As a Dees supporter I'm glad we didn't give up 2 first rounders for Houston (which we would have) chasing a premiership the current senior group isn't going to win.

[@alias_EP]

Agree, much prefer two low picks in the draft off the century, theres enough talent coming through.

@@_..Justin-Case.._ honestly, no. B2B straight sets in finals were more than just injuries, another finals miss this year, the core group has had its time, if they can win one while we're rebuilding GREAT, but I'm not prepared to sell our future chances on a group that's lacked the mental fortitude to get it done in the big games 3 years in a row. With the picks we get this year we'll have just about completed the fastest rebuild in history.

[@cadelever4255]

I love that they didn’t go Houston. Our young crop of kids are super exciting. Langford could be anything and Lindsey is class. Mix them with Windsor and Jefferson coming through. I love what they have done.

[@JoshuaBallinger]

Ok not a Melbourne fan but this targeted hate for the Dees is insane so much hate from the media. It’s kinda pathetic.

[@alias_EP]

You are not wrong, be good if David Schwarz cut the negative crap out as well and keep his big mouth shut, 6 months is an eternity in football.

[@petert330]

Some of these pathetic so called sports journalists, I won’t name them but most people know who they are had Oliver, Petracca, Picket and Viney all being traded to other clubs.

[@benblanks3498]

So agree with you all. Amazing how the a section of footy media hate Melbourne. I was counting how many days there wasn’t a negative article about the dees and it wasn’t many. Morris, Twoney, McClure, Cornes etc just invent stories. ‘A source’ has told me then the lies begin. If you read Robbo he at least doesn’t report unverified stories. A real shame that the new generation of footy journos don’t have the integrity that he does. Gutter journos.

Picks 5 and 9 Demons well placed in top ten in a mega national draft. Why because of a good astute trade period. Cambell and Sharp a back up ruck insurance and some younger speed in for the midfield.

[@Josh82420]

Exactly I think getting picks 5 and 9 in any draft let alone a super draft is a big win. Surely the fact the dees still havnt gone and chased a decent forward is more the issue

I was really surprised at how valued Houston was this trade period. I understand half back flankers are important these days, but kingy was out here saying he’s playing midfield minutes now ….. 😂 he was pick 45 in the rookie draft and took something like 6 years to start playing really good footy. Getting a first rounder for him seems like a decent return! He got wraps as the best kick in the comp but he’s only the 2nd best kick off our half back (Kane farrel)

[@Power_Prawnstar]

Kane Farell, kicks long, but his accuracy is average. Dan is twice the player he is

[@TheJudge-o7]

@@Power_Prawnstar Not really, dan is bigger and a better 1v1 defender, but kane is more agile and has better acceleration off the mark. Both are A+ kicks. Kane doesn't have a right foot but he's not half the player. Dan was pick 45, developed into a double AA and pick 13 in return, good development... Lets see if Kane's pick 51 can turn into something better ... he is 2 years younger.

[@Power_Prawnstar]

@LodgicalThoughts Kane frustrates me, you watch him carefully and he really doesn't hit targets. I'm hoping Jase Burgoyne fits into Dan's role with another pre-season in the gym.

[@TheJudge-o7]

@@Power_Prawnstar Mate ... I used to think the same thing about houston then he shifted into 5th gear with his development. But i agree Jase Burgoyne or miles bergman would be great replacements if they can step up.

[@benblanks3498]

If dees have such a bad culture why is it that the only players who leave are for reasons of go home or limited opportunities? No exodus at all. Everyone seems to sign up for longer contracts every year. Footy journos are filthy they didn’t get any heads on a plate. Many were guaranteeing that Clarry and Petracca would be playing at other clubs. How did those stories go. Glad we didn’t get Houston much prefer two elite superstar kids in this superdraft.

[@jackmansfield1689]
