Where have you been since we've won the flag? You only come here to shit on the team when they're down. I'll leave this thread up because it is a legitimate question but you can go troll elsewhere.

Who comes in and who goes out?

Post your votes here please people 6,5,4,3,2,1 …

Tigers were robbed of a 50m penalty. Lol.

This is a wish list not a tipping list. 😄 But yes I agree.

Who are you tipping this week?

Lol. I love a posting click bait threads but even I wouldn't post this. 😜 PS: Not accusing you of click baiting just that there is no way we are in any way connected to this. Surely Tex could not leave the Crows given the song and dance he did about loyalty when Lever left them.

Lol

1. Melbourne Ruck Duo: Max Gawn and Luke Jackson Just like our winger's list, the winner in this catalogue comes without too much question. While other teams' ruck duos are much closer in quality than their wingers, the duo of Gawn and Jackson has been an almighty success after their premiership-winning season last year. On ability, Max Gawn is the best ruckman in the league and has been for the last few seasons. Gawn has played all 10 games this year, averaging 19.1 disposals, 5.4 marks, five clearances, 25.8 hit outs and 0.8 goals a game. The bearded skipper's ability to influence not only the ruck contest but everywhere else around the ground makes him such a luxury for the Demons. He can become an extra defender, midfielder or forward whenever called upon ... scary stuff! Last year's Rising Star winner Luke Jacksoncontinues to make himself a star of the competition as he develops into another ruckman/midfielder/forward. Jackson has missed the one game this year due to COVID Protocols, but in his nine games, he has averaged 14.8 disposals, 3.7 marks, 2.6 tackles, 10 hit outs and 2.4 clearances. At only 20, Jackson looks set to be a difficult match-up for teams and he is relishing in his role as Gawn's deputy in 2022. Both could be set to become dual premiership players if the Demons' scarily good start to the season is anything to go by. 2. St Kilda Ruck Duo: Rowan Marshall and Paddy Ryder 3.

OUT-OF-CONTRACT Melbourne star Angus Brayshaw is yet to put a timeline on when he will begin contract negotiations. The 26-year-old is a restricted free agent, and has connections in the west, with brother Andrew playing for Fremantle. He told AFL.com.au his recent move to defence has been his sole focus through the Demons' 10-0 start to the year but that he knew a crunch time was fast approaching. "I could roll out any sort of cliché, you could take your pick. With that stuff, round one I got thrown into the backline, having prepared for the wing all pre-season. Very, very quickly, my focus has shifted from everything that surrounds football to how to play and execute this role," Brayshaw said. "There are super high standards, we pride ourselves on our defence back there, so if I'm thinking about something else or not 100 per cent focused, you get found out pretty quickly. And that stuff just takes care of itself if you focus on your footy. "I understand this is a reality and these things will probably start popping up soon, when I need to sit down and sort it out, but I'm in a good position, I think, off the back of 10 solid weeks of footy. "I'll sit down – I don't know when that'll be – but I'll figure that out when it comes. I'm looking forward to getting it out of the way, because that's seems to be all anyone wants to know these days. What will be, will be."

Thanks for the kind words about the podcast guys. We do put a lot of effort into the format and runsheet each week. The best way you all can help us out is by jumping on Apple Podcasts (or any other podcasting apps) and leaving a favourable review for us.

He is. I reckon they'll play him in the 2s to get match conditioning.

Viney will play this week. Lingers will be tested will not be risked if still sore. Salem, Hibberd and Harmes will be available for selection next week. Hibberd would have played 2s last week if they didn't have the bye.
