As much as I'm on this ‘death ride’ with the rest of ya’s, it’s sorta morphed into a Jackson bashing session.  Remember it’s about where Freo finish this season.  Jackson might be dealing personal

I like this. This is one of the more reasonable posters over in purple land on Bigfooty.      Melbourne laughing at us. Langdon for peanuts now Jackson for 2 firsts (one looking low!) plus

I'm positive that's exactly how he would spell it.

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.

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 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.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
