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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
