If Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves is still on the table at our pick you would have to take him I’d think, was one of the top prospects coming into this year after a great underage season just wasn’t able to get the consistency this season but the talent is hard to ignore once you get to this part of the draft.

    The Herald Sun's late mail for tonight:-

    MELBOURNE

    First night selections: Xavier Taylor (Pick 11), Latrelle Pickett (Pick 12)

    Remaining picks: 30, 56, 58

    Melbourne provided the most heartwarming story on Wednesday night when Latrelle Pickett received his Demons guernsey from his cousin Kysaiah. Demons recruiting manager Jason Taylor was just as pleased to secure gamebreaking defender Xavier Taylor, but he said he doesn't view him as a midfielder. It means the Dees may look to bolster their engine room after losing Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver during the trade period.

    Melbourne is among the clubs in the 30s who could put bidding pressure on St Kilda for NGA prospect Kye Fincher, who shone in a midfield role for Sandringham VFL. Mercurial forward Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves and ruck Marcus Krasnadamskis would also be in their thinking, while Tairon Ah-Mu is a key forward consideration later in the piece. Melbourne committed mid-year to taking 201cm developing tall Kalani White, son of Melbourne great Jeff, as a father-son prospect, and he appears unlikely to receive a national draft bid. In that scenario, the Demons could either add him as a rookie or take with their last national draft pick.

    The Demons have filled their Category B rookie allotments after selecting college basketballer Oscar Berry, but NGA graduate Toby Sinnema is expected to be a train-on player with the Dees if he isn't picked as a rookie.

    Whoever we pick will be someone who can play a couple of positions. King has stated he will not pick anyone who can only play one position…

    Im surprised some on here are complaining when he was a rated a 1st round pick anyway. I watched him a few times for Glenelg and he basically has the same attributes as his cousin without the physicality. Trust JT with this one.

    Surely we take two players tonight?

    Good call. Really hope Sam Allen gets to the Dees. He’s a Dees fanatic. That’s a boyhood dream and he’s a talented youngster who had a season ending injury so didn’t see his full talent. Saw enough in two APS games and one Chargers to see he has the ability.

    We aren't rookie-ing an inside mid, we just didn't rate the mids this year, next year might be different

    NHH, BOB, Wright maybe in the picture tomorrow

    We've been absolutely robbed on Allen but sounds like we also didn't really like him

    Hetherton, Krasnadamskis surely get picked by someone tomorrow

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
