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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
