Demonstone

Unless he's a free agent, some sort of trade would need to take place I think. (cf Luke Jackson) Alternatively, he could nominate for the draft but then he would have no say where he ends up.

He's 18 months older than Fritta so wouldn't be replacing him other than in the unfortunate case of injury. Melksham on the other hand ...

McAdam's mooted move to Melbourne also opens up the possibility of a three-club trade between the two SA clubs and ourselves, involving Grundy to Port plus other players and draft picks being involved.

His highlights reel is impressive, but that's what highlight reels are for. I see he wears number 23 at Adelaide. If he's keen on that number, there's every possibility it may be vacant at Melbourne at the end of this season. For a third-rounder as suggested? I'm in.

Now that one's a banger!

I've seen some negative posts today, but this is the wurst.

We also need an answer to this question.

Last year we drafted Jed Adams, who is a tall (197cm) key defender. I hope he continues to develop.

Yes, it's not how you'd intuitively pronounce the name "Doedee". The origins of its unusual pronunciation date back to the 1850s when the Doedee family were very fond of the music of the American composer Stephen Foster. They were particularly keen on his timeless tune, "Camptown Races".

Because that's how the Doedee family pronounce it.

All hail the mighty Demons!

If only there was some mechanism which would enable us to trade for or draft a suitable backup, hey?

Because MFC have told him the experiment hasn't worked and that they are going to trade him?

I would think they'd name teams for our game on Wednesday and the other teams on Thursday.

Some of you did well for Father's Day by the sound of it. All I received were three anonymous cards addressed "To Whom It May Concern".

Victory!

I used to glue Melbourne into top spot and Collingwood into 12th and sticky-tape it to my bedroom door.

You'll have to explain that one to me.

They did. Sometimes a player would be reported by more than one umpire for the same incident!

That's true. Even the central umpires are loath to report these days, preferring to wait for the video review.

I thought that they (and boundary umpires) are still allowed to do so today, albeit it's been many years since I've seen it happen.

We're going to need a clue, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew.

I reckon I've still got a fridge magnet in a drawer somewhere.

I have a solution to that problem!

Every single year, without fail: 1. Player X (from my club) should have been selected. 2. Player Y (from another club) doesn't deserve his selection. 3. The selectors don't have any idea. 4. The selectors hate my club. Rinse and repeat.
