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

Yes did we really want Cook!

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.

A day without sun is like night......

You might well ask what does the scene below have to do with this thread?

Anything to do with the title of the film?

-4 ........but who's counting

next big event

November 28, 2pm - Out of Contract Listed Players Nomination deadline, International Players Nomination deadline, Players Not Registered / Played Three Years deadline, NSW Scholarship and International Scholarship Players deadline.

can't wait......beside myself already

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.


Blah blah blah....

3316 and counting.....

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.

I alluded to this elsewhere

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 !!!!!!

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
