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

Righto, I'll have a go since there are prizes on offer -

Caleb Poulter, Jack Carroll, Kaine Baldwin,  pass

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

Patience my friend. They will all come good putting pressure on  the older guys.

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:

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • 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.
