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...

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!

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
