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.

WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

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

    It is not the justification, as no one would take a dud in the hope you could swap him.

    Curtin was suggested to be as good as  Reid by some pundits.

    It’s more an insurance bonus if homesickness leads him to want to return to WA.

    If he is available at our pick I would think we probably take him and swapping him later with Reid would not enter into the drafting discussion.

    The Eagles will offer it for every spot that Curtin is available, but I’m not convinced we take it. Especially not straight up.

    That said, if there’s no one left that we rate in the elite crop we have a choice to make between:

    1. Moving back the prized part of the Jackson trade back one year further 

    2. Taking Curtin who seems to be increasing his flight risk level to a fairly high level, which means he could be gone inside 3 years. Could all be rubbish, but the player manager played his cards strongly. 

    Im always of the belief you draft interstate talent unless you think it’s inevitable. Curtin could be flirting with it. Only those with inside knowledge would know.

    I’m hoping JT and Co have someone else in the top bracket they want instead and take the pick.

    Curtin’s manager said he has talked to the Dees, and that they said they would take him at 6, if he’s still there.

    Skip ahead to about 10.30 in.

    Melbourne #6 -> North

    North #2 #6 -> West Coast (= Curtain & satisfies their want for 2 top 10 picks)

    West Coast #1 -> North (= Reid)

    North & West Coast Future First Rounds -> Melbourne

     

    Would you?

    That's potentially pick 1 and 2 in next year's draft. You'd have to look at it

    WC 2024 first rounder is 95% to be either pick 1 or 2. most likely 1.

    Suns, Freo, Hawks, bombers will all improve

  • Quote

    I wonder if we consider trading to North for their 2023 p15 and 2024 1st?  Cal has Darcy Wilson going to North with this selection. 
     

    is Wilson + Norths 2024 1st > that Windsor?

    You may well turn out to be right. The wildcard is what Free Agency compo picks get dealt out by AFL House.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
