Welcome Billy. Amazing how long we've had our eyes on him, from that skinny little boy, to a young man who has shown the ability to get better and better, well done son. This has a good feel about it, hopefully young Lovett comes on as these boys are the link to our most successful recent period.

Nice to have a small win with Stretch, but Heeney for pick 17 or whatever is a joke. The system is broken and the AFL don't care. If Heeney was going to the Bulldogs, they would have had to use pick 5 to get him. How is that fair?

It is unfair....although its all swings and roundabouts.

People need to remember we got Viney in similar circumstances.

It's a lot better than the old system where either club would get the player in the 40s without any of the other clubs having access to him.

Stoked. We get Stretch without compromising our position at the trade table.

Excellent way to begin my favourite period of the year.

Welcome Billy!

My mates joke with me its all we've got to look forward to. It's a little bit like with my membership I'm guaranteed a grand final ticket should the MFC make it.....

It has been a long time. This thread was started about four Machsy aliases ago - by the original, no less.

That is very funny.

I reckon it shows that we're going to use pick 2 on the best midfielder in the draft. Pick 3 is what we'll shop around.

Perhaps. But the best midfielder was Heeney, followed by daylight, then Brayshaw and Petracca.

Which is why I'd have no qualms trading both picks away this year.

That big a gap between them you reckon? I'd have thought we'd be talking about all three pretty evenly if they were all up for grabs.

Roos would have seen Heeney when he was at the Sydney academy - obviously rates him very highly.

8 10 11 15 17 19 take your pick

Daughters got number 8 on back and that comes off and we will have a ritual burning of that scumbags number, might have a look at Billy's new number for her!!

Watching some of the old games on youtube in 1987 featuring Robbie I was remininscing about three of our emerging great players at that time Viney, Stretch and Lovett.

Wouldn't it be romantic if the same names were pushing the club towards the top in the latter part of this decade.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
