The Great Pretender

6. T McDonald Stretch Hunt

Milkshake Lewis Hibberd

Mitch Hannan vs Jay Kennedy-Harris Corey Wagner vs Austin Bradtke James Jordon vs Kade Chandler Toby Bedford vs Aaron Nietschke Charlie Spargo vs Declan Keilty

Corey Maynard vs Joel Smith Bayley Fritsch vs Oskar Baker Josh Wagner vs Harrison Petty Tom Sparrow vs Marty Hore vs Guy Walker

So we kick off with Jordon v Chandler. Decisions, decisions...

Not as attractive to most men as Natalie Portman but, at least the Dees are getting some celeb supporters -

He looks a fair bit taller than Bayley.

Matt Balmer of Fox Sports has put out his AFL Draft 2018: Full first-round phantom draft a fortnight out from AFL draft

Pardon me.

And the connection with Jesse is the fact that the Marsh brothers come from WA and their collective scores match the chances there were that Melbourne would accept the Fremantle offer.

I have discovered a great prospect for the Melbourne Football Club. Warragul’s Noah Gown kicked 5 goals last week for the Gippsland Power in their win against Northern Knights. He’s 193cm and plays KPF - with that name, he would be great standing in the forward line next to Maxy when the big man’s resting. “TAC Cup 2018 Northern Knights 5.1 6.2 9.8 10.8 (68) Gippsland Power 2.0 7.3 8.4 13.7 (85) GOALS: Northern Knights: Naylor 3 D'Intinosante 2 Potter Wild McKenzie Barro Bowkett Gippsland Power: Gown 5 Duursma 2 Hodge Motton Flanders Hood Hume Mosquito BEST: Northern Knights: Potter D'Intinosante Philp Bowkett Wild Davies Gippsland Power: Beck McGannon Gown Flanders Reid Motton”

My guess is the reason why we would pay for him would be to play some good footy.

What?

They definitely have to do something about this because I've noticed this sort of thing creeping into kids' games. Did the AFL send a memo out to the coaches this week?

Knowing how very dearly you hold onto those rat's hats, I'm flattered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Agree. That's why I often come to this thread to find out what's going on at Melbourne. I always get a polite response and people are always so concerned about my welfare.

Not sure if anybody has considered this but Kieren Collins is a fair sized unit and a strong key position defender who some believe is not that far behind Weitering. I don't believe Essendon will pass over Weideman if we take a mid with pick 3. Collins might well be the player to go for with 7.

Do you blokes talk ever about footy here?

Nakia's father is a cousin of the father of Che, David and Cockatoo-Collins. The word is that but for a leg injury he carried this year, he might well have been a top 20 pick. Definitely worth a look because he has real X factor.

A quality young midfielder and the best KPP coming up through the system. What could go wrong?

Who do you think we'll get in 67 day's time?

I didn't go but I'm told that he was very composed during the training sessions and, like Stretch, didn't look out of place at an AFL training session.

Chanderpaul, after who the OP of this thread was opened all those years ago, just passed Alan Border in test runs scored. Congratulations.

Yeah, I reckon when a couple hundred million bucks suddenly disappears there's always room to suspect something dodgy just happened.Hopefully, this will have no effect whatsoever on the price of bananas.

If Paul Roos gets wind of this thread and realises what the typical Melbourne supporter is like, there's no way known he'll coach Melbourne let alone ever look at a banana again.
