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.

  • Quote

    17 free to Freeo in the first half

    5 fifty metre penalties given

    quality umpiring!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
