We may have lost some high draft picks, but at least the Pea hearts have gone!

Sad to see some high pick going to waste. Good to see Moloney, Morton, Gysberts et al on their bike. I suppose the number where you were drafted at is only really a number in the end. It means nothing after you have been in the system.

Correct. Something the player identified in your own profile name would want to take heed of in 2013 given he's coming out of contract.

Someone said it perfectly in another thread ... Give 100%, 100% of the time, or F%!?K off!

My first reaction was, 'they must want to give our new picks some good guernsey numbers'!

Bit perplexed, however perhaps they have a formula for what types of players should be on a list, and viney is taking gysberts inside mid role, and they have plans for someone else to play the sort of role Morton might have had?

The cards were marked long ago by the look of it.

Gysberts would have gone to Geelong if not for Caddy. Morton would have got to WC earlier if not for the Brown deal being so slow.

In the end they just had to go.

Not part of the Hardest Team.

What role was that. I'm not sure I've ever known what his role was.

And, by the way, I don't think any player, ever, who runs out onto an AFL field has a pea heart. Undoubtedly some are more fearless than others. But I think the starting point for all AFL players is a high level of pain tolerance and willingness to be hurt. I think that descriptor is unfair and unwarranted.

They wouldn't have asked they would've been told.

GO or FO!

Had a look at Jack Watts season in review on the MFC website and was really pleased to see some of the marks he took backing back into packs whilst keeping his eyes on the ball and not dropping his head.

Jacks going to be a great player just needs to fill out a bit more

ppl are acting like we have delisted half our list with old player.

We have picked up 2 older players, 2 mid 20 players and 4 kids.

I still think we have come out on top

They did say they Where building a War chest.

There was nothing said about picking new players around our crapy list.

Some players had to go to make way for the war chest.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
