Hopefully we can euthanise this thread soon.

Not I hope before I can mount a detailed argument in favour of the neglected squashed fly biscuits.

Cant believe how little some posters know about biscuits.....

To rate Milk Arrowroots as worthy of being on that list says to me you couldn't pick a biscuit from a cupcake.

Seriously, im losing my faith in Melbourne supporters.

Total nonsense. It's a non-offensive biscuit and its versatility is endless for instance crumbling them up to make rumballs, a famous Layzie family recipe.

But hey by all means continue to twist your Oreos or any of the other cardboard on this list. Seems some people have a lot to learn about biscuits..

I think a few are underrating how good a 23yo who has missed a couple of years of footy will be.

I know you don't like statistical comparisons but maybe an interesting maturity comparison is Jack Reiwoldt who was a petulant, sulking, selfish player at a similar age.

We're not losing Jack Watts here, this is a serious talent.

We need to be well compensated if he moves on.

I fully understand the sentiment rjay,..really I do . Talent is talent...and talent alone..   His application is not consistent. He may well have a few more gears there....  but he'd need to engage the clutch.  He has a problem with it slipping ;)

You’ll never find less of a watts fan than I - but lacking in talent he was not. Highly talented in fact. All came down to work rate with him, which is starting to looking the same with hogan in some ways, but hogan has already far surpassed anything we ever got out of watts.

But he's very familiar with rolling darts... I mean starts ?

So to make an Arrowroot palatable, you have to mix it with other stuff.... kinda reinforces my point. By itself its the very definition of vanilla. Its the type that can only kick one sided and it has no tricks.  

Stick to Football Layzie, you re clearly out of your depth when it comes to biscuits.

 

Just looking at Steven May BnF results, in 2017 finished 9th, this year didn't make the top 10. Pick 5?

On form, he's not worth a first round pick, let alone pick 5. He's not in the top 5 full backs in the league at present. He's been poor-average for the past 1-2 years. Most believe that's due to not wanting to be where he is now, but there's the chance he's just not capable of playing the way he did a few years ago. 

If all we got for the best young key forward in a decade was an average full back and a token pick I'd be very disappointed.

Well it might be vanilla but people still like vanilla ice cream don't they? :p

One man's biscuit is another man's .......

I make chocolate crackles, I hear the odd laugh and guffaw but I make mine with finely grated dark chocolate and Drambuie, in my mind that is a biscuit!

It needs to be taken to the people. With a vote. Not some whizkid behind a laptop writing content for a hip blogging site..

i'm guessing the deals essentially hinge on beams trade happening

my guesses are:
- beams and 2018 third round pick to pies for 2018 first rounder (currently pick 18) and future first 
- 5 and pick 18 from bears to freo for neale
- 5 and pick 23 to melbourne for hogan
- 5 to crows for 8 and 13
- 8 and future third to gc17 for may and kk
- may and kk for pick 5, future 3rd rounder

net results:
- pies get beams and the filth's 2018 third rounder
- bears get neale and pies' future first
- freo get hogan, pick 18
- crows get pick 5
- gc17 get 8 and mfc's future third 
- melbourne get may, kk, pick 13 and pick 23

You have to view that in terms of what it was in response to DC. ?

Am I going crazy but in what world is Lachie Neale worth more than Jesse Hogan? 

Like seriously.... 

1 is a decent mid who is an accumulator who has happened to win 2 B & F's at a rabble club whilst never coming top 10 in the Brownlow. 

the other is a 23 year old key forward who has the best numbers at this age as any key forward in the league. Once in a generation player. The thought that Freo will get Hogan & Change for Neale makes me want to spew. 

I simply do not get it....

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
