Maybe a simple polite decline to be interviewed? Who would have thought hey slart? Half surprised you couldn't think of that all up by yourself. We've copped enough [censored] from the media this year so we owe them nothing. Player's aren't forced to give interviews and nor should we oblige too.

I think GWS really like Leake from the reports I've read and he's certainly in contention according to their list manager.

Enjoy the races, ignore the media and don't give them the time of the day. Simple.

I reckon even if he was available, our preference would be Duursma.

Okay Max. Less words and more actions thanks. We've been hearing too much words for the past two years.

No, you are.

From Fox Footy Melbourne (Pick 6) and Geelong (Pick 8) will also consider Curtin should he slip to the latter stages of the top 10. But both clubs are also keen on Sanders.

He's more ANB then Hibberd..

Think you're completely missing his point here.

That's not how it works.. He didn't attend because he missed his flight.

Heard he's a massive flight risk.

Adelaide are the club showing most interest to Darcy Wilson and could grab him at pick 10.

At this stage yes. But all depends whether they want to take the extra senior spot or just use it as a rookie.

You know, it's okay for people in life to not agree or support everything this club does. It's what makes the general AFL supporter base unique when there are different opinions and ideas that are different to the clubs decision making. The footy club don't get it right either. You are in no position to tell others how we should or shouldn't support decisions made by the footy club. That can be left up to the individual thanks.

So then move him into a development specialist role undertaking the women's and men's program full time. No one is saying to completely toss Brown off to the side as his role within the women's program is vital for their development. But I can understand @Wizard of Kozpoint of view from a list management perspective. His body is absolutely cooked and hasn't played a full 22 game season since 2019. His body has slowly been on the decline since and there is a level of frustration that each year he's missing games with knee injuries time after time when our forward line has been at its vulnerable. I love Benny B and what he's done for this club off field. But to be honest I'd rather have a developing tall or the extra list spot for a fit and healthy kid who can just develope away then a guy that really is injury prone and missing games through the same injury he's battled throughout his AFL career. If we can find him a full time off field role in any capacity then that's a huge win for us.

Why on earth would you use pick 3 on Caddy? He's not even a top 5 talent.

13. Caleb Windsor Melbourne Eastern Ranges, 184cm Midfielder The mail is that Melbourne is just about set on selecting Windsor with its second selection here. The Eastern Ranges product is another player to have shot up draft boards in the second half of the season, even more so after a strong showing at the national draft combine. The wingman had a big under-18 national championships with Vic Metro and is seen as a player with real weapons with his speed, foot skills and decision making. He is a modern-day wingman who most clubs would love to have.

10. Nate Caddy Geelong Northern Knights, 193cm Forward The Cats have also been linked to hard-running wingman Darcy Wilson, but marking forward Caddy would be hard to pass up if he’s still on the board. Melbourne also has interest in Caddy, but if it takes Leake then there’s every chance Caddy gets through to the Cats. Given Geelong’s ageing key forward stocks – Jeremy Cameron is 30 and Tom Hawkins is 35 – it makes sense to bring in some new blood. Recruiters believe Caddy has the potential to be a Charlie Curnow-type in time given his aerial abilities, power and strength.

I've jumped on board the band wagon of picking him at 6. The more I watch of him the more I see Nat Fyfe similarities. I am no way saying his career will pan out the same way but his freak athletic attributes and strong aerial ability will be hard to match up on. Then taking into account that he's ability to have significant impact in all 3 lines of the ground being back, mid and forward. Very rarely you see junior talent being able to do this at this level.

Can someone post summary of Melbourne's picks?

It'll be a matter of time before he is snapped up in the AFLM environment. Whoever does that will be incredibly lucky to be get such a valuable asset into their environment.

No to picking up WC plodders and rejects thanks. Clearly don't have the list spots for any delisted free agents.
