* bid Gulden

Poulter

Bowey

(* both Gulden and Coleman are excellent youngsters but imv bids are definitely going to be matched... but we may as well force swans and lions to use points) 

Please no more Cook"s

    lock it in, there is magic in the air!

    Would love this outcome, also wouldn't mind if Carroll was substituted in for one of the latter two.

    Ford and Winder now gone. Thought we might have stole one with our last pick.

    I can go one better a best 44 now that the draft is over. By the way rapt with the picks speed and class on the wing and forward pocket just what I was hoping for.

    2 out of 3.  Mccrae was a bit of a pipe dream, and had no idea about our late bolter.  Laurie and Bowie are excellent selections (although I thought they would have been selected differently, with Laurie earlier and Bowie sliding to our later pick - but What do I know??).  Happy with what we have achieved over the trade and draft period.  Our result in 2021 will be based on our current list stepping up more than a new kid doing a Rowell for us, so these kids have time.  Like the focus on footy smarts and kicking skills, can only make us better.

    I can't believe that 14 hours after Old Dee posted this no-one has responded with the obvious rejoinder:

    "Too many Cooks spoil the broth".

    There. It's done now.

    Well done to both these  posters on getting 2 out of the 3 selections correct.

    But there can only be ONE WINNER of the  @WERRIDEEsigned and framed Best 22 plaque (now includes bonus best 22 for Casey, bringing the grand total to a best 44)

    The winner is buck_nekkid

    Like deebug he chose 2 of the 3 draftees correctly, but got the Laurie pick spot on for our second selection

    deebug a very worthy Runner up

    Just for you I have change the 44 because Goodwin has it in his mind that McDonald is a forward. So no backline action for him.

    Bowey straight into the team in the wing!! That’s “Optimistic or misti-optic” as Dennis Cometti would say !!!  
    I think he will have a development year and more likely Laurie will get a game in the seniors mid-late in 2021. But given the glaring gap in our team for a quality wingman opposite Langdon, you might be right.

    @WERRIDEE, i like that you took a few big risks at selection for the nekkid memorial team.  Here’s my ‘nearest to the pin’ version:

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
