Dr.D
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I think Twomey has got a very very good insight once again. 

Crows and Eagles next picks. 

Leaves us with choices around pick  #23

Bailey Williams

Xavier O’halloran 

Ed McHenry 

Ely Smith

Then probably look at these guys with pick #28

Tom Mckenzie

Fraser Turner

Jacob Kennerley 

Riley Bowman (if we don’t get Bailey Williams).

    Live trading was trialed last night, then abandoned because the internet kept crashing.

    " The AFL told clubs on Wednesday night they would fix the problem but a back-up plan would be for the clubs to lodge their picks by pen and paper with AFL-employed runners scuttling  along the corridors from club boxes to the AFL hub."

    That will make for entertaining viewing, Not.

    Beggars belief that they left it until the Eve of the draft to trial the system in 'real-time'!

    Not really Lucifer.

    Often think that professional sports bodies appear to be very professional but the reality is often very different. 

    Look no further than AFL, CA, FFA, NRL etc.

    True.

    I may be getting old earnest - there was a time, not that long ago, when new systems would be tested under various conditions and scenarios over and over again before declaring them 'ready to go'.  Smacks of incompetence to leave the 'real-time' trial to the last minute.

    Will there be runner cam? What happens if the runner does a hammy and doesn't submit the pick in time?

    Maybe the NGA bids can be settled by whichever club's runner gets to Gill first. Would be better than the GF sprint.

    I think I prefer this system tbh...

    Does anyone know if it is going to be streamed through the AFL live app? I have nothing so far.

    Edit: with the live pass that is.

    Disregard, it's up.

    I hope those runners obey the new rules, and only enter into the fray, when play has stopped.!

    And being forced to play for Carlscum because you have been labelled “Really Good”

    Gold Coast pick two SA guys.... it's like a horror movie on repeat

    I suppose the thinking is that there are only two clubs likely to poach them whereas there are 10 for the Melbourne lads.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
