An erratic club for an erratic player in Lukosius. It's almost too perfect.

    Tigers could very well have picks 1, 6, 9, 13, 16, 21, 22.

    They also have a plethora of later picks to target future picks and Brisbane's first rounder.

    We should have a good relationship with yze and perhaps there will be deals to be done for us there.

    I reckon the most interesting draft trade (outside of what we do) is North Melbourne with pick 2.

    Given they have spent all their high picks in past three years on mids - Phillips, Wardlaw, Sheezel, McKercher and Duursma, they now find themselves staring down taking another one, unless they can somehow trade with the Saints (picks 7 and 8 - Battle) or Freo (picks 10 and 11) and get two picks of slightly less value.

    Last year the deal would be done easily, but this year with very little between the likely top 10, both St Kilda and Freo would be reluctant to give up two picks - the Dockers will have to give one away anyway for Bolton.

    So North, who would love to get two talls rated in the 6-15 category (eg: Armstrong and Trainor) in exchange for pick 2 - are stuck with deciding whether they take Langford (tall left foot mid) or O'Sullivan (classy mid/fwd Sheezel style) unless a club makes a nice but somewhat bizarre deal with them.

    i think one of the things that is easy to forget is that afl players are afl players because, well, they grew up idolising other afl players

    as such, it makes sense that they want to go and play for the club that they supported - it's a definite advantage for the likes of the filth (perryman), meth coke (baker), and the crom (cumming)

    he's a great get for them given their age and list demographics

    Shame we could never land Pendlebury and Buddy who were reputed to be Dee’s fans when young.

    same happened for gunston at the crom, where he was the best young player winner or some such, and had the reward bestowed upon him withdrawn when he went to dingley

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
