Spot on.

I see too much of Jayden Hunt in Travaglia. Which isn't a bad thing because he's carved out a solid career himself. Blazes away far too often when he gets on a run off half back and usually comes back the other way.

Smith is an absolute jet, I'm still scratching my head how he's not in top 2 discussions. If he slides to our pick and we select him, that's a steal in my eyes. Him and Langford are a win for us either way.

Glad someone else sees the same in what I see in Allan. I reckon his potential is enormous. He's got the athletic and physical profile to play round 1, but also potential to slide into the midfield in a year or two and play a similar style to Elliot Yeo. 

Smith/Langford along with Allan would be a huge draft win for us.

It’s interesting comparing Travaglia to Hunt because Travaglia doesn’t have Hunt’s top end speed either. He ran a 3:19 20m sprint compared to Langford 3:24 which everyone freaked out about him being slow.

 

I keep going back to that interview Oliver did just before trade period.  They mentioned Patrick Cripps and Oliver's comments about him just being too big and powerful to stop have really stuck with me.  It also reminds me of something one of the St Kilda mids said about Melbourne in '20 or 21, that our players were so much more powerful, they basically ignored attempts to tackle them.  That's why I really want us to bring in Smillie.  The thought of having that midfield titan who is just overpowering for opponents is so tempting.  Someone the size of Cripps but with better speed and kicking?  Lets grab him and get him in the gym to start adding muscle.

The player you're really looking for is Bo Allan. Smilie is big, but contest isn't really his go IMV.

 

Pick 5 . Langford, Jagga , Lalor ( In order of availability)

Pick 9. Bo Allan 

Pick 79. Suds McDuff or Derek Smalls

I'd prefer Tufnel at 79

Bo Allen @ 9

 

Hopefully he wins the Rising Star next year then its straight swap for Harley Reid.

They’re already eyeing another one of our talented WA kids who is out of contract at the end of 25’ 😂

Melbourne won’t want to either. Lots of talk that he’ll get offered a contract like Roo until 2029 from us. But there’s big offers from WA. Hopefully he’s locked in soon.

Hope they hurry up!

I believe we have a bit of sal cap space so should be able to match a WCE offer.  If its family bring them over from time to time and vice versa.

Pick 5 - Unlike our resident expert, Deespencer, and some others, I do like Jagga Smith.  For me his footy IQ with his positioning, as well as his reflexes, is insane.  Racking up the disposals, as he does, is incredibly underrated.  My eyes tell me he has really good initial pace, although I know our expert doesn't see it.  And I love his fast feet and sidesteps.  Remember, he's only 18.  What will good coaching and a few years of preseason weights turn him into.  Smith has innately what can't be taught and what most don't have. 

 

Is this the same Deespencer that hasn't seen one under age game live this season???

At least they linked us to Hynes and Allan at 9… r-right? 

McGowan the only who's been running with our interest on Hynes.

Doesn't get s mention anywhere else.

Very curious as Hynes to me looks very much a JT pick and I’m surprised he’s not rated higher in all of the power rankings 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we did end up taking him at 9 and he’s the first real bolter of the night 

McGowan with the inside word perhaps?

JAGGER SMITH going to Adelaide with pick 4 is my mail😵‍💫🤯🤮

If thats the case it hasn't got to Twomey yet. He didn't mention him today as an option for Melbourne in the latest 'Gettible' update on the AFL website.

Woops sorry video was posted Wednesday. I only just saw it pop up on my phone.

Please ignore. Apologies.

I also meant Twomey didn't* mention Hotton as a Melbourne option in the latest video.

Lalor is the obvious gun player for #1, then it’s a lottery. I think Draper goes to Blues or Crows. Both would be quickly snapped by Dees if available but I think it’s unlikely. 

‪In order of preference ‬
At “5”‪… Langford or FOS or Smith 
At “9”…‪Travaglia or Allan or Lindsay 


‪Mids mids mids ‬


‪whilst I think Armstrong or Tauru ‬will be good players, imv Dees need to use this prime picks to start to rebuild for next generation elite midfield‬.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • 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.
