Rumour - Totally unsubstantiated:

Scott Watters is in discussions with the Demons for the heir apparent role.

Wish he'd been sacked earlier, this would have been a perfect Halloween post :P

whats the chances of either Stewie Dew or Robert Harvey getting the saints gig?

Derby Day BBQ.

The guy there knows one of the recruiters.

A Roos 'project' - nearly choked on me lamb kebab.

I would have thought that the entire MFC is a 'project!'

I read today the Mel B was banned from appearing on CH10's The Project. I am shattered. Sexiest woman going around in my opinion.

No way - Francesca Cumani.....rivals Natalie.

Hmmm had a look on google. Very nice but no match. But then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am thinking we could never agree but gee I think we could have a good date with either.

For someone who once played for Blackburn North and St Peters, I think you might be out of your league here.

The draft is still to come 'titan', but maybe it's time for a new all encompassing draft thread.

Sure, but how many rumours are there going to be about who we draft? Given the leaks coming out of the club right now, I'd say none. It's all mainly opinions from here on out, or phantom orders etc.

Yep, and we keep repeating them. Bring on the season, please.....and let us have a season not just one game to extinguish our hopes, please....

OK. I'll go with the big draft rumour of the day.

Rumour has it that after taking advice from the club's consultant on draft matters, a Mr. Prendergast, Melbourne will pass on pick 9 due to a lack of suitable candidates for the position. The following potential candidates were considered but found unworthy:-

Acres - concern over shoulder injury

Aish - too outside

Billings - probably out of our reach

Bontempelli - tall for a mid and might not fit the bill

Boyd - can't fit him into the side

Crouch - lacks the necessary athleticism

Dunstan - one sided, poor disposer of the ball

Freeman - query by some on disposal

Garlett - too much of a behavioural risk

Hartung - too small

Kelly - definitely out of our reach

Kolodjashnij - name too hard to pronounce

Lennon - tested poorly and not really a midfielder, more a half forward

Rioli - too fat

Salem - didn't do enough at national carnival

Scharenberg - a utility, not a mid

Sheed - one paced and doesn't tackle enough

Taylor - midget, no defensive game

No decision has been made as yet as to whether the club would utilise pick 40 (which of course, now becomes pick 39).

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
