She might like to go to the USA and start up a business like this one.

You may have misheard. I think it was a reference to this town in Wyoming.

And while we're at it ...

And why not? Here's a great Aussie band of the 90s.

Looked to me as if he was hanging out to the left. Anyway, enough about his goalkicking practice.

As Hore was a previously listed AFL player, I think we can just recruit him without needing to use a rookie draft pick.

I doubt they'd be interested in sponsoring an individual club as they're looking at a bigger prize and lobbying strongly to gain the naming rights for the Melbourne Cricket Ground. They want it to be known as "The McG".

Tholstrup looks like he might be as mental as anything, possibly even a berserk warrior.

He'd have a lot more if he'd been drafted by Collingwood.

Twelve months ago we were saying the same about Judd McVee.

I think it's now a three year minimum contract for top 20 draftees. Of course, the Horne-Francis situation last year showed that contracts mean nothing these days.

We've committed to automatically taking him as a rookie IF he is not drafted by another club tonight.

We traded pick 42 to St Kilda for a future third rounder I believe.

But do we have any vacancies on the list? I understood we are at capacity. Stand to be corrected.

We had Cale Morton, who was Cale A. Now we have Cale B.

Michael Gleeson in 'The Age' and Jason Taylor have a different view. Melbourne again traded into the draft and had picks at seven and 13. List manager Jason Taylor said it was serendipitous that the players they regarded as the best available talents at that pick also happened to fit needs they had on their list. Koltyn Tholstrup is 186cm tall, a powerful forward who can run, while Caleb Windsor is an elite ball-user and very quick. If you asked what type of players Melbourne needed right now they would be close to being it.

Of course we looked at him. We decided that Windsor was better. Have some faith in our recruiting staff FFS.

I know the TV coverage starts at 7pm, but what time is the actual first pick made? Is it 7.30? (No desire to sit through all the waffle before the interesting stuff happens.)

Marnie Vinall has had a go at explaining it. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-dominant-melbourne-demons-are-at-risk-of-straight-sets-aflw-finals-exit-20231114-p5ejvh.html

So the Demons starting slowly, @Clintosaurus complaining about the umpiring and @DeeSpencer sticking the boots into Libby Birch. Business as usual, then.

That could lead to some ... checks and re-checks spelling ... cunning stunts.

Wilson doesn't look too excited about the prospect of joining Melbourne. We might need to have him train with Mick Stinear's squad and have T. Hanks mentor him.

He'd be good value on MFC corporate golf days. Koltyn Tholstrup = troll honky putts.
