I enjoy this thread, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable reminding me a bit of the days when we pinned our hopes on an early draft pick messiah.

    That is not the vibe I get. 
    It’s about getting maximum return for a player we spent pick 3 on and also laughing at Freo after they tried to screw us.

    It's also about poking fun at a pig-headed club and list manager.

    We could actually win the whole bloody thing this year, while Taylor sets us up for the next decade with picks 4, 18 and 22. Get excited Sue.

    oh I am.  Just this nagging feeling about over reliance on hanging out for picks in the past. Not relevant now.

    I hope the swans win today but I have this terrible premonition that Freo may win.

    I like this thread because i get to laugh and cheer on another clubs' misfortune. A misfortune that we get to benefit from. It's great fun. Petty and mean-spirited fun for sure but great fun, nonetheless.

    I know I'm being extremely pedantic but in fact there will be 19 spots between the draft picks we get from Fremantle assuming North finish below Fremantle (a pretty safe assumption). This Special assistance pick comes in just below North's 2nd Round pick (which they traded to Adelaide). Ironically this extra pick was traded to Fremantle.

    So, based on Fremantle finishing 14th (where they are now) and Melbourne being Premiers, Melbourne's picks will be 5, 18, 24, 37, 91. Who knows how many father/son and academy selections push the higher picks down and pick 91 up? (not that we're likely to use our 5th round pick). I'm hoping we pick up Kynan Brown as a father/son. Not sure how high he will go.

    Go Swannies (for this week at least!).

    Tom McCartin out. No McCartins, Reid or Rampe.

    Tough ask. Here’s hoping.

    Swans 18 to Dockers 7, 25mins into first.

    19 to 7 at 1/4 time.

    I actually don’t mind Sydney but find it almost impossible to go for a team with Tom Papley in it.

    Neither of these teams will play finals thats for sure.

    Freo getting more of the pill but their ball movement is so predicable. Swans not very inspiring either.

    that umpire is a clown. 

    I take that back. Blakey is a clown

    Swans very poor. The mids are getting taken to the cleaners and they can't move the ball.

    Freo much the better team. They should win but they are always liable to shoot themselves in the foot so you never know.

    45 to 32 in favour of Freo at the half.

    Tom McCartin pulls out, Mills off early 1st quarter and Sydney seem to have stopped.

    Hopefully big Swans second half.

    17 free to Freeo in the first half

    5 fifty metre penalties given

    quality umpiring!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
