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.

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
