The consensus amongst commentators (apart from that stroker Duh-Wayne) is that the MFC have the most promising set of youngsters.

I reckon Jesse knows this too.

Don't know about that mate, extremely bold statement!

The consensus among comentators? it would go something like this IMO:

1. GWS

2. Gold Coast

3. Western Bulldogs

4. St Kilda

5. Melbourne

lol, it's not what i believe. Just the impression I've got from listening to people in the media.

You've made my day Bub.

Heard from the axiomatic 'reliable source' that Roosy is currently walking around with a smile he just can't wipe of his face. Apparently he is pretty chuffed at landing another 'big fish', which will be announced when the time is right.

I just hope my 'reliable source' is correct.

You have just raised the expectations of all demonlanders. I was getting depressed over the silence at Melbourne. Now I am excited. If this is a rumour and not fact, you will be tracked down and shot at dawn or slowly tortured.

We beat 3 of those sides and lost to the other by 2 points.

Apart from the Dogs, there's not a great deal in it.

I was merely suggestinv how foolish the media are. Not having a go at yoyrself.

My point is simply...the dynamics of lists now as compared to final lodgement can be quite different.

Ours will be :)

Do I get a last wish?

Of course you do ivá. Given the consequences of a wrong prediction, your last wish is obvious I would have thought. Perhaps Roosy was smiling with the thought of getting away from Melbourne and landing the big fish in the waters off Hawaii. Of course if your prediction is right, you will go from martyr to hero straight away.

Not my prediction Ernest. It comes from my 'reliable source'

i'va, you mentioned earlier the 'big fish' player responsible for Roos' 'cheshire cat' type smile will be revealed when the time is right.

Can you tell us roughly when that will be...the anticipation is killing me!

Thanks iv'a...does that mean he is be playing this weekend :rolleyes:...rhetorical question!

Whoever it is we are doing a damn good job of keeping it quiet!

BTW I did hesitate posing that rhetorical question for fear it will set all the DL's player wishes off the scale.

Then I thought 'what the heck' it gives people a new line of speculation for the next few weeks!

I once predicted the fall of the Roman Empire. Seriously, I have no information other than what my snout gave me. That's all.

on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being 'Paul Roos' and 1 being 'some random down at the pub' what score would you give your source? :D

    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.
