If I’m not mistaken, in the last three weeks, a Melbourne team badly weakened by injuries has lost games to second placed Port Adelaide and third placed GWS by two points in each game in a competitive season where even the reigning premier is finding it tough going and where both have difficult draws. Do you expect Demonland to repeat the half baked wrist slashing speculation of Jay Clark or Kane Cornes when it does a preview of a meaningless fixture at the close of a trying year? I guess you do if you’ve chosen “Cranky” to describe your on line character.

Has the Melbourne team flown out to Perth yet?

Only four players in the F-S/Academy categories so perhaps not as compromised a draft as we originally thought. Query however, the non-inclusion of the SA trio of the Camporeale twins (Carlton F-S) and Welsh (Adelaide F-S). 4. Levi Ashcroft (Brisbane F-S) 7. Leonardo Lombard (Gold Coast Academy) 12. Sam Marshall (Brisbane Academy) 20. Isaac Kako (Essendon NGA)

I agree. It's time we kicked up a racket about our list management.

Multiple goals in many matches, lots of possessions out of the middle. Would he want to give up being a big fish in a small pond? By George, Bulldogs are too good

Surely People’s First Stadium is situated in Pyongyang, North Korea?

Whichever way the season goes from here, the future is solid.

The bloke who played on the other wing to Robbie is technically a closer comparison is Alan Johnson who was equally fast.

What about AMW and KFW as our two, as yet uncapped, hyphenated ones?

Seriously though. Wasn't the AFL going to review the NGA rules and make them a bit more friendly towards the southern states?

No Verrall ... is he set up to be mystery injury of the week?

We definitely need another player with a hyphenated name.

I’m very much with you Whispering. Over the years, I took refuge in programs like The Coodabeens because I suppose that if my team wasn’t good enough, it was okay to laugh at its place in the game. So I laughed at the stereotypes like the stuffy private school educated Ivan from Ivanhoe and the snow goers. All of a sudden, we became a super strong club and won a premiership and we no longer had the need to laugh at ourselves. Still, I will miss them for their entertainment value.

Mykelti Lefau, picked by Richmond spent some time a few years ago at the Casey Demons.

Goalkickers (4Q Game): Melbourne: Petracca 2, Fritsch 2, Pickett 2, Brown 2, Van Rooyen, Lever, Gawn, Schache, Verrall, Chandler.

Maybe Oliver Seaton from Xavier College?

Sounds like they also did away with needing to announce them to the general public and supporters as well.

What's Daniel Turner's status now? Is he a primary listed player or a rookie?

Has he been re-contracted?

According to Kane Cornes, Essendon wants a first round pick for Zirk-Thatcher.

Collingwood’s trading turned out to be outstanding and went a long way to them winning the premiership. Brodie Grundy on the other hand, was something else.

Zane Duursma has been running into a rich vein of form at the right end of the season. The word is that the Hawks will grab him at Pick 3. Gippsland gun snatches RMC Medal in final round
