I'm so happy we didn't split our number 9 pick as there are risks associated with it. I thought maybe St Kilda may have taken Xavier Lindsay, but relieved we remained firm and went for the best available and got an absolute ripper. I'm very excited with both of our selections and both players have instance impact like Caleb Windsor did this year. however I'm more excited about Xavier Lindsay in the long term. Already looking forward to season 2025.

I don't have any inside information but I believe the Melbourne Football Club will promote George de Crespigny to the CEO position. George is currently the Chief Commercial Officer. George has been working with the Melbourne Football Club for 11 years. George previously worked at the AFL for 8 years and the ACT Brumbies. George was a great Footballer for the University Blues Football Club.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we selected Bo Allan for our number 9 pick over Lindsay. After watching Allan on the Preliminary Final and Grand Final in the WAFL. Allan would be very much in the mix ready to play Round AFL Round 1 2025. I did mention that I had a discussion with Tim Lamb when we played against GWS on that very cold Saturday night. During half time break, I was standing next to him watching swimming Finals (Olympics) and we were talking about draft prospects and the Championship Carnival. Tim did mention to me he was very impressed with Bo Allan and spoke very highly of him having excellent leadership qualities as well. I do like Lindsay's elite kicking skills and efficiency. I believe it is very much a 50/50 between Allan and Lindsay. I believe we will be selecting 2 midfielders ready to play in the very early rounds in 2025.

Tim Lamb will be waiting for Matt Rosa on Monday at 9.00am at AFL Headquarters to sign off the paperwork. I'm sure Tim would be getting there early on Monday morning to ensure another offer comes between now and Monday morning. Anyway absolutely stoked taking picks 5 and 9 to the draft to get 2 midfielders.

Carlton are now targeting West Coast Eagles number 3 pick to snare Finn O'Sullivan, who is the cousin of Sam Walsh.

I'm at the game now and Judd McVee and sitting next to knuckles is Harley Reid. Will provide more updates after the match.

I'm tipping that Todd Patterson will be promoted replace Tim Lamb after the trade period is finished.

I'm very happy that Brad Green has come in with a hands on approach with external review of the Football Department to happen immediately. It will be interesting to see changes once the review is completed. Peter Jackson was the obvious choice to do the external review. We need a different approach this time and Darren Shand will deliver the structural changes, solutions and improvements for the future for a positive outlook for 2025.

All eyes will be on Hamish Davis this Sunday afternoon

We should be having a look at Jack Carroll from Carlton.

Fremantle can't fit in Pickett's and Bolton's salary together which is the sticking point. Fremantle would love both them. Fremantle needs a buyer to pay for Switta's contract. Switta may be pushed out to make it happen

This is devastating news. To make matters worse Fremantle bigfooty 2024 List Management Thread are already welcoming Kozzie Pickett to Fremantle. It's going to be more draft capital we got in return for Luke Jackson.

I love your optimism, insights and opinions on Demonland. I agree with you 99.9% with your opinions. However, I have a bad feeling that Adelaide are going to play hard ball with us and will offer a future 2nd round pick for Alex Neal-Bullen. Technically I believe pick 25 is the right pick to give us in return. Adelaide are going to play a game of funny buggars with this trade.

I agree with you on this. However, the Melbourne members need to fulfil their obligations of being a member and come to the games particularly for Alex Neal-Bullen's last game and saying Thank you to Ben Brown. I'm a Legends member and I pay nearly $1,300.00 and opposition supporters are sitting in our bays when it shouldn't happen.

Thank you dazzledavey36. That is a massive relief.
