It’s going to be a boring to watch but I’m still looking forward to it. Excited to see who’s the lucky draftee is that gets to join our young and talented list. 

How things have changed these past few years. The Grand Final is now our GF, not draft day.

I’ll be tuning in tonight, purely to hear us being congratulated for winning the 2021 premiership.

One of the results of the Covid19 pandemic is that it will take a while before the outcome of last year’s AFL National Draft can be judged. And if 2020 turned out to be an enigma for recruiters then t

How nice is it that the draft night is not one of the biggest things on our footy calendar?!  We are not having to find the club’s saviour.

That is what I said in point 3) of the post you quoted but curiously deleted it from the quoted post 🤔  

The deleted part of my post is below.

There are many permutations of pick swaps for us and other clubs and yeah giving up pick 17 for two in the low 20's is one. 

Honestly didn't see any point 3 when I quoted you. At the very least I didn't intentionally delete it.

You know we won the flag when I only just realised it's draft night because Kayo popped up with a reminder on my phone.

What a time to be alive!

Horne-Francis looked the most unimpressed person to be taken at Number 1 in the draft I think I have ever seen.

On the AFL website they have done the top 10

Sorry I misread it. They were saying will they go as predicted and listed club and player.

Mac Andrew to the Gold Coast. Bad luck for the kid. From a selfish perspective increases the chances of him coming home to us after 2 years or when the suns are disbanded

Nothing surer. He will be in Melbourne (city) in 3 years.

Thought the same MadAsHell - Seriously death by a thousand lashes would be welcomed rather than watching this waffling dribble.

If this is the best night of the year for Cal Twomey then I am intrigued to know what a bad night for him could look like.......

Not sure he isn't happy, I just fink he might be a foody player first and fourmost.

Blake Howes looks a pretty safe pick as predicted on the phantoms.  Any one got any late mail as to our first choice? 

All depends what the Giants do with their next pick.

Twomey has the first 10 spot on. Would be a hell of a lot quicker and better if they just let him run through his selections as the draft.

Given how many kids we had out there, the grand final was not that far off our draft day!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
