I'm being serious when I say it's more important for us to get the draft assistance by way of a mini draft or a priority pick which would give us two early picks and possibly a midfielder with experience than whether we end up with pick 2, 3 or 4. One of those picks should give us a quality young midfielder anyway and, in any event, we have no control over whether St. Kilda wins one or more games so it doesn't worry me.

Sorry to be discussing football on this thread by the way.

I was going to say something about that... along the lines of having ones cake and eating it too :rolleyes:

I am serious to the extent Redleg that we have seemingly been fixated on early draft picks.

It seems to me that we had this view that all we had to do was get early picks and problems solved.

The result was we picked some shockers over a five period and ended up with tanking problems and a crap list.

Does it really matter wether you get 2,3 or 4?

Well it does matter if you get 2,3 or 4 if the bloke you want goes before your pick. Also if you wanted to trade your pick a higher pick is clearly worth more.

I agree with your other proposition that we thought picks of themselves would save us. We now know there is much more to it, starting with getting the right players and then developing them.

Don't be sorry about discussing football on this thread, it is such a great thread that we discuss football and other things as well.

Well I've been bobbing around The top for a couple of months in a boat. No communication available, especially in NT. Got a AM radio signal today. It must have been country hour or something. Got the banana report. Melb 139000 cases, Sydney 147000 cases, Tasmania 3500 cases, Adelaide etc, etc. They give prices from the markets. Not fascinating, but maybe relevant? There is a different category for lady finger. Never had one of those.

Some relevant information. Keep it coming.

Today I went to the football

I have no idea why

I need help

Because you like Pain and Suffering.

There a word for people who like pain and its call a MFC Supporter.

I hoped you enjoyed the day out being with your family and friends and the fresh air.

It seems that when there is improvement and you see some hope, they smash you back to reality.

Well my big weekend in Bendigo turned to nothing.

Five of us getting together.

Friday one was down with flu, one broke his arm Thursday night, third one had to visit wife in hospital after fall from a golf cart.

Yes you are reading correctly she fell out of golf cart.

So the two of us left standing called the weekend early Saturday morning.

After some discussion we are all on for next weekend.

There seems to be a bit of sadness around tonight did we lose on Saturday or something.

No we won by 25 points.

Great then what is all the gloom about?

Seriously I have been thinking this for some months now but this the worst MFC side in my memory of 54 years bar none.

I did not expect to win and I thought 10 - 12 would be the result.

But I have to say 20 is returning to the Neeld days.

took the MFC sticker off the car this morning, packed away the cap and scarf.

Think I am just about done, there is more to life than the pain that is the MFC.

you missed a ripper game od

Well it appears that way dc.

I ended up at Uni blacks game, they won again.

I heard the three quarter time score and thought thank god I decided to come here.

That is what I told my son after the game. I basically said the season is over and we have to look forward to a new coach, more new mids and next year. You can't just keep beating yourself up every week over the performance of this team. He even went to Geelong and got absolutely drenched. I swore off Geelong after 186.

It is just so bloody sad to see where we are at the moment. That said however I honestly believe 3 good mids could change things dramatically.

Three Redleg!

I think eight or nine might be closer to the mark.

We currently have one afl standard mid fielder.

The rest are either backman or forwards trying to fill holes.

Honestly I see three years to make this team competitive.

I doubt we will last that long.


Can you promise 3 years od ?

i might just cope with that, but i don't have your optimism

Well it has been six dc and we are worse than 2007 so probably not but If I say more than three out loud

I do some self harm.

But like WCE I have put the cue in the rack for at least 2014

I am informed that when our new President mentioned his favourite food was banana bread, it got him over the line.

As it should!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
