B&F winner: Brad Green

Season Underachiever: Jeff White

Season Overachiever: Paul Wheatley

Best First Year Player: Wona

Best Clubman: Brad Miller

Final Position: 16th

Number One pick: Watts

Delistings: Weetra, Holland.

Retiring: Neitz, Yze.

Trade: White, Bell.

This should be interesting.

Yes, Watts.

Am I missing something?

The fact that we finish last and still pick a player whom few people regard as worthy of pick no. 1.

Better? :)

I was expecting more people to give their own answers.

16th Position = Natanuai, Rich or Watts? I'll let you know my take tommorow night

Season Overacheiver - Colin Garland. After Round Two he was GONE.

Finally Arrived - Colin Sylvia. In for a huge finish to 2008

Posted

We will finish 15th with 4 wins.

Retired Neitz, Holland, Yze, White

Trade no trades unless we get a first round pick for Sylvia(doubtful)

B&F Green

Our First pick Watts or Hurley(this guy is as solid as a rock and has future leader written all over him. If you get a chance to watch him play live today you will see)

We will look to make 5-6 changes to our senior list, Aussie will be promoted, I don't think Valenti will we will retain him as a rookie. That mean with the 4 retirements we need to delist 2 more players. Front runners to be delisted Carroll and Weetra. Robbo and Jmac will be promoted to Veteran status. That gives us 5 picks, 4 in the national draft and 1 in the pre-season draft. Rookies Spencer has to be on the list another year, Valenti will be retained, Aussie promoted and I think Zomer is borderline.

B&F winner: Brad Green

Season Underachiever: Adem Yze (I expected at least something!)

Best First Year Player: Wonaeamirri

Best Clubman: Brad Miller

Final Position: 16th

Number One pick: Watts or Natanui/depends on Warnock (happy either way but will make up my mind tonight)

Delistings: Weetra, Carroll

Retiring: Neitz, Yze, Holland, White.

Trade: Bell

7 out, Wona elevated, 5 National draft picks and pre-draft pick (hopefully Warnock or Prismall....)

We may also elevate Valenti and unload someone like Bode.

Posted

Green B&F.

Garland obivously most improved.

Finish 15th with 4 wins, ahead of WC on %.

Morton to earn a rising star nomination soon after returning.

Grimes to get one too (just 'cos that is how the story goes)

Wonaeamirri to be a podium finish in Rising Star Award, but not win it.

Will trade a third round pick for Warnock.

Wonaeamirri promoted, Valenti retained as Rookie.

Neitz, Yze, Holland, White retired.

Carroll, Bode delisted.

Picks 2, 18, 20, (36 traded for Wanrock), 52, 68.

No idea on who we'll pick.

Operating loss of 'just' $500,000 as opposed to the $1-1.5mil feared.

$2mil to be cleared off debt by the 'Debt Demonilition' Event.

Neita3000's predicitions. Write these down!!!!

B & F: Brad Green

Most Improved: Brad Miller (has the confidence now and will run riot in the last 8 weeks)

Best First Year Player: Austin Wonneamiri (how did this kid slip to us in the rookie draft, would go top 10 if it was re done)

09 Captain: Brad Green (will have the honour for 2 years then Jack Grimes will be captain in 2011)

#1 pick: Depends on Warnock could be any of Rich, Watts or Natanui, (hoping for Warnock and Watts combo)

Retire: Neitz :( , Yze, Holland,

Delist: White, Carroll, Weetra

Trade: Anyone over the age of 25 especially Cameron Bruce.

Posted

time to bite the bullet , package up Sylvia and Rivers and go knocking on Choco Williams door. 2 Adelaide boys for first round pick. love Rivers as a player, takes lots of defensive marks when others would spoil but no good to us playing 4 games a year.

Posted

So he would be worth Port Adelaide spending a first round pick on?

Sylvia isn't from Adelaide either.

Posted

Roost it - I must laugh mate.

Green and Wheatley are both in the top 5 players at the club. With Green probably top 2.

Why would we trade them both to Sydney, who's first pick will only be around 11, 12 or so.

Yep 100%

Nat isnt a sure thing. Watts is

B and F top 5

1. Brad Green

2. Colin Sylvia

3. Austin Wonemarri

4. Paul Wheatley

5. Colin Garland

We need to retain McDonald next year. Goodbye Nietz, Yze, White, Holland & Carroll.

Posted
Yep 100%

Nat isnt a sure thing. Watts is

Just like Molan ... oh.

Posted

I know Junior has another year in him (or seems to) but do you think he might also pull the pin?

I doubt we'll contend for a flag next year & i think he'd be the type to want to get out before he's pushed out.

Also the type that would understand its time to give another young guy an opportunity

no?

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
