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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
