Anyone still think we got screwed on Howe? We plugged pick 29 directly in to a trade we were going to use Howe in. That was his market value. Anyone also still care that we used 25 instead of 29 for

you can almost include Petracca in this draft lot,

Petracca and Oliver = Engine room for the next 10 years

Hogan and Weiderman = key forwards for the next 10 years

just to reiterate the obvious:

next year's inclusions to the side are Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg, Oliver, Weideman, Petracca and Trengove

not too shabby

seriously, how good is this midfield group?

According to Sam landsberger, "Essendon stole the show with seven shrewd selections", please let this be another wines/toumpas fiasco... Also they hardly stole the show, a lightly framed mid who displays no exceptional speed, endurance or skill and a utility whom most are unsure as to where he will play at afl level. If anything I think Brisbane had a great draft. Notwithstanding getting Schache - the tall toward they desperately needed - securing academy players Eric Hipwood and then Ben Keays (who i think will be a gun) the latter much later than predicted allowing them to swoop on Rhys Mathieson with pick 39 (painfully close to our 3rd pick), allowed them to adress their needs whilst avoiding any strong go home factorr, all in all a great draft for the lions.

I assume he's just another essendrugs supporter, so what's the point, just another garbage journalist spewing out biased cr*p. I'm surprised he didn't take a pot at melbourne whilst he was at it, then he'd have all bases covered.

Something that is bugging me and is hardly related to the MFC but really gets me is why the hell SOS is rated so highly as a recruiter! he's screwed up so many more picks than he's gotten right.

2012 he grabbed...1: Whitfield ( looks good but obvious choice )

2:O'rourke ( gone to hawks after showing little )

3: Plowman ( gone to blues after showing little )

12: Jacksh ( gone to blues after showing little )

14: Corr ( looks okay, but not standing out )

2013 1. Boyd ( gone to dogs after showing little )

2. Kelly ( looks a player but obvious pick 2 )

14: McCarthey ( good but wants out already )

2014 4. Picket ( eh, did he even play? )

6. Marchbank ( looks okay )

7. Ahern ( meh )

11 selections inside the top 14 in 3 years and imo 2 players that look like long term giants is a Melbourne-like result.

hope his strike rate is better at the blues, for their sake.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
