Lol @ Fremantle

Mark Johnson and Kepler Bradley. Wow

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.

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.

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:

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
