Just for fun ...

Fast forward to next Monday, you've just been appointed 'Gubby Allen' for a week and have carte blanche to pick 3 players from other clubs to put straight onto the Deez' list. Who would you pick?

For me ....

1. Lance Franklin

2. Joel Selwood

3. Michael Hurley

Buddy number one easily, wouldnt take Hurley im glad we took Watts well above him, Pendlebury would be my next choice easily

Posted

My first wish would be to be anyone else apart from "gubby Allen"

My second wish would be for a chocolate fountain in my room.

My third wish would be for even more silly and unrealistic threads on Demonland.

Don't you mean Liz Hurley?

Buddy, Pendlebury and Joel Selwood, for me too, please...

Or perhaps Cyril Rioli to fill FP/mid role instead of Selwood.

a never ending packet of tim tams?

I'd prefer a freezer forever packed to the brim with Monaco Bars.

Luke Hodge

Brendon Goddard

Adam Goodes

Honourable mention to '...for posters to use the drafting/trades board to post about trade week'? :P

For me it would have to be Buddy, Pendles and Goodes. Combination of leadership, raw talent and sublime skill. Three things that would help our side immensely. Now, back to reality........

I would only have 1 wish outside of Melbourne getting the likes of Franklin, Hodge, Judd, etc.

That would be Pendlebury going to GWS early, Trav Cloke deciding to walk and for the rest of the comp to pick the eyes out of the rest of the Pies carcass, leaving FIGJAM with absolutely nothing to work with and for the Filth to wollow in their own loser culture crapulence! That is all.

Yes I would have to agree with the majority

Franklin first - we need a big strong focus up front to take the pressure off Jurrah and Watts

Selwood - you just have to admire him and his three premiership medals

Pendelbury - Aside from getting a top notch midfielder, I love nothing more than to take from the Pies.

I could probably shop a lot more but that would make our team pretty damn fine.

Well, obviously Jack Darling because he is the greatest player taken in any draft in the last five years and is exactly the type of forward we have a shortage of...

Seriously though.

Marc Murphy (it's like a description of what is missing from our current midfield came to life)

Zac Smith (Smith+Gawn, and Martin as a relief ruck, unstoppable Fwd/Ruck group for a decade)

I'm trying to be original, but it isn't going to work - Joel Selwood. Can't go past a 23 year old gun mid with leadership.

Just one would do; Sheedy stuffs up the call on the number one draft selection and picks some talentless nobody by mistake and has to wear it.

Posted

If I had 3 wishes it would be that instead of trading for someone elses superstars we manage to land a future All Australian with every pick we have in the upcoming draft. 3x wishes for 3 drafts. That would be a home grown dream team!

    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
