    LOL. Our pick didn't even want to leave his mum's side for the draft. 😂

    Are we needing to worry about this kid wanting to go home in a few years or will he hang around?

    He is from Esperance which is 700km away from Perth.

    Won’t waste my time next year either. The whole world knew we were taking this unlikely pairing even before St. Cal pronounced over the weekend. Need to keep our hand better hidden.

    Met Windsor’s grandfather in the newsagent last week. He was super excited but said Caleb was a big Magpie supporter 😟

    Ah well, so was Trac.

    [censored] me the draft is painful viewing these days. Do we really need Ben Dixon acting awkward and the kids saying "Yeah nah looking forward to meeting all the boys" and "I model my game on [insert A+ grade player the vast majority will never get near] after every single pick. Can understand it maybe for Harley Reid and leave it at that. The academy bids and pick swaps just elongate it even further. Geelong's pick wasted a good 15 minutes of my life. All that just for us to get the two kids Cal Twomey and everyone else knew we were getting anyway.

    I remember the good old days of 2003 where you could tune in to the audio on afl.com.au and the first round was done in two minutes. TWENTY YEARS AGO and it was light years ahead of what we get these days.

    Cal’s tipped every pick aside from the trades and Gothard in the first 16. Teams and player managers all leak it

    Apparently, every club in the top 10 needs to do a better job then, because it played out almost exactly like most phantoms.

    And why are you whinging? We got the two guys we wanted...

    The rules changed. We missed Mac by one year. Could not bid inside the top 20. Mac went 5. The suns have their own set of rules

    Did the rules only change for the one season? Because the year before Mac Andrew the doggies took Ugle Hagan as an academy player with pick 1!

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
