To leave the fruit for a moment. I was wondering if we might go for a couple of smokies at our last 2 picks or continue with best available. As we are out of the first round and star mids won't be there in the 50's and next year we have Viney and 2 bonus picks, maybe we will go a little left field.

Might even pick someone who can play this side of 2015 Do you think?

No that is probably asking a bit much.

    I'm thinking we should be magnanimous to O'Meara and Crouch who not only have done nothing wrong but whose fathers aren't getting a cracker out of their respective new AFL clubs. They really don't deserve to be lumped together with the other bloke.

    In view of today's publicity, perhaps the thread could be changed to:

    "I want to be a Giant until at least next Tuesday"

    Thoughts?

    OK but I would prefer we're given until at least Wednesday because I'm doing something on Tuesday.

    Ahh ok, if it was T$ i wanted you to poke him with a stick, often.

    He is just another opposition player now and they don't interest me.

    Well it's that time of the year again and as we change the name of the thread once more, I will restart the draft countdown.

    20 days to draft day everyone. My wishlist, best available first pick and then 2 smokies like Manson and Hall. Nothing much to lose if they don't end up great. We already have a number of young players who are pushing for games. Our list is healthy and a couple of left field selections will not kill us.

    Would all readers of this great thread please forgive my selfishness and childish behaviour, but it has been an aim of mine to post the 1000th post on this thread. To that end I will now indulge myself.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
