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?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
