It is starting to look like we are facing an orchestrated opposition by the other clubs to stop us getting a PP pick.

If the AFL agrees I hope we go as hard as hell for a couple of mini draft picks that we have to trade away. That could be better than a PP anyway. We would get more than one player for a start.

    I don't understand why it wouldn't cost other clubs much, when the best player or two is removed from the next year's draft.

    I guess that shows the value of fixed rules for a PP -- it means that there is no point in other clubs whingeing about it. Once it is in the discretion of the AFL, as now, it is in every other club's interest to whinge about it, in the hope that this will minimise the chance of it happening. Perhaps I am just getting too old and cynical, but I think we should expect a thorough campaign of opposition from all 17 other clubs, simply as it is in their interest for us not to get a PP.

    How shittey is my life? I support both the MFC and the ALP.

    Well at the very least the ALP have taken over as the most shambolic organisation in this country. Well done MFC!

    P.S.- it's my turn to bring morning tea to our team meeting on Friday, and bananas are looking very unappealing at the supermarkets. My whole plan is ruined. Oh well, the pricks don't pay me enough to feed them as well!

    still some nice bananas around.. Bought some yesterday. Oddly they can vary greatly from area to area.

    My local independent market/grocer often have nicer ones than Woolies, not to say they dont often but Im spoilt for choice occasionally.

    Whip up a nice banana cake. You can even use ones that are a bit over-ripe.

    I can't see AFL helping us with money and not on the field with some draft help. If we continue to perform on the field like this year we will need more money. I t just makes sense to help us on the field as well.

    I could also imagine a Coach coming to us would want an AFL guarantee of some help on the field as well.

    As mentioned in other threads it doesn't have to be a PP. It could be a mini draft type of help with say two picks we have to trade. That could get us some experienced players and an extra draft pick or two in this years draft without compromising the draft.

    I suspect that the other clubs might warm to this if they see some talent at the Under 18 championships (which continue today) and who fit in the mini draft category. Based on the form of Jaeger O'Meara at the Suns, to a lesser extent Brad Crouch at Adelaide and the tantalising prospects of Jack Martin and Jesse Hogan, we can expect some clubs preferring to wait a year for a sure fire talent and trade combinations of picks and players to get them.

    Apologies in advance for not bringing up the banana theme but I have yet to check the Queensland lists for any up and coming young bananabenders whose families breed alpacas.

    That sounds harder to find than a decent player WJ.

    Suggest your spend your time on a good player search.

    No experience with alpacas? No worries - a 12-month apprenticeship with BBO will set you right!

    You are calling the Queen a d1ckhead, are you?

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
