  1. Well, there's already a Melbourne connection there. Stumpf always supported Rohan Bail.
  2. Why do the AFL hate us?
  3. People are losing their censored over an aging, third-rate forward going to Collingwood? Seriously?
  4. Does anybody else experience a little heart flutter whenever this thread has new posts?
  5. It's based on the concept of a boxing ring.
  6. Today's 'Age' has this to say. They're guessing just as much as all of us are. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/pick-a-winner-who-your-team-will-target-in-the-afl-draft-20241021-p5kjy5.html Midfielders Harvey Langford, Sid Draper and Josh Smillie could get through to their first selection, while key forward Harry Armstrong, defenders Alix Tauru and Luke Trainor, and classy midfielder Xavier Lindsay might be in the mix at their second pick. Hore will score another one-year deal, but Smith will be delisted. Judd McVee will be upgraded to the primary list, and Andy Moniz-Wakefield can no longer be a category B rookie.
  7. If we draft Jagga, lure Keath out of retirement and employ Jones and Watts as assistant coaches, we'd almost have the original band back together.
  8. Why would we be interested?
  9. Tauru is almost a bull.
  10. Time to deliver the coup de grace on this one it would appear. The hints of "grammar" and "do" were intended to lead you to the solution that the surnames of all the players in my team can also be used as a verb. I promise the next teaser will be much easier.
  11. @Roger Mellie has done enough to join the other three on the podium. I believe that he is keen on Sid Draper, who joins Langford, Weideman and Hourigan as Demons. To help put the rest of you out of your misery, the two clues may be distilled to GRAMMAR and DO.
  12. A trickle has become a flood as @Hawk the Demon has spotted the link and gets his opportunity to draft a future superstar for the red and blue.
  13. @Roger Mellie also has one foot on the podium with his almost-but-not-quite answer.
  14. The refining has been successful and @mo64 has solved the mystery. He now has the opportunity to draft another star for the mighty MFC. Choose wisely, mo!
  15. @mo64 has all but solved it but just needs to refine his answer. If you're still trying to work it out, look at the surnames (first names are irrelevant) and keep in mind Grandpa's wife and John Kennedy's exhortation. The answer has nothing to do with footy nor do the players share a surname with another group - eg. musicians, politicians, jockeys etc.
  16. What a coincidence. I once saw him fart in a lift, press the button for every floor then get out before the doors closed. It was wrong on so many different levels.
  17. Given that you're the only one to respond @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, there are three possibilities. 1. The usual suspects, as you suspect, have stopped visiting the site. 2. The teaser is too difficult and the obscure clues haven't helped. 3. Nobody cares.
  18. As the late and great John Kennedy once implored his team, "Don't think. DO!!!" That's the word.
  19. Looking for guidance to solve this? Ask your grandpa. Or his wife.
  20. @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has identified a common factor, even though it's not the answer I had in mind. I feel obliged to award him first prize and he may select any player in the 2024 AFL draft to join MFC.
