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 call it a massive win.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
