The problem I have with the AFL is that is makes up its policy on the run. There is no consistency in its decision-making and no accountability. This effectively diminishes the competition and turns i

Here's something that should be on the minds of Melbourne supporters instead of this Gold Coast package fluff. How about some energy and attention goes toward the pending decisions that will be m

What pisses me is that whoever GC takes with P2 will end up at Hawthorn or Richmond etc in a couple of years time

Massive news! this changes things considerably.. we keep pick 2 and get one of the guns or our Pick 2 is more valuable than any other pick.

Teeming hordes in red and blue pouring into Gosch's as I type. Cops concerned about riots, civil disobedience. Stock markets plummeted. Premier kept notified of developments.

I may have read this wrong. Are they getting pick 1 and 2 or not. They said they weren't on trade radio.

Yep, their priority pick is pick 2.

 They are getting a great ride here by the AFL

Incredible hand out considering some of the blame for their position should be on the Suns. Eg trading Lyons.

Yeah very misleading that first tweet. They get picks 1 & 20 as compo picks, then their real pick is pick #2.

They had me at hello, and flipped the script.

Let's not sugar coat it.

First and last picks in round 1 this year then a middle round 1 pick next year and another end of first round the following year

They can call it round 2 all they want but it's essentially 4 first round picks

It's three years of draft assistance includes:

  • Picks No.1 and No.2 at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
  • The first pick of the second round (currently pick No.20) at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
  • Mid first-round pick (currently pick No.11) at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft.
  • The first pick of the second round (currently Pick.19) at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft

That is two priority picks this year.  One at the start and one at the end of round 1.  The public dialogue was about either the start or the end.  Staggering that they get both!

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
