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.

    Anything to do with the title of the film?

    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....

    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"

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
