Nth think they are no chance, JT has been to Esperance sending the clear message we will take the best WA talent if it falls at our picks. West Coast take the flight risk with Read and missing out on multiple high end picks. There is something going on. 

I think so too and I must say, I like these dirty tactics. 

I feel like WCE deserve it too, i mean who turns down 6,11,F1.. its a ridiculously good offer.

I'm 25/75 on us getting Reid. Reckon something is happening with WC. North making noises re Curtin but don't think they reach for him at 2/3.

 

Being Normal with a dose of optimism;

6 - Curtin

11 - Wilson or Windsor

 

Being abnormal based on North wanting talls and being sure they'll get a suitable one at 6 and maybe also at 11, and taking Duursma with pick 2 because they need firepower more than more midfielders and we'll only do the deal if McKercher is available at 3...

3 - McKercher

18 - Will Green

I think it'll be

6 - Curtin

11 - Windsor

 

I'm hoping for 

6- Sanders

11 - O'Sullivan

Could have the Magician and the Wizard both on the list 

That could lead to some  ... checks and re-checks spelling ... cunning stunts.

I think so too. Thought I read somewhere North no longer considering pick 1? WC need multiple picks to speed up their rebuild, Reid a go home risk for them. Same goes for North, need multiple players for their rebuild. We've seen Pies and Lions get high end talent in recent seasons slot straight in and made a difference with Daicos and Ashcroft and if Reid is as good as he's made out to be why not go all out for him? Anyway, I have faith in the MFC to maximise whatever picks we take to the draft.

Koltyn Tholstrup because Koltyn Tholstrup.

Sounds like a character in a Kurt Vonnegut novel. 😁

 

Beatson from Sydney did allude to trading 12 to North for 17 & 18 being in the works, and it seemed predicated upon North finally giving up on pick 1.

We trade pick 6 to Hawks for pick 4 and our first round pick in 2024. We then trade pick 4 and 11 to WCE for pick 1 and take Reid :-)


Reid or Duursma following trade-up,

or Curtain, Sanders, Leake at 6

then

Windsor, Leake, O'Sullivan, Caddy, K-Thol at 11

then

Simpson at 42

Clearly, I have NFI but not too many players in the top ten-ish that I would be unhappy with.

Curtin and Wilson is gut feel. 

death riding the eagles would be fun (but nerve racking) so a future first would be tempting but I’d rather the security of curtin for a decade. Wilson is the slide with it being a coin toss with Tholstrop. Wilson will get some great structural learnings from nibbler and Langdon about how Melbourne will want to use his run.
 If Watson and/or Leake slide to our respective picks I’ll be very excited for next year. 

 

Bit late to the party
McKercher and Tholstrup  if we trade with Hawks. 
Curtin and Tholstrup if we don’t. 
given the quality available at our picks I’m going to be happy with whoever JT picks. 

1. WC - Reid

2. GC - Walter (bid matched)

3. Nth - McKercher

4. Nth - Curtin (first surprise)

 

dees trade pick 7 and f1st with hawks for pick 5

 

5. Dees - Duursma

6. Wb - Sanders

7. Hawks - Watson

8. GC - Read (bid matched)

9. GWS - Windsor

 

Adelaide trade 12 and 22 for Geelongs pick 10 and change

 

10. Ade - O'Sullivan

11. Ess - Caddy

12. Gee - Leake

13. Mel - Tholstrup

  • 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.
