Tiny Tim sans ukelele warbling "Tip Toe thru the Tulips"

For those still believing Riak Andrew will somehow propitiously fall into our laps.

Let's just hope it's not a popular rag with the common folk.

Especially so at Carringbush, out Moonee Ponds way or beyond the Port Jackson hinterlands.

Just noticed that Sam Marshall is Brisbane academy despite playing for Sandy Dragons. That seems a bit on the nose for me and contradicts the reasons for the academy.

It looks to me a policy of Brisbane's, to send their good NGA members down to Vic for their football schooling.

Pub test failed!

What’s the feeling on whether Andrew will be selected by another club, so we have to match and use our last list spot/pick, or whether he gets through and we can rookie him?

to be honest i'm half expecting him to slide through 

talls simply don't seem to have the premium placed upon them that they did as recently as three, four years ago

Not a surprise, club never were really linked with him. A fraction undersized and doesn’t kick well. That said, cost was basically the last pick in the draft. But we don’t seem to be a club that turns over the list these days.

The club we gave Grundy to. 

Hope they have a good FA we can take from them next year.

They seemed shocked we didn’t match, didn’t see a single smile from their group.

Maybe we just rate players better then him?

No biggie.

We weren’t even able to make a mistake with Mac. But given half the chance we would have found a way

We don’t have the list spots, our third pick is all we have and clearly they wanted other players.

Its not like we don’t have young kids developing but we do seem to hang on to guys as well as paying the price for top ups that so far haven’t worked.

Im not even sure if we wanted Riak as cat B which does seem wild because he has more upside than Mentha IMO.

said so in the johnson thread, but im truly gutted by this, its non-commital by the club and is going against the youthful processes we've been on for some time now. theres just so many ways this ends badly for us, watching mac flourish, ourselves getting destroyed by aliir playing against the swans in the past. i think his athletic potential once in the pro systems, he's gonna make us look so silly

Disappointed....but I have faith in Jason Taylor's decision.

I think there's another two younger Andrew brothers anyway?

 Paul Amy on X is reporting that Deng Andrew, brother of Mac and Riak, is fighting for a place on the Northern Bullants list. A long way from Casey.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
