Mistake if we don’t take Curtain at 6 assuming he is still there, Leake should still be there 11 so no need to rush and take him early if we also want him. We are set for mids and they are easier to draft or trade for if we want another next year.

I significantly doubt Leake will be available at 11. I feel Geelong would love him, as would GWS.

And what if you count Curtin as a midfielder? I prefer him as a mid than down back

Well the Club has the say so let’s get behind their choice and after all Windsor could be great at pick11. 

I want Curtin also at 6 but I’m a key position down the track. 

I really would be shocked if we even contemplated taking Collard with one of our first two picks

 

According to BF today concerning how many live picks clubs have. I Have not checked it.

Melbourne
Starting list size: 36
Out: 5 (Hibberd, Dunstan retired, Grundy, Jordon, Harms trade/FA)
In: 3 (Billings, Fullarton, McAdam trade) - plus D.Turner possibly promoted
Current senior list: 34 players
Current rookies: 4 Cat A (McVee, Sestan, Turner, Verrall) + 2 Cat B (Moniz-Wakefield, Farris-White)
Live picks: 4 (6, 11, 42, 93)

Sounds like we’ve also delisted Milkshake this afternoon, with a view to adding him back onto the rookie list.


I have complete faith in our recruitment team and whomever is selected by Jason Taylor and his colleagues, it will guarantee no Moore, Harmes, Dunn.  :ph34r:

 

The Dwight phantom draft for 2023 - assuming no live trading, which there will be. 

  1. Harley Reid (WCE)
  2. Jed Walter (GCS)
  3. Colby McKercher (NM)
  4. Zane Duursma (NM)
  5. Daniel Curtin (Haw)
  6. Nick Watson (WB)
  7. Ethan Read (GCS)
  8. James Leake (MFC)
  9. Nate Caddy (GWS)
  10. Riley Sanders (GEE)
  11. Caleb Windsor (ESS)
  12. Darcy Wilson (AFC)
  13. Conner O'Sullivan (MFC)
  • I think Essendons greatest list need now is a classy, quick, pure wingman so they'll target Windsor with pick 11
  • Adelaide apparently really like Darcy Wilson and i expect their next pick they'll target Ollie Murphy and get another key back 
  • I have Conner O'Sullivan sliding due to Wilson, Leake and WIndsor all flying up the ranks 
  • I fully expect West Coast to trade pick 1 and us to attempt to move up the draft order in some capacity.

Essendon have Nic Martin, Duursma perhaps even Tsatas for their wings, Windsor would be a really odd choice for them

I take your point, i think 13 and 11 could easily go either way, and i don't think many at the MFC would be dissapointed with Windsor or O'Sullivan 

Makes you wonder if Norf even need picks 3 and 4 given their needs.

Their midfield is stacked with likes of LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Tarryn Thomas and Will Phillips... All high draft picks

They don't need McKercher, etc. They need key defenders, classy flankers and goal sneaks which they can pick up later. 

We basically take the leftovers in a shallow draft, take what’s left on the table with 8 & 13, unless West Coast accept all of our picks, plus next years, throw all our chips in  for number one.

Disappointing to hear Orlando Turner had refused to attend the combine

No commitment by the looks of it

Maybe a club told him to refuse.

That's not how it works..

He didn't attend because he missed his flight.

No that’s not the case Either Windsor or O’Sullivan are good for us. But if we can go some spots higher our first pick is a better option but would rule it a second high draft pick no doubt.

Cal twomey and Kevin Sheehan did a mock draft on gettable with Melbourne picking o Sullivan at 6 ahead of sanders and Darcy wilson with our next pick

I never count on Sheehan to be realistic in terms of who goes where. Plus it wasn’t a Phantom Draft, just a mock draft based on needs, not on who actually goes where.

After the mock draft finished, Cal linked us to both Curtin & Caddy, which is interesting.

Think we'll take Caddy with the first pick, hopefully Windsor with the second if he's there

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
