hey moonie, i resemble that statement

Now don't get selfish DC, I think we all resemble that statement - childish, invertebrate, weirdos, perverts....

Haaaang on a minute.......doesn't Moonie frequent those parts when he's off the gimp chains?

Pot. Kettle. Effin Charcoal !

I hope that is true. Tomlinson is going to be a very good player.

Then why do you want him to go to Carlton?

Looks like Carlton are going to haul in 4 or 5 GWS boys with just two picks

I have no idea if any of them are any good or not

I believe the bookies have the Northern Blues sitting as firm favourite for the VFL premiership at this early stage.

Dees cocked up with Toump - but 2012 is a horror draft for GWS.

- pick 1 Whitfield - looks good but no Wines, Macrae or Stringer.

- pick 2 O'Rourke - bust

- pick 3 Plowman - bust - now bundled up with 4 other (Summner former pick 10) to Blues for Pick in late 20's!

- pick 12 Jaksch - bust

And now SOS is trusted to rebuild Carlton's list!

Its great that they fluffed so many high picks considering how many they were given.

Not to mention a certain other #1 pick who signed a 6 year 6 millon dollar deal and has done sweet F.A for them

Its ok, he has the trusted brains of Barry Prendergast to bounce ideas off of.

Yep and his fat dad - earning his $100k p.a scouting o'rourke, plowman and jaksch.

If only we'd had time last year to offload Howe for pick 7 and $650k p.a into their cap.

Not really, SOS is just bringing the rejects he recruited down to the Blues to further continue their ineptness.

Memories of Craig Cameron drafting Maric, twice.

I think GWS want to get their deal done with Carlton. Could still be done late today if the blues deal gets done early

That deal is apparently agreed at a second round pick. Why would it have anything to do with Bugg to us?

On another note Plowman is a bigger bust than Toumpas, as he went 3 in the same draft and is now being bundled up with 3 other players for a single 2nd rounder.

It does make the Roos philosophy of trading picks for established players fully understandable, due to the uncertainty of the draft.

People have gushed over high draft picks, yet so many and especially in our case, have proved to be abject disasters.

We have decimated our list by poor draft selections and at least Roos will have turned over 75% of our list by this next ND. ATM our list is looking far better than it was 2 years ago.

You don't go anywhere without them though 'Red'.

I'm happy to have Salem, Brayshaw, Petracca and Hogan on board.

Established players such as Michie, Riley, Newton and Ben Kennedy? He's just pulling names out of a hat as far as I can tell.

If he keeps trying, perhaps eventually he'll find another Josh Kennedy, but I don't like his chances.

You don't go anywhere without good players. That doesn't necessarily mean early draft picks.

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
