One little error in your summary, Kreuzer and Cotchin will not be at the same club.

PS. Hope we play Hawks in Round 1 , no Hodge, Crawford and Lewis.

i cannot believe Yze Magic is so adament about Ken McGregor and Farren Ray.

these 2 players are probably the last players id ever want on our list. they are exactly what we DONT want on our list making a fresh start in 2008 with a new coach.

McGregor 26 yrs old!!! mediocre bits n pieces key position player. would be useful to plug holes down back and can go forward...pretty much a replica of Ben Holland, another one of our average key position players.

we need to look at young (25 and younger) players who have real talent.

McGregor= mediocrity!!!

Farren Ray is pure and simple a mediocre outside soft midfielder. he was a high draft pick who has shown much less than sylvia (and that's saying something).

Ray=mediocrity!!!

the players we should go for in the trading period

1) Chris Judd

2) Cameron Wood

3) Matt Maguire

There are 3 categories that must be ticked if we are going to trade for a player.

1) they are under 25 years old. otherwise they will be past their peak by the time we are challenging for a flag in 2-3 years

2) they are quality people and quality players

3) will fit straight into our starting 18 next year and add something to our side (i.e. dont trade for the sake of trading)!

McGregor and Ray do NOT fulfil this critera and should not be considered. i wouldnt have either of those players even making MFC's starting 18 round 1 2008.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why YzeMagic is our most entertaining poster.

Was just about to say that...

It's understood Hawks will be playing Carlton on Good Friday - round 1 next year.

The AFL will probably send us to Perth :rolleyes:

We are more likely to head to Darwin! :angry:

the other bit of YM/s dream that wont happen is Neita wont be BOG. Bit like treadrea at Port we can expect the big guy to get 7 goal bags in 2008 BUT he will demand 1st or 2nd key defender! but a good wish list YM

That's one hell of a victory...

But you made one mistake...

Jud plays for Carlton apparently.

Will Carlton be tanking in round 1 or will they field a full team?

Depending on how Hurley goes injury wise over the summer, Carlton will no doubt be looking for him to become their star backman and will tank from round 8 to get him!!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
