So... getting down to the last of the talent at Carlton, West Coast, Richmond and Essendon.

Not much left at Brisbane, never was too much at Port.

Geelong has been almost entirely pillaged.

I need to get into Freo and Adelaide before there's nothing left!

Not forgetting the might of the GC Suns.

I accept that they are full of kids and I'll end up selecting one, so it doesn't really matter who it is as they're all untested.

Nicely played with the full face of the bat. :) Giving nothing away there E.

There's some little mind games being played here. Love it!

The wildcard pick adds a bit of intrigue to proceedings as well. Someone might just get a rush of blood and plonk down for two guns from the Pies or Saints.

Get in early while they're hot!

Come to think of it. They come in different shapes and sizes. And there is superior quality from the top end of the draft in Bennell & Day. Not forgetting Toy who D.Swallow regarded as one who should of gone no.1 in the draft, if he was a little older. So, there are bargains. There's also some experience available.......

Not many know of McKenzie, Russell or Weller, who I'd also be happy to select.

That's what makes this so pointless, with no way of qualifying whose list is the best.

Might be worth returning to at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Or not...

Or there is Krakouer, Brown, Toy who are known, etc. With 6 GC players already gone. There might well be a MYER stampede rush for them. The second Gold rush ...perhaps.

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) on this thread guys between 10:00-11:00pm I'm going to submit several interesting quiz questions. It hasn't got a title as such, but it could be seen as a mix of the following titles : -

* Hot hour quiz

* Hour of Power

* Window of opportunity

I'll post a few footy questions relating to the current players of today (so it is relevant to this thread), and if most or all entrants here are present we may even knock over quite a few picks in the process. First correct answers of questions gets bragging rights. Incorrect answers get a friendly uppercut.

If unavailable perhaps a PM to old55 with your preferred selection(s) to keep the ball rolling in the draft.

PS. If there is quite a number who cannot be available we may seek another preferred timeslot. Otherwise please confirm availability.

old55 - can you please confirm availability for timeslot or if you have a preferrable timeslot.

Quiz is not necessarily for those specifically participating in the Best 18 draft either.

My availability is unreliable at present - away with work. Carry on, seems to be going well and getting more interesting.

Cheers HT, happy with that. It's what I would have done, except if I got out my crystal ball and knew Eth38 was going to pluck Walker! He was high on my list.

Anyway I'm just happy to get Essendon done!

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
