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

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.

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.

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!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
