Demonstone

Special mention to the nincompoop who commented on the "finals-like atmosphere" at the Gabba. Um, yeah. It's a final you goose.

Demonstone - sorry to be pedantic (or maybe not all that sorry), but a 360 would have him back as enthused as he was to start with. Maybe a 180 .. ? It wasn't me!

He retired a long time ago, unfortunately.

Three chairs for the AFL. Hip hip, hooray ...

They're guttered?

Given that it was a Melbourne player that was injured, I think Maynard should be out for 4 - 6 weeks.

At 170cm, he'd struggle to reach the ceiling. It's his only flaw.

Oh yeah? I rest my case ...

What a day! Melbourne beats Collingwood in a big final and The Rolling Stones release their new single. Everything's coming up Demonstone!

They look great, particularly that bloke on the left with the ginger eyebrows!

Is it too late to bring back Dom Tyson?

Again, he would have no control over which club chooses to draft him. Risky business.

That's what I said.

Fair suck of the sav, @chook fowler.

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".
