    30 right now. Carlton and West Coast have picks that might get chewed up but most academy bids now will push it back. Probably ends up 33-35

    No.... you haven't, but I'm sure Rivers, Sparrow and an ageing Viney will do the job!☠️

    yes, those two midfielders led us to 14th two years in a row

    they weren't part of the solution moving forward

    steele brings experience to accompany viney, while the likes of pickett, rivers, windsor, tholstrup, langford, lindsay, etc. are the future

    Understand & nothing against the boys they picked who both look good

    The media get so much wrong.

    Yes, I’m quietly enjoying how so many so called draft “experts” have been so inaccurate with this years edition.

    Also like that not many picked us to take LSP at 12, so at least we have stopped some leaking as well.

    I also hope Latrelle wasn’t picked partially to keep Kozzie.

    Does it matter if he was, at least in part? Both will benefit, and as such, the club will benefit.

    I suspect it's because of the evenness of the draftees after the first couple and outside of the Academy and F/S picks. And given that evenness, that clubs are drafting for need.

    Hawks traded 9 for 10 and 22 in trade week.

    Trade 10 back with GWS for a future 2nd. Traded it again with WC for another future 2nd.

    Traded a future 3rd to slide their second pick up.

    I reckon that’s incredible manipulation of the draft.

    They’ll end up with Nairn, Schubert, 2 figure seconds in a much better draft. We’ve got Latrelle.

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

    What are those needs?

    Are there better midfield options next year?

    Will there be better small fwd options next year?

    Who are our current small fwd options considering we need Kosi on ball? Who brings that fwd half pressure?

    Hard to cover all needs but we just don’t seem draft key fwds that ever work out

    Is there some curious chemistry between Cal and Nat? Bit of bantar, almost awkward hostility between them...anyone else notice this? Do they not like each other?? Cal is a bit of a strange duck...the more important issues of draft night!

    Nat looked like she should be asking us to pick from the round, square or arched window.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
