    I think this time I tend to agree with you. There was just so much failure by this club over the last period of years, it is just not worth getting upset over.

    We all know we stuffed up on so many counts, recruiting, coaching , administration etc, etc, etc.

    We now have a capable CEO and a good Coach and some recruits who seem to be up to it and some trades who are better than what we had. Out list is better, our attitude is better, our optimism is up, let's move on and look forward to a better future.

    Hey Redleg all I did was ask a question I made no judgement no analysis just a question

    People like you and Saty seem to have agendas that go way past my simple mind, my question was answered and big thanks to those who read the post and answered it Geesssus!

    Jesse's extension would give me an 'extension'.

    Even the thought of it excites me.

    Isn't it wonderfull that that one one word seems to have largely withstood the onslaught of the American "cultural" invasion.

    I was perusing some draft history last night trying to figure where we went wrong in terms of draft outcomes selections etc

    One thing that did stand out was 2011 national Draft

    1) Available selections - Our first pick was 36 Taggert games 0

    - Our seconf pick was 52 Tynan games 2

    - Our third pick was 54 Sellar games 23

    2) Rookies all failed

    3) No preseason selections

    My memory has failed me Why didnt we get a higher selection? Did we lose selections for some infraction?

    Given that we finished 12th something must have happened?

    The draft itself was considered the worst in recent years. A friend working as a scout/ recruiter for an AFL club told me prior that it was as deep as the top 15 at best and after that clubs were practically guessing (if you get my drift).

    So as for Taggert, Tynan and Sellar being busts I can't really blame the recruiters on this one. Looking at the draft now the only really good quality picks amongst the vast range of later selections would have been Michael Talia and Lachie Neale.

    Then Todd Viney took over in 2012 and suddenly we started drafting like a professional club

    Jimmy Toumpas, Jack Viney, Jesse Hogan, Dean Kent, Dom Barry, Matt Jones, Dean Terlich

    Might go down as the draft that saved our club and set up future success.

    Sorry but that's a pretty bad list. Toumpas Barry Jones and terlich all major duds

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
