Haven't seen us take a bolter like that since Clayton Oliver.

Touching wood, shedding a tear for not getting Curtin who has been my stable draft-crush all along.

I'm devastated we didn't look at Curtin

    Wow that seems like a real surprise. I feel like Curtin or O’Sullivan made the most sense, trust the guys who get paid the big bucks I guess

    Of course we looked at him.  We decided that Windsor was better.

    Have some faith in our recruiting staff FFS.

    Clearly he and his family are ecstatic about coming to the Dees. Daniel Curtin on the other hand, not so enthusiastic about going to the crows, 😆

    Ahhh no I find that difficult we have 3 or 4 at Casey who won't realise their draft selections in my view

    By the look of it, WC wasn't that interested in Curtin either. Certainly not for their F1.

    Serious Toumpas/Weideman vibes with this pick. Not impressed.

    Thrilled we didn't jump for Curtain

    Windsor our most uncontested pick since Toumpas. Let's hope history doesn't repeat.

    Imagine being drafted to Essendon and on fox footy they just compared him to Jake stringer.

    He might push Jake out of the team.

    Can anyone explain why we couldn't pick Mac Andrew as a Melbourne academy player last year, when gold coast are allowed to pick 2 academy players in the top 10 this year?

    • 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.
