I think we're all clutching at straws.

How about we bring them all down to AAMI park and play jack in the pack, whoever ends up with the ball gets the gig.

Yes we are. Truth is, none of them are any good.

Hearing Paul Hamilton just a second ago on SEN radio...

Apparently both Neagle & Atkinson have both shown over their 10 days of preseason so far, that their training standards are not up to scratch.

I didn't catch the name, but they were given 2 days to improve their attitude & intensity and one of the players didn't even bother showing up to training the next day.

Definitely not what we want at our club.

It was Atkinson. He walked away from football when he found out he needed to train harder.

Neagle will keep training with Essendon in the hope of a rookie list spot.

    With Neagle we would be getting another Miller.

    That is an insult to Miller.

    Anthony is the only player that has achieved anything of note at AFL level. So if we were to go after someone IMO it should be him. Can also play down back unlike Thorp or Neagle.

    Also can people stop saying that Anthony is the same size as our other forwards such as Green. Brad is 184cm 83kgs and plays way above his size(brilliantly I might add), whilst Anthony is 192cm 92 kgs. A completely different player.

    To paraphrase -

    "It's the fish Scott Clayton rejects, that make Scott Clayton the best..."

    Can't say I'm excited about any of them. For pick 50 something you could do worse than Jack Anthony, he may yet bloom again.

    Probably the only real quality experienced player available is Cameron Bruce, but he wouldn't really suit our needs and wouldn't be around long enough to really help towards a premiership.

    So another year of kids it is.

    This year on Demonland, let's do something novel and entertain the idea of using all four of our draft picks on untried players. This idea is nothing new to the FD, but I'm just hoping that one day, just maybe, it might catch on on the forum.

    Do I pass?

    The maths will agree with you.

    John Jack Anthony, but is called jack for some reason

    Personal choice says this quote from the article in the Jack Anthony thread...

    "Honest to the point of abrasive, and with a raft of personality quirks, he was thought by rival recruiters to be uncoachable. Refusing to answer to his birth name John - Jack had a better ring to it - he struggled to find his niche at the club."

    He's called Jack becausae he has Jackshit chance of playing for Melbourne

    Or the fact Jack is "short" for John, the way Dick is short for Richard and Harry is short for Henry.

    Sad news about Atkinson. i thought he showed something. He has terrific pace and could have filled the small defenders role. Maybe he needs a good role model like Davey.

    I think Essendon are just giving Neagle a kick in the pants, and will look to pick him up as a rookie.

    Their footy manager has said that.

    Houli looks set to go to Richmond via the PSD.

    Atkinson is a list clogger.

    Neagle likewise, but I'd prefer him to Jack Anthony...

    Any interest..?

    (this is a test...)

    Preference for Neagle over Anthony.Your kidding or just a fool.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
