Are you saying we would pick Caddy over Curtin? Cal had us taking Curtin if he's still available at pick 6. I doubt Caddy would have been taken before pick 6, although Cal did later link Caddy to the Dees.

That’s what I’ve heard.  I reckon I might have the top 10 by the weekend

    Reid, Walter, McKercher, Duursma
    Hawks: Watson
    Dogs: Sanders
    Dees: Caddy or Curtin
    GWS: Windsor, (Caddy taken) or Curtin
    Geel: Curtin/(Caddy taken)/ O’Sullivan/ Wilson/ Leake
    Ess: O’Sullivan/(Windsor, Caddy taken)/Wilson/Hardeman
    Adel: Wilson/O’Sullivan (taken)
    With an Ethan Read bid some where.

    Rough attempt at amalgamating your mail with Cal Twomey’s. 

    If the Hawks and Dogs picks start to filter through before the draft the focus will switch towards our choice. 

    Curtin seems the hardest to place, could go 5, 7-13. Us and GWS might prioritise needs, so my guess is the Cats grab him.

    Hopefully Leake is available at 11 for us

    I doubt it. Sheehan is very inaccurate in these drafts each year.

    Was in a restaurant 1 night in 2008, Sheehan was at the next table, asked him If Nic Nat would look good in a dees strip, he said, " Believe me the best player in the draft is Jack Watts", He goes on Hype not smarts, if he says we will pick someone, then hopefully we don't.

    I think GWS really like Leake from the reports I've read and he's certainly in contention according to their list manager.

    I was told 2 months ago we were heavily into Duursma, Watson & Caddy. I took it with a grain of salt. Maybe some truth there?

    I just don’t see it myself.

    Yeh they’re probably the danger. I feel moving up to 11 with all those picks will be a waste if we don’t get Leake or Windsor

    Could grab both.

    According to Cal T. :

    ”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

    Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

    Take it if we get offered it.

    Why?

    You get a player this year, who could get you Reid in a couple of years and even if not, is the type of player we need and you have him now.

    WC could rise a few spots and you don’t know who is where next year and you are a year behind in development of a player.

    Not for me.

    At first I was against this, but over time I’m warming to the idea. I’ll happily leave it in the hands of JT and TL.

    The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
