Hang on, so a thread in the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board on a WCE player is fine but a thread on the Melbourne Demons women’s team is moved from this thread and consigned to a board no one reads?

Doesn't make sense to me.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It’s relevant because he’s going to be playing for us in 2027.

Well I'll spell it out for you then.  It is obvious because there was a lot of discussion about how we could or even should manage to draft him.  So there was emotional investment by many of the board members (not me BTW, I stay away from drafting details because I haven't the foggiest). 

So it is natural/reasonable that there is extra interest in 'the one that got away'.  I suppose when he turns out to be a dud, you'll criticise anyone posting how lucky we were to dodge that bullet.  With luck you won't open the thread.

Harley-lujah

No serious damage to him in the end.

Moving on, how is the DP no 2 going?

[jnrmac 20,375]

Gee, three first round draft picks would have been handy right about now for WCE....

[Little Goffy 14,963]

This is in danger of becoming the new 'death ride' thread.

To date, Reid's career at the Eagles has been week one hamstring awareness and week two heavily iced corked thigh. 

I think it is time someone return the off-brand voodoo doll they ordered from Temu.

Hopefully these injuries are a result of acclimatising to rigorous afl training rather than durability issues. I would hate to see the young man’s career cruelled by injury.

I dont think rigorous AFL training has been on  their agenda for some years now. All sun, surf and KFC buffets over there.

That's it, you open your wishing out loud, they hang it on the wall for that week and injuries galore and possible loss.

Actually feel concerned for the kid.  The media interest in him worse than Watt's got.  He's being the next Nic Nat (I assume cult hero of club) and they are even posting about where he could be getting his coffee etc.

Given the decaying state of the senior players and their clubs inability to get them healthy, the attention is on him.  

 

I hope he has an amazing support network to deal with it.

You have to get them ordered by the club doctor.

Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition.
