It's not outside the question that the Eagles take him at pick 2 behind Duursma. I think my concern is we'd probably have to give up 3 first rounders to even get into the conversation and then it's a lot of pressure on him to deliver.

I think it was a possibility until the Ruck rules changed, can’t see they not taking CDT now with one of those picks

How do you think the ruck rules help CDT?

I actually think if anything they slightly hurt him. Slightly fewer boundary throws in around the ground probably doesn’t mean much either way. The not crossing the centre line might help a young ruck who can jump early in their career but medium/long term it just increases injury risk, and at 200cm without a great leap he probably ends up as a push and shove ruck more than a jumper.

He’s athletic and has a good tank which will see him have greater impact around the ground and also has the ability to follow up with second efforts sees a potential Luke Jackson down the track with better foot skills at this stage. Taking away the opposing ruckman just stepping across the line and outbodying him I will no longer be an issue it possibly was

@Turner I agree. If the Eagles think CDT is a huge risk, then Robey could be the #2 active pick in the draft. Unbelievable. For a youngster who wasn’t even playing Coates League until halfway through 2025. Meteoric rise !! He is a young gun who has all the AFL tools to succeed. Though CDT does meet the Eagles needs for a young agile mobile skilled development ruck, so will be an interesting choice for WCE to make.

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.

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?

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
