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'm hoping for 

    6- Sanders

    11 - O'Sullivan

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
