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…?

    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.

    It’s the reason we won a flag.

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

    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.

    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

    • 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.

    • 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?
