The game was definitely broadcast on television and from memory, it was on delay in Melbourne. There were certainly photographers there and photographs were taken. I also vaguely recall seeing a flashbulb popping in one of the shots taken off the screen image. My sister was into making ceramics at the time and she made a plate with the image of the mark of the century on it - I’m going to try to find it.

When you get to this stage it’s often a case of the heart or the head. 1. Neville Jetta vs 6. Tom McDonald 3. Clayton Oliver v s 2. Max Gawn

An excellent point PF. I think that with our list reasonably balanced in most areas, it’s probably worth revisiting as to whether there might be a good back up ruckman out there who could fill that role and add some steel to the ruck situation at Casey. Someone like Marc Pittonet of Box Hill who destroyed us in the grand final would be handy. The only ruckman reported to be at the club (Casey) is a kid from the suburbs who we know very little about and who will face an uphill battle against the AFL and seasoned VFL big men in the competition.

I’m interested to know if anyone’s turned up.

Mid-season draft: When is it and how will it work?

1. Neville Jetta vs 5. Jake Melksham 6. Tom McDonald vs 4. James Harmes 3. Clayton Oliver vs Jack Viney 2. Max Gawn vs 8. Angus Brayshaw

Paul Amy on Twitter “Fair chance Melbourne Category B rookie Austin Bradtke will play some Under 18 football this year. Suggestions around that he’s been given permission from the AFL to turn out for Dandenong Stingrays.” Probably a good idea since it’s 4 or 5 years since he’s played a game of AFL.

Jayden Hunt vs 4. James Harmes 3. Clayton Oliver vs Bayley Fritsch 2. Max Gawn vs Michael Hibberd Christian Salem vs 7. Angus Brayshaw

Nev is our #1 seed but not good enough to get drafted in the AFLX team by Eddie Betts. Are they feuding?

Only two Demons. ?

Guilty

Eddie Betts just picked Lewis Jetta ahead of Neville. Fair dinkum unbelievable!

Steven May picked ahead of Jesse Hogan - a win for the MFC.

The only Eagle picked so far is Gaff and he didn’t play in the premiership team.

If the AFLX Draft is anything to go by, the actual competition is going to put the nation to sleep.

1. Neville Jetta vs Jordan Lewis Alex Neal-Bullen vs 8. Jake Melksham Charlie Spargo vs Jack Viney 6. Tom McDonald vs Billy Stretch Query: is it possible at the end of this round to get a list of which players are left in Demonbracket so that we can assess the state of play?

Oscar McDonald v Alex Neal-Bullen Bayley Fritsch vs Aaron vandenBerg Sam Weideman vs 7. Angus Brayshaw

I wonder what the AFL has to say about this? It does have a Respect and Responsibility Policy in place and whilst the emphasis is on physical violence and mental abuse of women, it also sanctions activity that degrades women and this is a prime example of exactly that. Forget the woman in the video who willingly took part in Watts’ little escapade. Think of women in general; think of the image Watts is representing and think of the example this sets for young kids who look upon AFL players as heroes. As far as Port Adelaide is concerned, they are heading for a fall - neither they nor their player appear to be particularly remorseful. That’s a sure sign that there are cultural problems at that club.

There seems to be a difference of opinion among those reporting on Joel Smith’s disposal ranging from no good to improving to very good. Something for track watchers to report on after future sessions.

Jack Viney vs 5. Nathan Jones Sam Frost vs Charlie Spargo Jake Lever vs 4. James Harmes Joel Smith vs Christian Salem

6. Tom McDonald vs Mitch Hannan Jeff Garlett vs Billy Stretch Braydon Preuss vs Jayden Hunt

Christian Petracca vs 8. Jake Melksham Tim Smith vs Jordan Lewis Michael Hibberd vs Josh Wagner
