Gather Round Guernsey Poll
Not wild on any of them.. Would have liked a white option for some real variety, especially as we're playing a team in red/black

Welcome to Demonland: Xavier Taylor
The eight AFL draftees primed to make an instant impact in 2026 (https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-eight-afl-draftees-primed-to-make-an-instant-impact-in-2026-20251130-p5njkp.html) Xavier Taylor (Melbourne)The Demons’ recruiters were doing cartwheels when Taylor slipped through to them. He developed impressively across the season, culminating in his best-on-ground performance in the Eastern Ranges’ grand final triumph. Taylor is 192 centimetres, which helps him impact the game aerially in defence, where he is an excellent interceptor. He is not afraid to take the game on, but also stands up defensively and has improved his decision-making, which will help him play early, while he is confident enough to back himself. Latrelle Pickett (Melbourne)Kysaiah Pickett’s cousin has joined him at the Demons, and his arrival could lead to more midfield time for the former – or a mercurial double act up forward that threatens to give opposition defenders nightmares. Latrelle Pickett turns 20 in a few weeks, but enjoyed a standout season laced with brilliance and loads of goals in the SANFL that propelled him up draft boards. Melbourne have lacked that type of forward, particularly when Pickett is further afield, so pencil him into the Demons’ 23 now.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
I thought this was poor, could still thank the fans in a statement. The crowd got around him a few times in season 2025. I know he's hurt but its disappointing. AND we host GWS in Alice Springs in 2026, so assume we play them in NSW in 2027, might be a whilst before he's in front of us at the G again.

Music Recommendation thread for off-season Boredom
For me the worst part about digital music is not being able to flick through a CD booklet Also liberated WTSMG from my sister as she was 2 years older than me, still got it.

Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
I'm still on the fence about this pick, will be curious to see this one in retrospect. We've rolled the dice and now we cheer him on. Some of the comments on social media seem to think we picked him far too early (#12) despite being linked at other clubs at round Pick 15.

Bit funny they ended up at Melbourne given the stereotypes we get

Every year it annoys me that the #1 Pick holder club are given time to milk before announcing the #1 pick, just get on with it

- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Pity Port don't have a good draft hand this year. they've just had a NGA approved (who is a likely #1 pick in 2026). so will need the picks/pointsto match next year, can't trade for anything good this year as they've only got 49 & 85 to play with- AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
know our luck we'd do the trade and he'd go the pick before ours- 2026 AFL Fixture
We made trade week interesting, could have received a nicer double up fixture as a thank you!- 2026 AFL Fixture
Sometime after midday according to an article I read earlier.- 2026 Walk Out Song
It is mad, but we'll never get that atmosphere. That 60,000 home fans in a rectangular stadium. I liked Enter Sandman, also don't mind Hells Bells, probably better suited. But no doubt they'll try get something for the younger generation.- 2026 AFL Fixture
know a few fellas who go for Essendon, we like to make a day out of going to the footy, but going to adelaide probably too big of a day- Corey Ah-Mu - NGA Selection
