    Carlton is a very interesting one.  They've paid a decent price to trade up to 3, I wonder if that is for someone specific or they were just generally impressed with the quality of the top echelon and wanted to get access.

    IMO their greatest list need is a class small forward, it seems Kako is the pick but he's unavailable, Joe Berry would probably have been available right around their original first rounder. It's all the more interesting since they got rid of Owies, Martin and Durdin in the trade period.

    It will be fascination to see who they go for.

    Maybe @No. 31 can offer some insight?

    Richmond have played this very very well.  The silence out of the Tigers has been deafening. No leaks whatsoever and everyone is still guessing what they will do at 1.   

    I've got a feeling they are going Jagga Smith at 1.  I don't know why, but I think that will happen.  It will be very interesting what happens from here.

    Geelong eyes move for South Australian ruck prospect Alex Dodson at national draft

    Four years after trading up to draft best-and-fairest winner Max Holmes, Geelong is eyeing another big move with its eye on one of the most highly-rated athletes in the current draft pool.

    Can’t remember a draft with so many uncertainties this late in the day. Clearly a LOT of pick swaps hanging, where we won’t know outcomes till we’re into the thick of it on draft night.

    I don't know if Dodson is any good but an apprentice ruckman would be good timing.

    Hola old55, yes an interesting draft play by the Blues, was a surprise and well executed.

    I think it is because the top 5-6 in these year's reputedly deep draft are all highly regarded so it is hoped you can't go wrong and you will pick up a future star. Only time will tell though. 

    Am liking this approach compared to Collingwood who are going all out on trade veterans ... a cliff fall is coming ...

    I think Finn O'Sullivan has a bit of X factor about him and in terms of a very well rounded mid that is ready to go straight away, that would be Sid Draper, the highest rated South Australian (that the Adelaide Crows are keen on).

    BTW, the Durdin we delisted was tall backup defender Sam Durdin. We still have the small forward, Corey Durdin (they are cousins apparently). In terms of small forwards, we will persist with Motlop & Durdin (both had season heavily disrupted with injury), the Zac Williams experiment and Fantasia as depth.

    Also youngster Ashton Moir will probably replace Jack Martin as a third hybrid forward on occasions (and we may see Elijah Holland in that role sometimes as well). Moir only came on as a last quarter substitute twice in the tail end of the season but showed a real instinctive nose to kick two quality goals. He was once touted as a top 3 draft pick but injury derailed him in his last junior year. Lets see what he can do with another full pre-season in him.

    The Blues will also be picking up the Camporeale Twins as father-son pick ups and will still have pick 38 as well. So looking forward to an injection of young talent hopefully.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
