Freo are becoming the Bombers scrapheap now eh? At least it's not us.

Think we have made some good choices up in the top of the draft... the later picks - well lets just hope they are CAC specials like Whelan and Bruce.

Think DB sounds like a better developer of the kids than ND was and I cant wait to see how things pan out... damn I am excited.

 

sheedy must be proud at raising the imaginative thinker that is mark harvey

Could Pfiefer be picked up in the psd?

i think he will...probably be richmond.

with Maric picked up, i dont see the need for Sampi...

Not just Maric. We've gone small and medium with our picks. No really tall or solid players. We must be well positioned now to take a likely ruckman in the rookie draft and I'd like to see us draft a KPP in the PSD. If not a recycled player then at least a young kid who didn't get drafted.

With Maric and Davey on the list and having drafted players of the size of Grimes and Cheney I can't see us possibly taking Sampi in the PSD.

I am liking the looks of the undrafted Dave Gourdis in the PSD

He's not eligible I don't think. Definitely a rookie option though.

Well considering that Freo was willing to offer their 4th round pick to Essendon in exchange for Bradley, I think it worked out pretty well for them in the end... and Essendon got nothing, which is even better. The idiots could have had an extra pick, instead they delisted him only for him to end up at Freo anyways.

Speaking of recycled players, Dew looks like he swallowed an entire Maccas joint!

Having met him on many occasions, he is a really lovely guy who enjoys a meal.... or 10, but seeing his photo in the paper today shocked me. He definitely needs a long, hard pre-season before he even contemplates fitting into an AFL jumper.

Rumour has it he was 120 kg earlier this year. 30 kilos heavier than his playing weight :lol:

No rumour. It was reported in the The Age on Sunday.

Should go for a Jenny Craig endorsement?

Fremantle. I'd like to take a moment to thank them for Jeff Farmer.

Handed to us for Phil Gilbert. Taken back half a decade later, giving us pick 17.

So, net result, we got some of the best years of Jeff Farmer and pick 17, for free.

Anyway, the best thing about the Bradley & Johnson move to Freo is that either way, at least one of Essendon or Fremantle will look like idiots.

Given our past experience with trying to recycle bombers (Heffernan, Moorcroft) I'm glad we didn't give it a go this time, and don't feel very optimistic for Freo.

Stat of the day - Bradley didn't lay a tackle in any of his four games for 2007. He laid four tackles in a single game in his debut season (2005), which represents 10% of the tackles he's laid in his 50 game career.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
