Just to clarify, I wasn't having a go at anyone specific, but yeah, it wasn't very serious :).

Sad thing is, on re-reading it, it probably wasn't that much sillier than some of the very serious, very angry posts that tend to appear here after a loss, or in response to a perceived outrage against the MFC. I'll probably need to lift my game a bit if I plan to post here in the off-season.

What amuses me about Adelaide's attempted manipulation of the draft is that there is zero guarantee that GWS will trade with only them to land them Jack Viney. If he became available this way then every club would have a crack at him which basically means he'll have even less control over where he ends up because GWS will want the best deal possible.

Young Jack has the choice of either knowing where he'll end up or he basically goes into a lottery to the highest bidder, which is even worse than nominating for the draft.

It's his choice

PS Sorry for taking the discussion back to the topic demon_wink.gif

Having said that, we need him to stick around long enough to play in the Demonology/Saintsational game. It's imperative we win that, or Demonland will never reach 30,000 posters.

I'm not sure he could do that - against saintsational we'd have to wear our clash strip.

I'm not certain Jack would agree to wearing the colour of surrender.

So, at the end of the day it is Jacks choice, right? Should we be worried? Even though Adelaide may be perceived as being [censored], usually home is where family is... i'm a bit worried, as I wouldn't be totally shocked if he decided to play for Adelaide. Lets not forget they are in the greater position to persuade Jack, and he plays with his mates there now, has visited the Adelaide facilities..

Can anyone categorically say we have nothing to worry about, or are we all just assuming he will play for the dees, because we would all give our left [censored]/breast to?

I'm sorry but you can't not subscribe to my theory but then do so at your convenience like Matthew Bate.

Trouble for you is, it has nothing to do with your theory, even if it did. So what is the beef with Bate anyway ? My respect ladder ? Is that what you're referring to. Because if it is, you have misunderstood.

Welcome back anyway Freak.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but his three options are:

1. Go to Melbourne under the F/S

2. Get picked up by GWS under one of their rules allowing them to get 4 17 year olds

3. Go to the national draft

So, he really has a 1 in 9 chance of staying in SA if he takes option three, by being picked up by Adelaide/Port Adelaide. So why risk it? Besides, he's only been in SA for 2 years now, his dad captained Melbourne and he played footy with Jack Trengove and Luke Tapscott...so we're talking about slim chances of him not ending up a Demon, right?

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
