Elwood 3184

How many thousands who normally go in by train are missing out today?

Pumped!

It’s becoming a common problem with footballers these days. Hopefully, he’ll come good.

Is the Casey ruckman playing?

Just thinking about it. A long drive to Shep. Twenty bucks admission to watch a game played in close to 40 degree heat. Alternative - go to the beach. Tough decision.

AFLY?

Mumford is already due to miss two games because of a club-imposed suspension for an off-field incident. This is an opportunity for the MRP to show there’s no place for thuggery - 3 weeks.

You need to work on your spelling chook.

I think I’ve been watching too much AFLW. The standard is marginally better.

Another conspiracy theory would be the desire on the part of the AFL to ensure the participation of the traditionally powerful clubs in Carlton and Collingwood in the finals series. The Blues are on top and the Pies have been well beaten but could still make it if they start winning some games in their weak comp. Surely, the organisers could have foreseen that the stronger sides were in one group?

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

The freehold land on which the Daily Planet is located was sold last year. I have a feeling that the award winning brothel is soon going to go the way of the Gatwick.

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

No, never been to Oktoberfest before. Elwood is very pleasant these days, especially since the beach is so handy to home and best from this time of day till sunset.

A poster on Demonland wrote recently that he and his wife are expecting.

So according to his manager, it wasn’t cocaine (snort, snort ?). Hope Port Adelaide believes that and allows him to play against us in round 1.

Go Dees!

Too hot to watch.

Terrible thing to happen to Mitchell but I wouldn’t say that a key injury to such a major player for a rival team for a finals spot is “not MFC related”. Let’s hope that we don’t suffer a similar setback to one of our players.

That’s what I thought until one of the female comperes mentioned at the end that they would be back tomorrow at noon. I suggest you check your local guides.

I think it’s worth noting that after the finals and before the trades, our highest draft selection was in the latter part of the second round which would, after compensation picks, priority selection, father/son and academy bids have made our first pick around #40. It’s now looking as though, with our bid for Toby Bedford, we will pick up three players within that range and while I don’t agree with Snoop Dog’s picks, there is enough quality available to suggest we are going to improve our list on Friday.

Well ... it’s now less than a week away. The experts at aflnation.com.au (Callum Twomey and Kevin Sheehan) are predicting this outcome for the first round. 1. Sam Walsh (Carlton) 2. Jack Lukosius (GC) 3. Izak Rankine (GC) 4. Max King (STK) 5. Ben King (PA) 6. Connor Rozee (GC) 7. Nick Blakey (SYD) bid 8. Bailey Smith (WB) 9. Jackson Hately (ADE) 10. Jye Caldwell (GWS) 11. Jordan Clark (PA) 12. Isaac Quaynor (COLL) bid 13. Zak Butters (GWS) 14. Chayce Jones (GEEL) 15. Tarryn Thomas (NM) bid 16. Riley Collier-Dawkins (ADE) 17. Ian Hill (FRE) 18. Xavier Duursma (PA) 19. Luke Valente (ADE) 20. Liam Stocker (RIC) 21. Curtis Taylor (BL) 22. Sam Sturt (GWS) 23. Rhylee West (WB) bid 24. Tom Joyce (WCE) That leaves Melbourne with the third pick on the second day - next Friday.

Sounds very Tom Scullylike so my hope is that GWS Giants draft him and they pick Shane Mumford as his mentor.

I forgot about Michael Reynolds. Came from Tassie and booted 6 goals at FF in a game in his first season. Faded out of the picture after 1986.
