He rated him so highly yet he still chose Josh Tynan at Pick 52. Prendergast is a [censored] id iot.

And long ago we could have had James Hird at 80+ and Chris Grant at 100+ if I recall correctly. 
So many recruiters from every club passed over both of them multiple times.

But of course had the originator of this post been our recruiting manager all along, we would have the whole bloody AA team.

Grain of salt, surely? We supposedly had so many other players on our radar. Rory Sloane is often mentioned. Would he or Neale have been lost to the game early if we got them under the Bailey/Neeld/Schwab era?

Oh look at all the spilled milk flowing under the bridge. 

Let's look to the future and don't worry about things that could have happened but didn't, and we (the fans) had no control over. Why bring it up? To stick the boot in us? 

I'm looking forward to Trak improving even more next year and the whole team following him. Brownlow Medal and Premiership 2021 campaign already underway.?

Melbourne are masters of their own destiny. Just do it!

Yep, he really rated him 'dazz'.

 Mitch Clark, Rory Taggert, Josh Tynan, James Sellar, Jay Sheehan, Tom Couch, James Magner, Leigh Williams and Mark Neeld. Forgotten how disastrous the recruiting was in 2011.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
