Todd Viney created two records tonight. He is the first father to call out his son's name at the draft and he was the only manager to record an error in his selections.

He called the number of a draftee incorrectly and the AFL guys called error and he reread it. Not a big deal though.

I guess an easy mistake to make when the drafts have such long reference numbers. I was thinking to myself earlier i wonder how many mistakes are made.

Thanks redleg

Surprised no-one picked up Dale Roberts

Our propaganda plan seems to have worked. Can pick him up cheap as a rookie?

That's what should happen. He has been lying low and in fact hiding behind Dayle Garlett.

talking of young Garlett, I like a bit of arrogance in a player, but boy does this kid know how to lay it on

so sad for someone of obvious (football) talent and so sad a lot of the negativity will rub off on his 'brothers'

I am trying to shake off one of the worst colds I have ever had. Been over a week already.

I might try inhaling some steamed banana vapours and see if that helps. Nothing else has.

Every training report I see (from Demonlanders) has Davey as the worst performed. Struggling has been the most flattering description of his efforts. I really feel that the time is near for him to make a decision on his future. I would hate to see him go out as an embarrassment.

I seriously doubt he will be embarrassed Redleg.

And neither would I.

He will be happy to play out the final year of a contract worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I would happily play out the year at Casey for $300 000+.

Would you retire and forgo the money?

He would obviously get most of the money, it is about clearing a spot for a player who may be able to contribute.

But only if he wants to go

If he does not and thinks he can get back to injury free there may still be a chance somewhere in the AFL beyond 2013.

In his view "where there is life there is hope"

I am trying to post on the thread but can't find it. Does anyone know where it is?

I asked the same question this morning Redleg.

Waiting for nasher to get back to me.

Nearly choked on my morning Coffee

It's barely a footy thread. If it weren't so popular, I'd say it should be put in the Off-Topic section of the forum.

But if it did go there, it would die a slow and horrible death because nobody ever visits Off-Topic.

seems it slipped on a banana peel and skidded right off the forums !!!!!!

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Fremantle

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
