I think we will get Reid.

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
