Priority pick

Do we get priority picks if we finish bottom 3? People are telling me the rules have changed, and that a team needs to put 2 crap seasons together before getting top picks. Anyone know the official word on this?

    Less than 18 premiership points and we get a pick AFTER the first round...

    Do that again next year and we get one BEFORE the first round in the next draft.

    Do not want to do it two years in a row though.

    Next week Neita, TJ and Bell probably will be out. Hun says we may organise surgery ending seasons for 2 or 3 players.

    IMO best to do this now and get list right for next year. Play Dunn, Garland and Miller next week. Give the young players some game time in prep for next season.

    In the meantime we should get a gun from our top draft pick this year.

    Can't see it happening next year too.

    While it would hurt, I wouldn't be too unhappy with us only winning two more games I suppose <_<

    time to give Miller one last shot in the forward role , make or break time for him

    Without really wanting to go over old ground.. Juice showed more acumen with the pill towards goal and delivering to other forwards in one game than frosty has showed in all of his !!.

    who are you suggesting to Bring Miller in for ?

    exactly right. I'd be happy to get any draft pick for miller. Newton achieved more disposals than millers career average in his first game! not to mention a goal. This is not saying that it was a great debut but how bad miller is in finding the footy.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
