Best 18

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.

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!

Pick 88: Taylor Walker (Adelaide)

B: Harbrow Pears

HB:

C: Hodge

HF: Gray Cloke

Everyone on that team I respect and wanted, except maybe Priddis but he's pretty good for your WCE pick. Very well done whilst getting WCE, Ess, GC, Port and Sydney knocked off.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
