They just had a quick interview with CAC on the radio - points discussed were that he was very happy to get Cale Morton with pick 4, and the top 4 selections this year are all very good.

Jack Grimes - happy with the decision, great leadership, good runner, and a very versatile player , who he'd like to see enter the midfield eventually. Also a mad Melbourne supporter.

Addam Maric was chosen as he's got a great eye for the goals, and has been able to isolate himself in the goalsquare in junior level - looking for a smart player around the stoppages inside 50.

Kyle Cheney - a strong overhead defender who is as tough as nails, happy with this pick, and finally Tom Mcnamara - tall defender, with good leg speed and strong overhead.

The long pause before passing on pick 73 was caused not necessarily because of Sampi, but because they were considering some u17 players they can't draft in the PSD.

Also mentioned we have selected four AIS graduate players.

    Am I missing something or did Gourdis and Gaertner NOT get selected in the draft?

    i'm very happy with all those picks.

    every one of the guyz we selected were predicted to be selected higher, so we should be stoked.

    Rance was available at 14 and ended up at 18, so we didn't pick him...but i think we wouldv been silly not to pick up Grimes having slipped to 14.

    Grimes is a safe bet to become a quality afl player. Great work ethic, great at the 1%ers and elite endurance! best of all, great leader and demons supporter.

    we have really got some quality in the midfield now. we still need to add to our key position stocks tho...

    in the rookie draft i think we should definitely look at Gourdis, Geartner or Kangers...these players are most athletes than footballers at this stage, but with development could become great KPP

    it seems we have used the production versus potential theory. Of the main players we picked they have produced on the feild, rather than they have the potential to be a great player. I love the fact that we have done this. Footballers before athletes...

    We've picked footballers first and foremost, rather than speculative athletes.

    Can someone confirm how many rookie selections we have?

    Very surprised about Gourdis not getting drafted.

    What's the rookie draft order? is there one, or? Coz i wouldn't mind getting him rookied

    The rookie draft order is the same as the preseason draft - so richmond, carlton, us, WB, essendon and so on.

    id be expecting a ruckman in the rookie draft- Bellchambers perhaps. is a great tap ruckman so hopefully he can improve around the ground.

    with White retiring in the next year or two, Jamar [censored], PJ only a backup ruck and Meesan untried, we need to unearth a ruckman.

    i'd also be looking at Kangars or Gaertner. true both are shocking kicks, but incredible athletes.

    teach them to play and they could be steals. i see Geartner as a tom Williams type...

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
