To leave the fruit for a moment. I was wondering if we might go for a couple of smokies at our last 2 picks or continue with best available. As we are out of the first round and star mids won't be there in the 50's and next year we have Viney and 2 bonus picks, maybe we will go a little left field.

Might even pick someone who can play this side of 2015 Do you think?

No that is probably asking a bit much.

 

I'm thinking we should be magnanimous to O'Meara and Crouch who not only have done nothing wrong but whose fathers aren't getting a cracker out of their respective new AFL clubs. They really don't deserve to be lumped together with the other bloke.

In view of today's publicity, perhaps the thread could be changed to:

"I want to be a Giant until at least next Tuesday"

Thoughts?

 

Nobody else was interested in going so it's Thai food tonight instead.

IMO WJ the Thai will be more enjoyable

OK but I would prefer we're given until at least Wednesday because I'm doing something on Tuesday.

Not necessarily, he will be sitting next to me.

Ahh ok, if it was T$ i wanted you to poke him with a stick, often.

He is just another opposition player now and they don't interest me.

Well it's that time of the year again and as we change the name of the thread once more, I will restart the draft countdown.

20 days to draft day everyone. My wishlist, best available first pick and then 2 smokies like Manson and Hall. Nothing much to lose if they don't end up great. We already have a number of young players who are pushing for games. Our list is healthy and a couple of left field selections will not kill us.

Would all readers of this great thread please forgive my selfishness and childish behaviour, but it has been an aim of mine to post the 1000th post on this thread. To that end I will now indulge myself.

Still on the GC, home tomorrow.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • NON-MFC: Round 14

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
