Werribee, you don't seem to rate Brownlows. Anyway....

What I think is interesting how often top ten selections don't realise their potential and then go to another club ..... and don't realise their potential. Yep, some of these players had their careers cruelled by injury and the occasional ones like Dom Tyson and Tomlinson look they've now made it BUT not permanently. And I'd say we picked 7 of these second-chancers. Apart from maybe Tyson the "sell high, buy low" strategy of redeeming these high-draft underperformers just doesn't work (,maybe)

Edited by Go Ds

There is no world where Jack Viney is a better player than Lachie Whitfield.

2012 draft had some fair failures in the too 10.

Same goes for Harry Himmelberg over Jacob Weitering, that is crazy talk

Good effort to have a go though

weitering very stiff here, worse than himmelberg and hipwood is laughable, probably better than mckay too

Weitering would be my #1 in the draft, ahead of Oliver then Dawson

The last couple of seasons may have lowered Claz’s colours, but his career before that was extraordinary

What about Clarry below McKay.

Even Curnow struggled with injuries.

Did the Dees bid on Mills? I think we thought he was a slight chance. But the AFL and the Swans knew his talent

Viney over Whitfield. 😂


Okay I’ll bite too. Got you on ignore because of your guesses of teams coming out (sometimes educated but often missing key information) but off season stuff I can engage.

Jack Macrae was winning AA blazers for fun and was the best ball winner in the comp there for a couple years. Banged up now and lost the pace but he has had a gun career. An insult to have him dropping in the draft.

Just going to add a bit of a pre-season and rookie draft supplement because a few solid names have been left out.

2010

Bachaer Houli, Michael Hibberd, Luke Dalhouse, Jasson Johhannnissen, Jeremy McGovern

2011

Sam Frost, Rory Laird, Jack Crisp, Mark Blicavs, Harry Cunningham, Jaeger O'meara (mini)

2012

Dane Rampe, Jack Martin (mini), Jesse Hogan (mini)

2013

James Harmes, Charlie Cameron,

2014

Jack Sinclair, Jayden Short, Adam Saad, Jason Castagna, Nic Newman,

2015

Tom Papley, Dan Houston

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
