Fun fact (if it's true)...

Every team that has drafted a Rioli has won the #AFLGFAFLFinals_2018.png within 3 years. 1990: Hawks draft Willie Sr. Win ‘91 flag. 1998: Dons (rookie) draft Dean. Win ‘00 flag. 2007: Hawks draft Cyril. Win ‘08 flag. 2015: Tigers draft Daniel. Win ‘17 flag. 2016: Eagles draft Willie. ‘18 flag?

...been saying this for a while, serious x-factor but has been passed over for Higgins.

Worth a look.

He's too introverted.

And every one of us has been lamenting taking Toumpas (a running outside mid) over Wines (the slow competitive type we are stacked with) for years.

We can’t have it every way.

Ok, well let’s not recruit any fast, skilful players because one we did Pick was a spud. 

Let’s go and find more Tysons & Maynards because we mustn’t have enough of those slow, unskilful types.

I would back the MFC to be the exception to this rule should we ever draft a rioli. That damned Norm Smith curse.

We need a couple badly.   You won't find too many Premiership winning teams, or even runners up, that didn't have some indigenous magic on the park.

It will be the icing on our team of big contested ball winning brutes.

I want another Aaron Davey, a Jeff Farmer and their sons.

I believe we once went to the draft intending to pick up a Rioli, but the dyslexic recruiter read out Rigoni instead.*

* no disrespect to Riggers, one of my favourites!

That is not what I said. Drafting is a complicated art.

We need fast skilful players but they have to meet other critearia and be obtained at a fair selection / price

Jeffy is still on our list, whether or not the magic has gone from him remains to be seen. But I do agree that I would like to see us look at recruiting a skilful fast indigenous player, there’s no doubt they seem to have some kind of magic that’s impossible to describe. 

I’d love an Aaron Davey v2!

Wonder if hes available?

Gold Coast still have so much talent.  Can you blame their kids for not flourishing up there?

If we could get Martin and Koladlaldashnij it would be huge.

May, Martin & Kolo for Pick 5 + 2019 1st round :D

Looking at the state leagues top goal kickers.

Shane McAdam - my mail is Carlton pick and trade him back to the Crows

Tyson Strengle - out of contract Tiger rumoured to go to the Crows

Anyone in the West know anything about Cody Ninyette or Michael Bennell?

When is Farmer's son eligible for the draft?

Jack Martin is going nowhere.

Lots of speculation linking him to Essendon, but can't imagine GC would let him go cheaply. Another coming out of contract in 2019.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
