    That surprises and excites me. It sounds like Kozzie was going heavy on speaking him up and it has worked. Some serious talent, mature body, and our outstanding Indigenous program under Matty Whelan will be in full swing.

    Not sure about taking Pickett where we did, but obviously we wanted him and knew he wouldn’t be available in a few picks time.

    if it keeps Kozzie in the R&B for the rest of his career, then it’s shrewd drafting

    We had to replenish our Pickett stock after trading one out to GWS in the Clarry Package.

    Loved every bit of that few minutes after Pickett’s name got called. Kid was trembling and did well to get the words out.

    These are great stories, good luck to both draftees.

    I remember when we draft kozzie people said it's too high for a small forward. he only averages 9 touches a game etc... look at him now.

    Happy to trust Taylor and co (but I am very surprised)

    Yes, getting quite a lot of CloudFlare commection timed out pages coming up. Not sure if that's due to traffic given interest in the draft, or residual from a global issue CloudFlare's systems had last night.

    With all respect, this was not the best choice. Hope he proves me wrong, but we had other needs.

    A tad premature to making that judgement, wouldn't you say? In JT we trust.

    Now I'm just casually monitoring in case we trade up to get Lindsay or Thredgold.

    X Taylor is a player, will need to find his role and place in the club but Kingy should sort him out.

    Latrelle is a gamble, but Kozzie didn’t do a whole lot in his draft year. No club is better placed to get the most out of him and he’s got some genuine moves - and we sure have genuine needs.

    Hmm, is it just me or are Harry Dean and X Taylor the only key position prospects taken so far (speaking at pick 17)

    Xtra is only 192cm, so even he isn't necessarly a KPD.

    Probey and Derpsma are both notably tall but not really key position types.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
