And why do people keep putting Jack Viney down as a second round pick? It's not going to happen and the sooner we recognise that fact, the better. GC or GWS are NOT going to allow him to come to us for basically nothing.

Totally agree.

...... if GC and GWS are prepared to have Viney on their list instead of Whitfield, Toumpas, Grundy etc. Viney was rated about 6-8th recently. GC and GWS have to get the best pick for their club, there is no point taking Viney if they aren't prepared to have him with that pick.

Daniher is different, every club would nominate him, because he is rated as a top 2 pick easily in this draft, it's a no brainer and each club would jump at the chance.

GC and GW are more concerned with their own draft, than what pans out for the MFC.

I agree that GWS will not bid on Viney. GC are another matter. They are playing silly buggers in their comments to the press saying that they need a good inside mid and Viney is the best in the draft, but there could be some truth in it. If they are truly looking to draft for type with their pick 2 they could very well make a legitimate bid on him. It would in that case be a win/win for them. They either get the best inside mid in the draft or they force our hand and reduce the number of live picks ahead of their second pick in the draft.

The real question is are they really thinking that way or is it all just silly buggers before draft/trade time?

Melbourne need a BIG announcement to stay to be credible. Name a superstar in the competition that would be willing to join Melbourne and be lectured to like a High School Kid. This is the dilemma for us.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
