Yep. Hotton going to be a jet

I reckon it would have been a toss up between Lindsay and Hotton

Really interesting that both our draft picks so far are great kicks. With Windsor last year, it seems our "best available" philosophy comes with a qualification about good foot skills. 

love it, Travis Johnston and Aaron Davey would carve teams up with with the rest of the squad we have to put around them.

Good kicking never goes out of style.

 

The two key forward touted for first round don’t get taken tonight… there’s the evidence for the flat-earthers that the time of the KPP is coming to an end!

Ha, my wife thought it was weird seeing some of the young boys drinking at the draft.  Not he AFL squeaky image  :) 

how strange. 18 year olds can drink any time

I guess when you get older the kids seem younger!

It's gotta be paired with an ability to win contest though, and the club obviously believes that's the case with Lindsay, just as it is the case with Windsor.

I need to learn stay off the MFC social media pages, reading supporter comments. NFI.

 

 

Saints going with 2 defenders at 8&9 is interesting 

But they have always been poor down back so I think it will pay off

What was the trade Port did with West Coast?

I'm assuming fans are asking why we didn't select 2 key forwards?

It’s a wing/mid and CHF if they want it to be though.

At AFL level Travaglia really profiles as a big midfielder and Lindsay a half back, despite them playing the opposite roles now.

You assume correctly

”we don’t need more midfielders”

Maybe 2025 is finally the year Hoges goes back to defence, gotta find room for the Pheonix..

Port gave up 16 and 45 for West Coast pick 15 based on what was displayed on the fox telecast. 

It doesn't make sense to me. Port give away pick 45 for nothing unless they knew west coast were going to take Berry which seemed unlikely with Bo Allan on the board.

My thoughts as well. I am surprised that Allan dropped a bit.

I do hope that we are keeping in touch with the ones that were interested in before the draft. Dropping players like Tauru, Hotton, Smith, Faull, Hynes and Armstrong an email or call to congratulate them and let them know were will be watching their development with interest.

It amazes me how posters on here claim to be ‘experts’ on the draft picks. Did you all attend junior footy matches galore???? Have we picked another Toumpas, Cale Morton or Gysberts? You wouldn’t have a clue. 


Wtf north traded there future first for pick 27 total insanity, by that logic we would have got it for one of the 2nd round picks we gave Essendon

I think it’s more the case Freo were going to trade for the pick and take berry so port had to out bid them 

 

I really wish we were able to hang to pick 28 as part of the Bombers pick 9 trade. There's plenty of good talent left on the board including Shanahan and Whitlock.

On the plus side, cheers Essendon for pick 9 (11)! Xavier Lindsay looks a player!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
