So now they have Wardlaw, Sheezel and Reid. Hell that’s going to get them a premiership surely?

+ LDU

Early premiership? They'd dominate the TAC Cup but it's going to be a fair long time until they're a premiership contender. Need a defence and another tall forward.

    Reid to North, sheesh they’re going to be good 

    So it pays off to be a basket case of a club for 4 years 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.

    I don't mind the idea of a draft lottery ala NBA.

    Sad to see Reaid going to North… Or is he still gettable? Hawthorn did rebuild via multiple high picks in the one draft… Clarkson possibly do the same here by trading out Pick 1.

    Anyway, Dees need to get hold of GC Pick 5.

    Duursma (Pick 4) & GC Pick 5 (Best Available)

    Trade for a Key Position Forward. Grundy to Port for Georgiadis…?

    it was always a pipedream. let's take our picks to the draft and let JT work his magic.

    Not if WC had finished last as they should 😭.

    Pick 4 and 6 this year was gettable for us, then it would be a matter of how keen WC is to trade.

    Worked for us.

    That's the way the comp is designed, would never want to see a draft lottery, NBA is totally different to AFL with only 5 starting players.

    Brayden George still to come with LDU, Simpkin, Thomas and Larkey up front.

    Building a very good side.

    I can see a few injuries before their game this week.

    The bad news is we aren't getting Reid.

    The good news is the league doesn't have to give in to North's woe is me sooking for priority picks. No more Ben McKay pick 2 compo. No more nonsense with Colonel Sanders.

    We should get a fair crack at pick 4 or pick 5, which will then ease out at least one spot with Walter from the Suns but that's better than McKay compo and Sanders off the board.

    Ziebell already got the retired/assaulted. LDU out last week. Shouldn't be hard to add a few more.

    Hard to see FA compo or priority picks being ahead of the Eagles. But they will be gifted Sanders some how.

    It’s the reason we won a flag.


    Exactly why they should change the system, now that we’ve already been able to take advantage of it! Stop anyone else from doing the same!

    We had a pair of number 1 picks and didn't win anything.

    We had picks 2, 3 (which would shouldn't have got but we did deserve a top 10 pick for Chip) and traded up from pick 6 I believe for pick 4 to get Oliver and we win a flag.

    If anything that franks the argument that a lottery that still sees the bottom 4 clubs prioritised but doesn't guarantee the top pick to anyone is a good idea.

    I mean, assuming we didn't stuff their development we would've had a far better side in the early 10's with Dusty and Nic Nat than our pick 1's.

    1. Reid - North

    2. Walter - Gold Coast

    3. Curtin - West Coast

     

    Dorks would choose from Duursma, McKercher or Watson and we'd have a pick of the other 2 as I can see Freo's pick landing just after Dorks

    2 very handy picks if we get the Suns pick 4/5. That’ll give an immediate boost  to our list. 
     

    Need two athletes with speed and skill that’ll help with ball movement and transition in the coming years.

    North and Freo will end in 18th and 15 th spot respectively , this improve our position of getting no.1 draft pick thou a long shot. What would we need to give up Pick 5, pick 15 and next years 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder for a Grundy deal.

    Our alternative would be get Caddy and Read

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
