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.

    What a joke!!@@

    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?

    • 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.
