    I’d be super happy with an outcome of Tauru & Allan. Tauru has absolute A+ potential, his rate of development in the back half of the year has been rapid and there’s nothing he can’t do athletically, personally I think he can actually be a 50+ goal a year forward and would perfectly compliment our other forwards. Happy to overlook Draper at 5 for him, I don’t think Draper’s cieling is an A-grade mid due to his scrappy skills, he’s definitely more of a sure thing but cieling doesn’t compare to Tauru. Allan is actually a pretty similar player to Draper except he’s 10 cms taller and can play half back very well. Both Allan & Tauru could easily play R1 next year with their athleticism & competitiveness two of their strongest strengths.

    Fox Footy Phantom Draft

    This has us taking Taura at pick 5 and Allan at pick 9.

    So what’s the intel this morning Dazzle?  Can’t wait for Wednesday, the suspense is killing me!

    I'm still waiting for Cal's phantom. 

    Tauru at 5 is a devastating result. 

    Unless he turns out to be a gun.

    Do you really think JT would take him at 5 if he does not believe he will be a gun.

    His record drafting talls isn't great. I'll just leave it at that.

    Will Allan get to us @ ND9?

    Reckon Freo or Eagles will go all out for Saints ND8!  Freo need his type and WCE need anyone who is reasonably good!!

    Both have goodies to offer this year and future picks especially Eagles with 2025 picks of 2*1st and 2*2nd etc.  While it wouldn't affect WCE decisions they took a lot of heat trading out pick 3 and risk missing out on him.

    Imagine WC trading out of pick 3 and then selling the farm to get back in at 8😂

    I have seen it reported that Allan is very similar player to Ginbey at WC so they may not be keen to double up. 
    Also Freo will want to hold onto future draft picks to have a crack at Chad Warner next year.

    We’ve been linked to all of Lalor, FOS, Jagga and Langford so if all four are picked before our pick perhaps it is Tauru’s name that is next on our board. It’s rumoured we’re not particularly interested in Draper.

    Really hope North pick Tauru though so we do end up with one of FOS/Jagga/Langford at our first pick. Lalor pretty much guaranteed to go at pick 1.

    Gettable has just started. There may be a bit of a wait for Cals phantom.

    Cal says it’s out of Langford or Tauru for us (unless Lalor or O’Sullivan get through if the first few go a different way).

    Cal doesn’t seem to think we have much interest in Draper. Says will likely pick which one of Langford or Tauru is available.

    I may have misheard, didn’t he say he doesn’t expect Tauru to get through to us?

    Interesting that when Cal was quizzed this morning on which key forward would be picked first, he said that Richmond are most likely to consider Armstrong at pick 10. No mention of us at pick 9.

    I'd be least happy If Tauru is the one that is still available out of him Langford, FOS and Lalor but not surprised. 

    Certainly a swing for the fence selection if we take him at 5.

    Should stick Tauru up forward

    I can cope with Tauru because we really do need a Macdonald replacement. 

    Hoisted by my own petard. The fake rumour I put out on bigfooty has come to fruition. Curse these powerful fingers!

    It won’t offend me Dazz, good idea to keep it from other clubs though, good thinking. 
    Happy wit what you’ve heard?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
