another exciting trade day

if the afl have any brains they will extend trade period to 3 weeks and start a trade tv channel in full hd

1. Your premise is false.

2. Really? You must be magnificently bored ... It would be more exciting to watch Biff entertaining the lads ... :):blink:

Only if 7 is excluded.

Hoping for a miracle, an ice breaker, a 3rd party, .... something..

Off topic.....

Any 'Back to The Future' watchers and/or history buffs?

Chicago Cubs - 107 yrs since having won the world series. In the movie, one of the characters got hold of a Sports Almanac, went back to the past and loaded up on the Cubs when it got to 2015 - knowing that they'd won as a 200-1 shot.

In real life now - 2015 - the Cubs have now made their divisional final and aren't all that far from the World Series.

Thought I'd share.

You can all have that 1 minute back now.......#tradeweekboredom

Apparently I have an assistant.

Cheers. Plenty of countdowns on this thread.

Just thought I'd re-visit the first several pages of this thread. Below is the post that started the banana talk. Much better prices nowadays. Think making a smoothie now will kill some trade time and satisfy the tastebuds: -

Pods and some other senior player are 50/50 for this week. Pods could be rested and out for Mooney.

What's with banana's at $14.00 P/kg these days ? Don't tell me the carbon tax is up and running already....

No Banana but REAL bagel, cream cheese and Coffee.

Excellent way to start Caulfield cup day

I am off for breakfast with Mrs. Redleg. Nice banana smoothie is already in my thoughts.

Interesting experience yesterday I am keen basket ball follower and for many years I was a Tigers member.

When the Tigers became Melbourne United I lost a lot of interest in the NBL.

So after good results in the pre season competition and two from two wins in the season proper I decided to go last night.

The United won again and even at this stage look to be good chances to go all the way this season.

It was a good game but I found myself an on looker rather than being involved with the team.

I was purely an observer.

I just cannot get involved the way i used with the Tigers.

There is talk of the TIGERS returning in a few seasons time, that looks a pipe dream to me.

Also I am not sure how you barrack for the "United" !

I drove home thinking this game confirmed why I still follow AFL

My team is still there. If the Dees were to fold I would be an observer of AFL.

PS there was a very good crowd which just shows people will follow winnners even when they they have no history, have a god awful strip and no emblem as such.

People like to win. They also don't enjoy losing a whole lot, but i suppose you can be philosophical about it ( or just resigned lol )

I like to win, to revel in the euphoria. Might even happen with the Dees, but I'm philosophical :rolleyes:

Speaking of winning.

The trifecta will be from 2,10,17 and 6 .

Believe me,the punt has made me the man I am today.

So much anger on the Trade Board. Obviously banana deprivation.

Yeah too many monkeys and not enough bananas ... How was the smoothie?

I am with you on that one, OD. I can;t get into the United, no matter how many games they win. The Melbourne Tigers were a real club, with history, feeder programs, good links between layers (like NBL players coaching juniors), and all that goes with it. United? Sounds like a synthetic bunch with no appeal for me.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
