87kgs at 185cms is chonky for an 18yo - does George's size give him an advantage at U18 level that may not translate at AFL level?
Not sure how you define “chonky” but I recall one Luke Hodge who fitted that description when he was drafted and I reckon it didn’t do him any harm (although he did tone his body a bit once he got into the AFL).

Brisbane will use up it picks 34,35 and 36 to land F/S Ashcroft so our Pick 37 will become a pick in the low 30's presumably.
Now is the time to start taking notice of the phantom drafts which should take these into account.

We have pick 37 or thereabouts on draft day. If our recruiters think he’s a worthwhile proposition then I’m sure they’ll consider taking him.

Bruce for Tomlinson?
Has anyone said this is even being discussed by the clubs?
Has the Richmond doctor been consulted?

If someone can get through the paywall then we won’t have to worry about the rest of this thread.

In the Eastern Football League Premier Division, the B & F was won by a former Melbourne rookie Max King. He tied with a player from Norwood (the Melbourne suburban club, not the one from the SANFL).
The Division 2 medal was won outright by another former Melbourne AFL and Casey Demons VFL player, Tim 'Bull' Smith, now at South Belgrave.

Weren’t we sponsored by Hancook Tyres once?

If he’s coming to us, please change his surname to Strong. Or maybe Lloyd Freak.

Strange as it may seem, there’s still one game left in the 2022 NAB AFL National U18 Championships and it’s the series decider between Vic Metro and Vic Country. The game will be played at Marvel Stadium on Thursday September 22 with the first bounce at 4:35pm. You can also watch on the Footy Channel if you have Foxtel.

How do you see us getting those?
That would be Fremantle’s problem if they want LJ.

Does every thread lead to Luke Jackson?
Definitely, until his playing future is resolved. If he does end up going back to WA, we can expect that to be a game changer for Melbourne which will suddenly find itself with a couple of high draft picks. LJ was taken at pick 3 and the club has invested three years of learning into him so that whoever he plays for in the next ten years will have an elite player for 10 years. That’s at least two top 5 picks and a player.
If he goes, then I would imagine that the Demons would try to gain Brodie Grundy as well as to pick up a young potential ruckman and one key position forward. Twomey’s form guide has some good prospects within a reasonable range that the club could aim to get.
About a week ago I mentioned in the Jackson thread -
“Two key players in that draft pick conundrum might be South Australians Isaac Keeler (197cm) and Harry Barnett (202cm) who are both capable of being developed as key forwards or ruckmen. Together with JVR, they would provide us with the next generation tall timber to replace Jackson and cover for the coming retirements of Ben Brown and Tom McDonald.”

What are the rules in the case of an appeal?
Don't they have to claim they have new evidence that wasn't already considered by the original tribunal?

Between The Flags will be on sale at Camberwell Market throughout August - On August 14 (basking in the glow of a return to the winner's list hopefully) at Stall 23; August 21 at Stall 24 and August 28 at Stall 64 (near the donut van).
The best thing about market sales (at Bentleigh and Camberwell so far) has been meeting other fans and sharing stories of our mutual passion for the Demons.
For those who can't make it to the market, the book is also available from Readings; The Avenue Bookstore (where it's made the non-fiction best seller list); Beaumaris Book; Ashburton news extra, and now, for rural fans from Collins Booksellers in Shepparton (the heart of the Demons' old country zone), and from Bookish in Hargreaves St Bendigo.
Looking forward to catching up with anyone able to make it to the market between 7am and 12.30pm.
BTF is also available online at https://www.betweentheflags57.com.au
Good luck for a win on Saturday night and good weather on Sunday!!!

At least the AFL will give them a bunk up with priority picks that they refused to give us when we were languishing at the bottom of the table and performing just as badly.

Trading draft picks
in Melbourne Demons

Let’s not get too cocky.
We should be aiming to improve our list every year and given we gave virtually nobody new a chance to play AFL this year, it might be a risky strategy going forward.
