Race 6 at Bendigo today number 3 is Stynes and number 4 is Jimmy's Better. Wish it were true.

[Redleg 42,087]

Speaking of racing, any chance I could get a double, Casey and Richmond.

And then there was recruiting. Or as it could be called, "pin the tail on the donkey".

I am sure Redleg that if they had used that method we would have been better off.

There was an even simpler method. Pick the most popular selection on Demonland at each round and we would have several more AFL standard players on the list.

It is astounding that a series of "professional" recruiters could get it so badly wrong.

And so many times for a fairly long period.

I would imagine that Gysberts will be delisted by North.

So do you guys know who was the last person to play in a winning VFL and WAFL grand Final teams in the same year?

Which year it was and for which Clubs do he play for?

Sorry but I just pumped as Claremont finished 4 or 5 games clear as minor Premiers and traditionally they beaten us in finals plus the game was played at their home ground.

Stan Heal (1941) played 8 games for Melbourne including the Grand Final win. Stan was rated the third best in the Demons Grand Final victory. One week later he returned to the West and because he only went East because of his service in the Navy (National Service) he was entitled to re-join West Perth and take the place of one of their injured players. West Perth also won their 1941 Grand Final.

Stan Heal was a champion West Perth player who was good enough to play in any league.

Of course Stan Heal. How could I forget it was only 72 years ago.

I Have bigger issues to worry about . My most disliked side is now still in the finals after being gifted a spot and falling in in their last game.

Please Swans do the right thing.

IMO It would be so funny if Carton ends up winning the Flag, poor little Messendon.

Although, I know what you mean as my second most disliked team is still in the Finals and have a home game final. Although my most disliked team has been knocked out already.

(Freo & Collingwood)

But on a lighter note the team I have supported for about 42 years (I have only been around for 45 years myself) is in the Grand Final and could win its first Premiership since 2003. I only been supported the MFC since 1999, when I stop supporting the WCE as a result of the destruction of the WAFL completion.

I really feel for all the long term MFC supporters who may have never seen their Club win a Flag. Although as much as this season really sucks but maybe it was needed to give the Club a real chance at a Grand Final victory within the next five to ten years.

Why are all the trading threads now appearing on the main board?

Is Demonland being attacked by gremlins?

[beelzebub 23,392]

dont give them water !!!!

The recruiters of a few years ago.

This mob would have done way better

I have watched this year with interest some of our rejects from the last couple of years.

Below is my view which I am not claiming is perfect because I was out of the country a couple of times and may have missed a item or two.

Martin played a couple of games at Brisbane but basically no impact.

Gysberts played a few good games for Werribee but no senior games for North

Morton played a couple of games for WCE with nil impact, little impact for East Perth.

Bennell little impact anywhere but that be harsh as he was out with a knee injury the first half of the year.

Petterd Actually played well for Richmond good pick up by the Tigers.

Cook Vanished without trace

Bate disappeared into the Essendon VFL team without much mention

Maric Vanished without trace

Based on their form only Petterd seems to have been an error.

The rest have performed as they did with the MFC.

Says lots about selection.

IMO they have shown us that development or the lack of it had much to do with these guys non results.

Just bloody poor selections in the first place.

That was also my view on the development / recruiting issue. None have improved elsewhere.

Beamer and Ricky were the best two this year and they didn't play better with their new clubs.

It just reinforces my view that recruiting is the single most damning stuff up.
