ranking of Melbourne’s drafting efforts because we selected a player with some injury concerns?

    If so, he would have missed out on recruiting Joel Selwood who sustained a serious knee injury during his final year of junior football that caused him to fall to Geelong's first pick at seventh overall in the 2006 AFL draft. 

    Those recruiters who overlooked him missed out on a 355 game player, long time Cats’ skipper, a quadruple premiership player, a six time All Australian (and three-time captain of that team) and a great of the game. 

    What a dill!

    Was that the team that kicked 100 goals in one game?  Castlemaine region?  I'm thinking 1990s.

    The very same. They hold the Guinness World Record for the highest score in an official game of Australian Rules football when they defeated Primrose in 1992. 

    100 - 34 - 634 

    Primrose somehow scored 18 points.   

    I’ve often tried to imagine how that even happened, and what that match must have looked like.

    Oh dear - Tatura sound as gifted as my old touch rugby team "the karaoke koalas" 

    Unlike Tatura I honestly can't recall any game where we held the lead

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
