WC was overselling Curtain. What's wrong with him? Have they tricked Adelaide into a mistake?

    Bugger. O'Sullivan picked by the cats two spots ahead of our next pick.

    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?

    The rules changed. We missed Mac by one year. Could not bid inside the top 20. Mac went 5. The suns have their own set of rules

    Looking for upsides;

    Not taking Curtin, and Adelaide trading up to make sure they got Curtin, suggests both clubs think Petty will be staying with Melbourne longer term.

    Windsor allegedly has speed, agility, defensive work ethic and 'the best delivery in the draft' in both skill and vision.

    If the product matches the packaging, it really will change the way we can operate.

    He also racks up more running bounces than our whole team does combined!

    What happened to our pick 11 now 13?

    Gold Coast academy players.

    For example, North bid on Walter with pick 3. Walter gets drafted at pick 3 to Gold Coast, but North still has their pick, so it pushes back to 4.

    Two academy bids so far, so our picks slide back 2 spots.

    Well we've been bumped up because of other clubs trading 

    No we haven’t. We’ve been bumped because of Academy picks.

    The GWS pick looks stoked to be playing in front of 4,000 people every second week.

    Is this 'draft night' just an open bar for a bunch of 18 year olds and their mates?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
