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.

    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!

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
