G'day all,

Long time reader first time commentator, Although i would love to see Toumpas sneak through to pick 4, i just cannot see GWS passing on him. I really like the idea of 3 hard nuts in the middle in Jones, Viney and Wines. I bet Mitch Robertson will never utter those words again!. haha

The AFL Phantom Draft is out today.

It has Jimmy T going to Melbourne and O'Rourke going to GWS @ 2.

I'm starting to think that the Giants are sending out mixed messages to the media. Silvagni probay has nothing better to do.

I have no idea as to how it would benefit them to send out mixed messages however. Unless they are trying to confuse clubs in an attempt to get Menzel at 14

WBD would be all over Menzel if he got that far. Dont see him getting to 14. Grundy likely to be the big slide, bigger still if PTA pass on him.

It's equivalent to what GWS's haul will be with their picks 1, 2, 3...

A great result.

Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Barry, Dawes, Pedersen = kissed on the dick.

If true, what an off-season.

Plus some leaders and ridding of projects and Damian Barrett can go and use his private parts as piranha bait.

I'm sorry, I just love that Metro ad...

Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Barry, Dawes, Pedersen, Gillies, Byrnes, Rodan = **&((%^& Awesome!!!!!!

Why would GWS choose O'Rourke over Toumpas?

Not sure, I find it strange that Toumpas was basically a lock for pick 2 for a good six months but slips to 4 a week before the draft.

= the end of bruise free footy at the MFC.

Hard not to get excited about it, I mean:

Huge Potential: Hogan, Viney, Toumpas, Barry

Solid Proven contributers: Pedersen, Gillies, Rodan

Experienced leaders from sucessful clubs: Dawes, Byrnes,

= Soooooo much better than where we were at pre this time of year

(PS Wines would still be an incredible result also, and if we can sneak a gem with one of our other picks it will be a very exciting time)

It's unusual that a single side has so many early picks and can afford to be selective on a needs basis.

Anderson said his sources cited O'Rourke's playing style as a better fit for GWS' list. Also an odd preference for Victorian's.

Can't reveal my source but it's very solid ... Jimmy T. will fall to us at 4 and we will duly take him.

If true, then we have done very well this off-season and picked up another player with elite potential.

Please let it be true. Please do not [censored] up another low pick.

Pick Toumpas!!!

Hogan, Viney and Toumpas. 3 genuine top ten picks in the one draft. Plus Dawes, Pederson, Byrnes and Rodan as right now players. Feels like we are eating our cake and having it too!

    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
