Thankyou CAC and recruiting team

Just like to personally thank CAC and his team and all the individuals in other states who put in the hard work to get the job done over the past year and on draft day. The pressure and demand of the job requires a lot of hard yards, sleepless nights and tough decision when you look at the resources that the other power clubs have here in Victoria and in other states.

I am stoked at the players that Craig and his team have delivered and to you and you team Craig I whole-heartedly thankyou for your committed efforts at ensuring the success of this great football club.

    good job CAC...i can officially say that what ever happens to any of these players is now into the hands of the developmental staff and coaching staff and that you will not be blamed if one or two of these players are not success stories because you followed the best player available principle succesfully

    Sorry for seeming to pick on you, but that's rubbish.

    We'll know if it's a good selection in 1-4 years, and you can't "officially" say anything. CAC hopes and thinks they were the best available, and they may be, but if they're not he's accountable.

    Stop the child like worshipping and obsequious comments.

    Unless this thread is congratulating the 2004 or 2005 draft, we got some problems...

    Morton, Grimes, and Maric are just names and potential at the moment. I'm guessing the effusive praise is coming from the outside opinions of our picks. You cannot determine the performance of CAC based on the opinion of the greater football community (Connors, WB recruiting bloke, Andrew Maher etc).

    BTW I will always defend CAC but seriously...

    no no I'm always open for criticism lol...what i was trying to say, and yes i am getting a little excited, is that i think that at THIS stage in time, melbourne has done very well and from what i know (which cant be expert compared to ppl in the AFL) i thought that he picked the best players available (looking at the matches i have seen and the footage i have watched) and i think however with the potential that some of these players have, it is now in the hands of the developmental staff and i am looking forward to see what they can achieve...i would also like to say that if one or two of these players are not succesful AFL players, it doesnt always mean bad picks, but the club may not have done them well...that is what i was trying to say if i am not making sense, tell me

    You're not making sense, but hey it's all looking a bit moot anyway...

    lol..sorry to make a bad post even worse but i am trying to say that i think it up to the coaching staff to turn players into good AFL players, and if say mcnamara and jack grimes for instance, turn out to be absolute poo, i will not just blame CAC, but i will blame the coaching staff aswell...because i think CAC drafted well this year

    anyway, hes about to leave us

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
