Warnock and 69

for

24, 56 and 72

And no-one for us to pick up in the PSD . . .

I hope you fail miserably Robert Warnock, kinda like the MFC always does at getting players.

What the hell's going on with Melbourne's recruiting!

we are just the most pathetic thing going around at the moment

This won't leave the Blues with many picks in this draft.

I suppose they've finally stopped trying to bottom out...

And that's going to take a minimum of 10 - 15 years of great management to change

For all those lamenting our pathetic recruiting... did you see how many players were clamoring to be traded to WCE, Freo and Port? ... none?

Unfortunately its a side-effect of finishing bottom. Once we start to get the results we'll be a much more appealing destination. Simple.

A little perspective people, please...

I might just go cry in to pick #1.

Seriously, could you guys be any more melodramatic? I don't get why it's such a big deal that we didn't pick up a couple of B grade players (if they were 'A' grade they wouldn't be 'seeking opportunities elsewhere'). I think 'no result' isn't a terrible thing for us by any means.

I am disappointed that there wasn't any takers for a couple of the hacks that were inquired about like CJ though.

Thank God we didnt get the anorexic beanpole.

20 games and has done nothing.

Another woeful trade from Carltank. Warnock will snap in half in Round 1.

Ease up.. seriously think about it.. who did we want? Warnock.. fair enough we had a crack at him, didnt work out. Prismall is on the sidelines with a Knee reco.. it would have been a risk.. We kept our picks, we rebuild, we build, nothing pathetic about that!

Yes we are not attractive to players sitting on the bottom.

answer this though - how many tall skinny ruckamn have played in premierships in the last 10 years?

it will help Carlton now becasue they have no ruck division, but it was well over hyped when the guy was not getting a game ahead of Kepler Bradley.

We have 3 top 20 picks and thats good for our future.

Pretty soft effort by Fremantle, just gave in at the end of the day. They've been massively ripped off.

Well i hope that future your talking about includes Jamar and Meeson

Because with those guys i reckon we could have a serious crack at it,

who knows, mayb in the next couple of years...

pathetic

That's part of it though Freak. Why did he choose Carlton over us?

Posted

Warnock = GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME!

How the f#$@ did we miss him? I may have only seen like 12 minutes of him playing, but they were AWESOME! Why didn't we give them Carroll, pick 86 and Paul Williams?

Stop the Cash Converters mentality, most of you only want him because he was on offer.

exactly, because we are pathetic at the moment.

and if he said no to us, go and get someone else,

why keep such massive deadwood at our club when their doing nothing

and arn't even going to be around in the next couple of years

because they'll prove themselves what duds they are.

Stuff like this needs to change at Melbourne

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
