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.

    Likened to Kozzy by his coach and will be given midfield minutes early in Coates league. What an exciting prospect. Hope he doesn't play too well 🤐

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
