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.

    I asked the same question this morning Redleg.

    Waiting for nasher to get back to me.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
