I was at Marvel Stadium yesterday and first time I watched Mac Andrew livevand he certainly stood out. He will become a star defensive footballer. Maybe he can be lured to Princes Park post 2025 ... 🤔😁

So he was part of the Dees NGA academy? Might mean he has some positive connections with MFC. The Dees should definitely work on trying to get him to MFC!

Who knows. I hate all teams except Melbourne on different scales. Perhaps it's the team you hate least?

Historically my second team is whoever is playing Collingwood, so I last week I probably could have been swayed into buying a GC membership.

I have heaps of second teams. 

Whoever is playing against Collingwood.

Whoever is playing against Celtic. 

Whoever is playing against England. 

Whoever is playing against an NFC Central team that isn't the Packers.

Harry Mckay would have been nice at pick 9 instead on Sam Weidemann in the 2015 draft.

 

McKay x 2, Curnow, Hipwood, Himmelberg... any of them

We do tend to dwell on that draft quite a bit. 
Just had a look at Cal top 30 draft ratings a couple of weeks before the draft. He had Curnow one spot ahead of Sam at 8&9. This was a week before Curnow was done for drink driving and I think there was question marks over his attitude. Hipwood was 14 and Harry and Ben were 21&24. 
He also had Clayton Oliver at 11. We took him at pick 4. Cal had another tall in Josh Schache rated as the 4th best in the draft. 
 

Of course we with hindsight we would have been better taking one of those other talls before Sam but we also could have taken Schache instead of Oliver. 
 

In 2017 we picked Spargo at pick 29. Tom De Koning went the pick after. 


You can always look back and say we could have picked player x instead of player y, can’t always get them right and picking Sam seems to be in line with the player ratings at the time.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
