OUT: Scully, Gysberts, ND3, ND12, & ND45

IN: Clark, Hogan, Barry, Dawes, Toumpas and Pedersen

I think we may have got the 2009 draft right...

Clark is indirectly affected but we wouldn't have him if HWFUA was still around.

He may be a great player but I am calling this a win for the Dees.

Hell, we got two three KPFs because he pizzed off...

*Edited after Dawes trade and for accuracy with Pick 3 and 4. Also edited as the pick we got in the Dawes trade went to NM for Gysberts.

    Also having him in our team this year may have helped us snare one more win putting us above the Bulldogs in the draft which would have resulted with picks 5 & 6 ( 5 being Viney)

    I am struggling to find a flaw in your statement rpfc.

    Looks good to me.

    Plus the ability to snag Viney in the second round. Let's be honest, that wouldn't have happened had we not had picks 3&4.

    Best #1 draft pick ever!

    The slight flaw I've found is that I'd argue he's also given us pick 4 in this draft. (i.e. without his comp pick, we would've had to use our first pick on Viney and would've lost our first pick in the draft).

    So are you suggesting an even more complex tanking operation undertaken by the Demons for 2012

    - [censored] of a former number 1 pick on a China trip, and deny his dad free hot dogs and pies, so he will leave us;

    - break the foot of our most promising FF in years, mid season

    That sounds far more complex than allowing Jordan McMahon to take a mark outside 50 on the siren, and through our sheer willpower guiding the long kick through.

    Even Carltank could not have dreamed that up.

    Time to start another deep AFL probe: maybe they can spring an interview with another cheesed off ex-player, Beemer in a year or two to "confirm" this elaborate plot.

    So in essence we could also add as an "IN", Oliver Wines? (Or who ever it might be...)

    I think we all need to change our thoughts about the guy. We probably should be errecting a statue somewhere and call it "our saviour". I knew that he always really had the clubs best interests at heart.

    Don't joke, we all know that anyone who lied to Jim Stynes' face doesn't have a heart.

    Edited.

    HWFUA can be considered a hero. He has fundamentally changed our list for the better.

    All he had to do was leave it.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
