Garner? Wooller?  Midfield runner needed.

Can't understand why I'm excited about it. I'll be sitting on the edge of my couch when our picks come around, heart rate climbing, maybe a bit of sweat on the brow, in nervous anticipation of pi

Wayne Carey, only shorter and I’m not sure what position he plays.

I can't wait to form an opinion on each of the draftees based on their 3 minute highlight clips and then stubbornly refuse to change it for the rest of their careers.

Every draft seems to have a few surprising names to miss but if every club passes them up then that has to tell you something....

Fantastic that Hamish Brayshaw has a gig with WCE so will be in WA with his brother, Andy at Freo.

Very happy for the Brayshaw family.

Far too nice, LH.  Ruins our chance of luring Andrew back in two years time! ;)

Yes needed Baker. There’s a spot there if he’s good enough. I have seen in the NEAFL and has the pace required.  A good pickup in the end.

If we get one player out of this lot we have done well.

It's a numbers game at these picks...we had 3-4 picks so to get 1 B to B+ level player would be a good result, 2 exceptional.

Lets hope.

They are trying to recreate our success of 2013.

I’m happy for Barry, but that is taking the [censored] by Port.

They aren't the only ones that have scavenged on the carcasses of our pretendergasting.

Now Port have 4 ex dees on their list!

Watts, Trengove, Toumpas, Barry

All first round draft picks that we on-traded for steak knives, or delisted.

Apart from Barry, they were top three no less.

    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
