Carltank will win more than 5. They will beat us twice, and will rack up wins against sub par teams like freo. Tiggies and Blues also have to play each other, so that always helps.

Tigers are 2-2, and have not played us.

My money is on the tiges and blues winning 5 or more games. Tiges will romp it in. On current form we will get pick 1 unless Port tanks against us. I also think we will get a priority.

So that means 3 top 20 picks again.

Lets hope we use them wisely.

An earlier post alluded to the new teams soaking up the good picks so that makes it all the more important to pick well. No trading out picks - just using them on kids.

Id say we will go into the draft with picks 1, 17 and 18

Trade Bruce for a pick in the 10-20 range, and perhaps a Brock Mclean for a pick in the 7-10 range

That would give us 5 picks in the first 18. Great way to set us up for the future

I'll bet you anything you like, Money, women, my nextdoor neighbors property, anything , that Carltank won't beat us more than once this H&A season. <_<

Melbourne should have won 8-9 games last year with the amount of 1-10 pt losses we had. What about when we lost to the bulldogs when we were leading and had just kicked a goal with 30 second to go. How about against north when we had the ball in our hands with 30 seconds to go and leading.

If anything, it wouldv been unfair if we had gotten the priority pick and we didn't deserve it

I think our biggest threat are the Bombers. They arent much chop.

They've got 2 wins already and can play good enough football to win 3 more. No way they'll do that badly. I reckon Freo might do much worse than them.

That may be true sylvinator, but the fact is you have to take your opportunities. From the heartache, something good could have come and that would have been an extra pick in the top 20 last year and a potential pick 1 and 2 this year instead of a potential 1 and 17.

We stuffed it up by appointing Riley. He wanted to win games and that's fair enough, he wanted to push his name forward as a senior coach. But if we appointed someone who we knew would be at the club next year and would agree to playing a young inexperienced side, then we probably wouldn't have knocked off the Doggies, leaving us with 4 wins. Riley played his best possible side. Which other club would do that in such a situation? None.

You think we're that good a team then, that now we can do without our 1st pick from last year?

"On demonland.com, "Yze Magic" wrote: "As we finished on five wins, we have now been robbed of picking 1 and 2 in this year's draft . . . how tragic is this?

"Well, if you have seen Nicholas Naitanui and Daniel Rich play, then you will see how much we could have gained with just two draft selections.

"Why oh why, or more importantly, how in God's name did we thrash the Dogs so late in the season when we were in such poor form?

"And forget the Carlton game in Round 22, we were never gonna lose that."

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
