2024 Fixture
I think our bye will be associated with our ANZAC Eve match, I believe that will be in R6.

AFLW: QF vs North Melbourne
The game was entirely played on the northern side. We didn't try to switch and when the ball did come out the southern side the Mackin sisters on the wings couldn't capitalise - fumbled too much. Alyssa Bannan is quite frankly hopeless in the contest. She dominates weak opposition. We'd be better served playing her on the fat side wing and switching. She can outmark and outrun any opposition winger. They did move her there in the last qtr but we didn't use her.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
I think that's right, our backline depth is Turner and Howes but Hore is a similar type to them.

NON-MFC: AFLW FINALS
Brisbane d Adelaide opens up the possibility of a home GF for us if we win the QF and PF in Melbourne.

AFLW: QF vs North Melbourne
Brisbane d. Adelaide - great result. Now we require 3 wins in Melbourne.

I think there's no chance either of these things happen.

Trading pick 6
WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

Was hoping to see best 22 from each year ...

Max Promises Tough Love this Preseason
Maybe instead of saying anything Max should have gone the full Marcel Marceau and let his actions do the talking. He could have mimed marking, kicking goals instead of points, given the goal umpires' goal signal so that it was all clear and ended with a triumphant mime of raising the cup. Imagine the headlines "Max Marceau mimes Melbourne marvellous!"

Which threads exhibit the most paranoia?
AFL is Rigged is a doozy. @Queanbeyan Demon post in there is a ray of light.

Trading pick 6
The other alternative offer could come from Freo, they have 3 2024 1st rounders, their own, Port's and Collingwood's so: F10 + F14 + F18 for 6? Curtin does barrack for Freo. A bit of a bidding war between Freo and WC would be good: WC F1st + 23 for 6 + 42? Seller's market!

Connor O'Sullivan
Has great size and looks very mobile with it. Ground ball game looks strong.

The Pick 1 Thread
They possibly think that. I think 2023 3 > 2024 F1 by a small amount. Then it's 1 + 23 for 6 + 11 - that depends on the players available at 6, 11 and 23 (or where those picks end up. It probably needs to be 2 to WC and 3 to MFC but I'm partisan and want us to have first choice. I wouldn't do 6 + 11 for 3 but I would for 2.

The Pick 1 Thread
I think a deal could be: WC: In 3, 6, 11; Out: 1, 23, F1 North: In 1, 23, WC F1; Out, 2, 3 MFC: In: 2; Out: 6, 11

North aren't going to give us 2 unless it gets them 1.

We need to get 2 to make sure we get our player.

Trading pick 6
I'd trade 6 + 11 for 2 but not for 3, we'd need the pick after Reid (and Walter) to be sure we get our man. I'd consider 6 for WC F1st, I'd do 6 for the F1st + 23 in a heartbeat, but I doubt WC offer that - more likely WC F1st + 23 for 6 + MFC F1st, I'd consider that too.
