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?

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
