There's a joke that springs to mind about Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and an oompa loompa . . .

All clubs need a solid foundation, it would seem someone is making one hell of a contribution.

Edit: spelling

I'd happily trade pick 9 for Toby Greene

Looks good in theory, but taking a lot of off field issues with him, very similar to a former Brownlow/Premiership player at a similar age. The issues never went away and are still there in retirement. To much risk

AFLs version of The Simpsons family.

It's more like Peter, Meg, Chris and... Magda Szubanski

Seen this bloke with Jon Patton last year in the off season up our way. In my own eyes i have never seen a pro athlete carry on weirdly like he did that night.

Whenever Tom looks at that photograph, he must surely be thinking to himself, "I've seen the future, and it 'aint looking so good!".

C'mon guys, let's not give Tom Scully any relevance.

Moving along... If we could get AT for pick 9, that is a VERY good trade.

I thought it was taking the pee out of his weird and whacky family.

Btw, did his mum used to star in Prisoner?

I doubt anyone is that surprised by his words.

I had big hesitation about losing Sylvia in terms of on the field, but essentially getting Vince in return is at worst a break even. A 10 year player is gone and I really could not care less.

It certainly puts into perspective his comments at the B&F about asking someone to "sort out" his life membership of the club for him. He was clearly in talks with Freo at that stage. Arrogant arse. You can take your life membership and [censored] Col.

I wish I was sufficiently tech savvy to post the photo I have of Col passed out at a nightclub last weekend that a mate texted to me.

I don't reckon Ross Lyon would be particularly impressed.

Sounding like you have the computer skills of my mum... [on the phone] "Ok, go to your start menu... its the thing in the bottom right hand corner with the flag... yep the bottom, left click it... click like you normally would... just click it once don't double tap... Ill be around in half an hour"

I won't be the least bit surprised or disappointed if we've put our cue in the rack for this years trade period. The word is that next years draft is an anomaly in that it's choc full of quality key talls.

By the end of next year we should have a much clearer idea of where we sit with our own big man stocks and what we need to take the next step.

If we have early picks, and I expect we will, there is always a few sides desperate for bigs, that will trade just about anything to get them. Addressing gaps in the midfield is a lot easier than trying to find quality big men.

I think the reason they went so hard for the priority pick is not because they wanted Boyd, they're confident Hogan will be the better player, but because they knew they could pretty much name their price with a side like the Bulldogs.

His best footy is in front of him, after all.

If he made those comments, he is a dead set [censored]!

If you haven't reached your potential in 10 years that means you weren't good enough.. Or put the work in to do so!

Catch Col!

I very nearly fell into the temptation to post a nasty derogatory piece yesterday & pulled back.

its over.

let him go, we are far better off now, grown from all that has past, including & especially mitch robinson's 'bruise free' comments about us! very helpful re our changes coming to bear.

thanks mitch

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
