    No that would be our next pick Tholstrup. Windsor will help with speed of ball movement, connection and most importantly efficiency between our mids and forwards which has been an issue for years and is a big reason why we have gone out in straight sets in final’s two years on a row. Can also score a goal himself. Also provides a lot of chase down tackles which would indicate a competitive nature. Our team is all inside and not much outside., let alone guys that can hit a target by foot.Glad we have addressed this personally getting in Billings and now Windsor. Welcome to the club Caleb.

    Josh Kelly anyone?

    Oliver wasn't expected to be a high pick either. GWS must have rated Curtin so high that they literally traded out to get away from him.

    Windsor was best player available, If we went needs we would've gone a key forward or key back.

    GWS would've taken Windsor after us. He was highly rated.

    From the outside its impossible to tell who is a reach or not. 

    A lot of people had Curtain as a top 5 pick, Leake as a top 10 pick, Darcy WIlson as a borderline top 10 pick.  No one had Gothard as low as 10.  Tholstrop similarly was considered in the mid teens.  

    It looks like Windsor, Gothard and Tholstrop were higher up clubs' draft boards than expected. And not just by Melbourne - sounds like if we hadn't picked Windsor, GWS would have at 8, or somone in that 9-12 range.  Same with Tholstrop - was apparently in the mix at Essendon's pick and would have been taken by St Kilda after us.  Gothard too had interest from St Kilda, Sydney and GWS.

    Is it just me or is there a hint of the great man himself R Flower.

    Obviously, a big call but the way he handballs and moves reminds me of a young Robbie. We can only dream.

    At the end of the day when you have someone like JT calling the shots you back him in with any 'reach' picks.

    No such thing as a reach, just means media has gotten their previous draft expectations wrong

    Don't know why but thought the same.

    Seems to have a nice low ball drop which is often a sign of good kickers.

    Tracc could learn something!

    In his highlights the two left-handed handballs in traffic are almost exactly the way Robbie handballed - we can dream

    We have gone totally for needs. We have some talls and Jefferson to add in time.

    Windsor brings us a total outside running machine on the Lingers style up and back but is more highly skilled and will kick more goals.

    Kolt is an X factor half forward and potential mid who will excite fans and annoy and embarrass the opposition. Total fan favourite with a swagger and style. Let the MCC members get out of their seats once this dynamo gets among the big boys on the G. 

    Both are 185cm plus but seem taller in their highlights. Neither will take a backward step it looks like from their tapes either. 

    Bring them on as excitement machines to end our mundane forward thrusts. 

    Well done again JT.

    Thought exactly the same thing. Both hold the ball well in front of them when handballing with their left. And both seem to glide across the ground.

    Looks to have a nice turn of speed and smart delivery but I don't think he's got enough class to warrant being selected in the top 10. 

    Depends what you call class and Caleb’s got it. Smooth running long kick goal scoring and great link man on the wing. 
    I’ll back JT’s judgement against yours Danny any day or night at the G!

    Exactly Oliver and Jackson where reaches at the time. We have one of the best in the business leading a team following these kids from around 14 for 3 years . They know way more about them than any pundit on the radio or tv or forum

    I would say every poster on here would back JT over any other poster. 
    We can still all have opinions and be civil about it. No need to be shoot down other posters for the sake of it. 
    By the way every form guide that was published during the season agreed with Danny.

    So in summary we drafted clones Robbie Flower and Allen Jacovich?

    that’ll do

    So would I! He's a gun recruiter.

    I just saw the new highlights package on melbournefc.com.au in which he looked stronger in the contest than the reel I saw prior on AFL.com.au.

    We have seen how important the wing position is in modern footy, particularly on the MCG. He looks to be a very skilful and speedy wingman with a big leap.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
