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.


Welcome Clayton looking forward to explosions in the middle.

 

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

I was thinking of starting tonight

Welcome to Melbourne Clayton

I look forward to 10 years of Oliver vs Parish threads

Buckle up kid, and whatever you do stay away from Demonland

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
