Well again I am surprised there are pages of comment on numerous threads about the draft.

I guess it just shows how desperate Dees fans are for any news that might raise us about the doldrums of this last decade.

Amazing!

Thanks for that 'bub'. Anyone else think it would be a novel idea to have a daily countdown?

I hope you and bb realise you are usurping the the "Countdown official of Demonland"

I would tread warily if I were you pair.

I am told that his wrath can be dreadful.

this HAS been a VERY GOOD draft though OD....Wont solve anything overnight but you cant make a good vintage from rubbish fruit. We just got a swag of quality on board. Just needs to develop and i think we are capable of that now....but earlier ........... :unsure:

I know this is pessimistic bb but I have heard it before after our draft picks.

I now regard drafting of 18 year olds as Picking the best junior footballers.

Time will tell if they progress to the best senior footballers.

You are just a grumpy old codger with dreams of failure.

Enter the modern world and dream of winning and going overseas on cruise ships.

Believe this OD... Final quarter, 2016 preliminary final, 2 minutes to go, Dees down by 4 points to Hawthorn.

Tommy Mac swoops on a loose ball in the back pocket - handpass to Oscar Mac - switches play to the members side - superb pass hits Stretch on the chest- two bounces - brutal shepherd from Petracca on Hodge - doesn't move- Stretch spots up Brayshaw in the corridor - Brayshaw takes off - shepherd on Mitchell from Neal-Bullen - doesn't get up - Brayshaw kicks inside 50 - Hogan crashes the pack- Hawk defenders spreadeagled - Petracca runs on to the loose ball - kicks from 30m - GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!

Ball is bounced in centre - Gawn taps it to Jones - handpass to Viney- on to Brayshaw - on to Petracca - Hogan marks 25 m out - kicks truly - Game over! Dees into Grand Final.

Ya gotta dream big my friend.

Probably jazza but I would suggest nightmares

No Cruises in 2015 mate but off to Disneyland in Anaheim at the end of April with No.1 Grand Daughter.

Funny not so long ago you would have been able to get me out of Melbourne in the footy season.

The Reverend speaks to the one on high bb

The only problem is I don't think her on high has been listening a lot

My wife stopped listening to me a long time ago. The football gods on the other hand are listening. Evidence - 2014 draft and trade periods.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
