Carlton are not going to have a fun time getting this trade done. 

Dodoro will ask for Cripps, Walsh and Curnow.

Jeepers! Would his brother have fired him? 

Stayed tuned for next week's game of thrones episode at Arden Street...

Been a bad few days for retirees! (and Crows players)

I feel like he's a whipping boy on this site but he generally plays his role ok.

He's one of the best endurance runners in the team from memory... 

Could we do a three way trade of polec-preuss-gws pick?

The covid breach was the last straw.

But wouldn't his on field value next year have been more valuable than the recent bad PR and 50k fine? Obviously not...

Obviously there were the recent off field issues, but in terms of on field maybe we thought he was never going to be able to get back to his best? I mean he did basically miss about 5 years of his career with his calf issues.

Harmes had a shocker. 

Only missed 4 games and didn't even make the top 20.

Essendon traded a future second round pick to gold coast in 2017 to get Saad. (not sure what the pick ended up being exactly) 

Has he improved much since then? If not, why should we pay much more than the Hawks second round pick we have since it'll probably end up being similar to what essendon originally used... 

Is Sparrow over his injury? Wonder if he'll come in for someone like AVB or ANB.

Love that I'm not accidentally clicking on the podcast as I'm scrolling down now :). Appreciate the work you put in mate

I couldn't sleep properly the other night so was scrolling through demonland. Don't think my wife appreciated the demonland podcast accidentally blaring out at full volume at 2am! 

How come Melbourne doesn't provide a write-up about each player? I know they're only scratch matches but still... 

I'd love to be wrong but surely there's no chance the pies will drop tonight's game. 

I wonder if Dunn will hold his spot and take us on this weekend 

For those Frost watchers...

For those banging on about the Spargo selection, he might have grown since round 1...

Can all the teams just stay in the hubs, for the rest of the season?

Only 12 games to go (13 for us!) and they could squash that into say 10 weeks if they put on a few mid week games.

Things could improve again in a few weeks but if they don't wants the AFL's backup plan!?

Quarantine starts the moment you leave Vic. Read it on the age or abc news the other day.

Anyone know why our game against Freo has been brought forward to a 12:35 pm start? Just curious, means some of us will be into the cans earlier than expected. 

Yeah since when did games get played at 12:35, it's not the reserves! 

There aren't the normal two Saturday night games being played at the same time so maybe it's to spread out the games more to please broadcasters since the AFLs more desperate atm. Hutchys been on about this for years - never have an overlap between games.

Have you heard the indigenous version of grand old flag? 

This sucks

At the moment are we into Jackson as much as the media / draft commentators are?

Where there's smoke there's fire. I can't remember any recent surprises at the pointy end of the draft that contradicted the media's rumours about our picks. e.g it was rumoured we weren't keen on Mccartin and would go Petracca and Braysure. Same with Oliver over Parish.

I think the last completely random high pick was Gysberts? Cook doesn't count as we were trying to get Lynch.

There was a graph someone made back in the day that showed picks 1-5 were excellent, pick 6 stank, pick 7 was great and most of the first round after that was very even. Then picks 20-45 were similar too.
