Like Scully, a class act all round. I can't see how they can be split as No.1 pick, and though I'm sure that neither of them would be fazed by missing out, IMO we should make them joint No.1.

what the hell are you talking about? We can't just choose to do that, the procedure is that they say 'no.1 melbourne?' and we say a name then they say 'no.2 melbourne?' and we say another name. Prendergast isn't going to say 'sorry Vlad we are taking two x 1.5 in the interests of equality' even if we did do that we would have to say one name first wouldnt we? Or should we say TrenScullyGove?

not to mention we would look like a bunch of amateur twats

    Just a question here? Does the number 1 pick get a higher sign on contract than the other draftees?

    I don't think so - aren't they paid according to the round they were picked in?

    Sorry Curry, you just shot yourself in the foot. This year, the draft (top10) is read out in reverse order. So, unless you are in the inner sanctum, you will hear pick 2...Melb, followed by pick 1 Melb...

    Gee, and you talk about amateur twats!!! (jokes )

    1st pick gets 10k bonus, 2nd pick gets a 5k bonus.

    I really doubt the motivation for playing is based on money especially in the first few years

    We dont want a Mark "scud" fullofpizza,s on our hands

    If the issue of who was taken at #1 DID become a point of some kind of contention between the two, I would consider it an opportunity for one or the other to bring it up, talk it over, and come out closer for it. How they handle one another at training, in matches and in the media (as well as socially obviously) will be the defining aspect there. They could be closer mates for it?

    We've seen how they handle one another on the field this year. Scully came out of it with some interesting fashion in the face bandaging area.

    I actually had a nightmare last night that we took someone else at number two. Was so relieved when I woke up.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
