On a side note, as will have been mentioned by now in the draft event thread. The two key reasons we kept talking about Ball were

1. to see if we could fox another club into picking differently based on the belief that we were taking Ball at 18.

And reason two... this is golden -

2. To get as many opportunities as possible to talk about how we have a fantastic list of young midfielders (i.e. 'Ball would be useful to help develop our fantastic group of young midfielders') I think this explains why it was starting to feel to me like we were talking about him as an assistant coach, he was never thought of as a player for us!

Ball is an AA, a former captain, a B&F winner & was one of St. Kilda's best players in the GF, Scully on the other hand could be the next Jack Watts.

We don't need the press - there'll be enough press when we start doing our thing.

We should just carry on and be happy we haven't used our picks on a Josh Fraser or a Dale Thomas

Wrong again. Scully is the next Jack Watts, in that he is the next number 1 pick. Now we have 2 from 2, whilst you have a slow Saints reject who, although 25 has the groins of a 45 year old distance runner. Take your pick, I know who I'd pick, and so does my club.

Speaking of the media.. anybody enjoy that little snippet in the Hun about how Port Adelaide (wrong) caused drama with a pause calling out "Luke" (correct) with their 18th pick (they had 18 picks?) when they selected Luke Tapshott (wrong)?

So many errors, so little time.

Also laughed when they spoke of how tough.. i think it was Cunnington was? Said it stemmed from his father because he had tatts? Hopeless.

I was over the whole situation. As I said 6 weeks ago, I wouldn't mind if we got Taylor or Josh Thomas at #30 (instead of Ball), who is this years Dayne Beams. We got him & Ball, win/win.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
