Brett Anderson just tweeted me back an emphatic Oliver to go at 3/4 to Dee's. Looks like that ones a given. Question now turns to 7

    If we take Oliver I'll be a bit smug because as soon as I saw his highlights (I know it's hard to read a lot into them) I rated him highly.

    We all will.

    As if we were the only one who did.

    The difference is when I saw his highlights he wasn't rated a top pick.

    Is that a difference?

    I think most people thought the same.

    Still find all this last minute interest in Oliver really unusual. Have to wonder if this is some kind of plan from Essendon.

    Mark Neeld would want Parish over Ollie wouldn't he

    not sure if already mentioned, but oliver actually has a persistent/chronic groin issue and didn't train much his year, as in he just rocked up to games and played. (three of my mates who are getting drafted next year who play against and with him told me this).

    A bit risky imo

    Don't forget I agreed with you soon after...

    He has been doing a pre season program given to him by the bushies and one on one work with a personal trainer aswell.

    His body is injury free.

    The suggestion that our interest in and decision to select a particular player in the National Draft being dictated by another club is absurd in the extreme.

    Let me ask you this, what plans have Melbourne made for other clubs to select which players?

    Olisik just had one of the all time great orgasms. Well done son.

    Oh, and welcome Clayton. I reckon you'll be a gem!

    alright lets hope this pick works out. SEN said his mum is in tears. I hope thats because her son got drafted and not because melbourne got him.

    Looking forward to seeing what this kid can do.

    How long until there is a thread saying we should have drafted Darcy Parish? Too soon?

    I was thinking of starting tonight

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
