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.

Or making a political statement that the system is flawed beyond meaning.

This. An absolute joke. Quite the bold statement from us though to bid pick 2. Would've made Eddie proud.

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.

So the competition thinks Stretch is a third rounder.

I hope he is better than that but lets wait and see

No, the competition thinks he is a second rounder, hence the second round pick bid.

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.

What draft pick would he have gone at if he wasn't a father/son.. Mid 20's?

29 was the pick that Adelaide bid on him with, so around that.

plenty of vacant numbers to chose from in the top 20

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
