The Melbourne Priority Pick (TBC) Preview: aka AFL U18 Championships Round 5

The website is called The Flack which I regard as somewhat ironical because of the flack the club has been caused to the club by the activity of a certain Mr. Flack (perhaps the author of this piece).

Interesting comments about who might be the MFC's priority pick if the club indeed, gets one.

I'm more in favour of a mini draft but that involves knowing the quality of the 17 year olds available.

"Aish turns on a dime and scythes a 40 metre pass to Luke Reynolds, who converts. James should probably start looking for an apartment while he’s in town, something near the Monash so he has a good run down to Casey."

Hey, good stuff. Writing with a bit of poetic flair is what's lacking in our oh so serious journos writing. It's one of the things that both the yanks and Poms have over us. Great sports writing on a consistent basis.

Without boring people witless, I wish our journos could pen something close to one of my favorites.

Very optimistic. Hope you're right.

I think jones will be there at 37, Dunstan would be dicey but there are a few decent mids so i'm sure one will slip through, either way our long term midfield prospects will look a hell of a lot better, certainly would need a couple of older free agents to guide the young guys though.

I went and had a look at Scharenbergs vids. He looks like a great reader of the play. Is he an out and out midfielder though D fan?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    It’s game day and the Demons face a massive test which may determine whether they have what it takes to play finals this season. The task has been made all the more difficult without their Premiership Captain Max Gawn.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    PODCAST: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demonland Podcast will not be LIVE on this week. Binman will do his regular stats files segment and will preview the upcoming Essendon match but will not be taking any questions this week. I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.
