True, but we have plenty of his type.  

Some would say two ruckman is plenty also wise

awkward face in that interview... can't say he looks stoked to be a dee. really hope that they've done the right thing here!

 

he's moving across the country in a couple of days now, pretty daunting for an 18 year old kid.

What do you want the bloke to do?  Cartwheels?  Pull the back of his jumper up to show a Dees tattoo at the small of his back?

Jesus.

 

Jesus Christ, I’m usually a bit of a pessimistic supporter, but some of you lot are next level.

Hope he doesn't decide to join Jesse in a couple of years.

Case of repeating history and hoping for a different outcome

 There's a name for this behaviour

Unless we already realise that Preuss will be nothing more than handy depth.  This bloke has the capacity, with the right development, to be an absolute star.

Gunna call it now, happy to be on record. we're nuts if we don't bid on Green with pick 3 

 

We might get him with pick 10.

I can already see after years of development he will be requesting a trade back to WA.

History tells me we just [censored] this pick up the wall.

we'll have to wait and see 3D

There's some very long bows being drawn here.

No they will use their fodder to counter Ron...we might but the horse bolted after pick 3 and we handed them Ash as well.

As much as I don't like it it makes sense, he will peak as Maxy starts to wain, can offer something in the interim. And will be injury insurance.

It's a no brainer really, not withstanding his enormous ceiling.

 

As for go home factor, it's a load of [censored]. If you don't back yourself in to convincing someone to stay your [censored] before you start.

We let Jesse go, and for good reason.

Listen, regardless of how we feel about this pick right now, the least we can do is get behind the kid.  He clearly has some attributes that can make him a star and, until we see him in a few years time, I think we can at least try and hold off on the wrist slashing.


With pith 10 let’s target a tall defender to take over from May, think about it, we’ll be set with a fullback for the next 10-12 years.

Did you see his face? It’s obvious to me that he is going to get us into a grand final in 2021, and with the opportunity to kick the winning goal, will turn on an angle and kick the ball straight into the crowd, just to mess with us. He will also steal some people here’s superannuation in a Ponzi scheme.

Haven't been around here for a while, but good to see Wiseblood back to his optimistic best!

Agree.   Whether us fanatical long suffering Dees members think someone else should be picked, Luke Jackson is now a Demon and we need to support him to deliver us the holy grail.  

The kid might be a player one day, but right now we are a team devoid of skill, we need classy ball users, I wish him well but I think we should of went the other way.

I'll be honest and say that I wasn't all the enamored with this selection a few weeks ago, and I'm still warming up to it.  

But it just seems childish to knock the club or the pick until we see the outcome, which is still a fair way down the track.

What's wrong with Ricky Jackson....he's obviously shot up a bit (but not in Richmond backstreets).

Good luck to him and I hope he does really well for us. 
 

I am only concerned if we don’t perform he will off to the weagles as he said Peter Sumich is his mentor who he will remain in contact with and that his fav player is Nic Nat. 
 

U can bet Sumich will be pushing for him to go to the weagles especially if we are still crap like this season.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
