If. there's any chance Ricky will be picked inside the top 40 in his draft year, I recommend the following strategy:

Ricky plays a maximum of 3 games between now and then.  In those games, he must strictly adhere to the following: he must only kick or handball on his non-preferred side, he must wear his shoes on the wrong feet, he must be played in the ruck and have gastro.

Welcome to the Dees Ricky!

    Now were are talking. Such practices can assist to assure we get the recruits we need and want, as the icing on the cake, well-constructed by the layering, delicious recruiting talents at the MFC in an oven environment that is far too hot. Mentha also needs to be encouraged to put on a junkload of excess kilos across the next recruiting period, develop facial acne, get a really bad haircut and wear dark glasses in attempts to secure his place with the Dees - developing enormous loyalties to the Club in the process. A good, sharp and demanding pre-season will ameliorate such physical deteriorations, readying for a gentle reality check on how good it would be to be a Demon - and he should be Ours to snap up.

    Except for the fact that had we drafted Mac Andrew, we would have missed out on JvR so I don't think we were screwed over at all. GC17 did us a favour taking him.

    The Northern Territory where he initially grew up is part of our NGA zone.

    And what for practical purposes does that even mean?  We can find it but can’t benefit from it?

    Seriously though.

    Wasn't the AFL going to review the NGA rules and make them a bit more friendly towards the southern states?

    I guess it will tweak all it can now to benefit one and only one far southern state.

    If we really want him, I would get in his ear.

    I think Tassie Devils should be allowed access to any player for the next 11 years.  Starting with all NGA listed players from any region on the planet.

    With the economy continuing to be tough on everyone, how can you justify the spending necessary on nurturing players from the Northern Territory without some guarantee that you, rather than another club, have the opportunity to reap the benefits of your work?

    Oh interesting, I didn’t realise that. Yeah I’m happy with JvR over Mac.

    Want to see Ricky in the Under 18s academy game v Coburg game.  Love the see another exciting small forward added to the list.  

    The only hope of him getting to us is to not have a great year and be selected outside top 40.

    Or, call out his name with a pick under 40

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
