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.

And lets not forget it would have cost us $800k pa to keep him as well.....

Every time I think about this subject I get a warm feeling.

I really think we lucked into the best situation possible.

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

All he had to do was leave it.

You may underestimate the influence of Gawn's metabolism.

Who'd have thought that a giant's hurl could potentially save a footy club.

    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.
