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.

  • Quote

    Swans have no zip at all. Very lethargic effort so far.

    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.

  • Quote

    17 free to Freeo in the first half

    5 fifty metre penalties given

    quality umpiring!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
