...BUMP!
Ok, I know it's not October but we basically know the answers except who will be premiers. I'm going to pay out on Jones re B&F and Clark re best first year player.
So the winner with the most correct calls is.... drumroll.... Samsara with 5 and maybe 6 correct if hawks win the flag. Your prize is a dinner for two with cale morton at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
BEST CALLS
Dees best and fairest
These people all got it right with Nathan Jones:
RalphiusMaximus, Macca, Daz's Dee's, WhateverItTakes, Little Goffy, deeflog, billy2803, Steve13, mephis, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew, Samsara, reynolds46, Robbie57 and myself.
Dees best 1st year player
These people all got it right with Mitch Clark*:
RalphiusMaximus, Jack Jack, Samsara
*Altho most interpreted the question relating to only those with no previous experience and so most people chose Magner
Goals clark will kick
Nearest to the pin was DemonAndrew with 33
Games jurrah will play
The pessimists did well with this one!
Nearest to the pin were DemonWA, Daz's Dee's, Jack Jack, DEELIRIOUS, Pates, Deeflog, billy2803, Steve13, mephis, DemonAndrew, Good Times Grimes, reynolds46 and Robbo24 who all said 0. Also Dr. Mubutu said 2
Dees surprise of the year
Best call on this was LJ86 for "Grimes to make it through the season unscathed"
Other correct calls were:
Samsara for "Beat an interstate team away (excluding Port @ Darwin)" ... Although beating GWS in Canberra isn't much of a call, sorry!
reynolds46 for "Jack Watts complimented by former players in the media" I can't remember who it was but I think someone did compliment Watts a couple of months ago.. they might be wanting to retract it though
Premiers
The votes were:
Hawks - RalphiusMaximus, DemonWA, Macca, leucopogon, hardtack, Daz's Dee's, Jack Jack, WhateverItTakes, Crawf52, deeflog, Dee-licious, Steve 13, Dr. Mubutu, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew, Samsara, Good Times Grimes, robbo24 and me.
Geelong - Pates
Melbourne - Little Goffy
Collingwood - Josh, reynolds46
West Coast - Jonesbag, Robbie5
First coach to get sacked
These people all got it right with Primus:
deeflog, Dr. Mubutu, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew
Biggest off field controversy
Ok some of these could still occur in the finals, but to date these people got it right with the Jurrah call:
DemonWA, deeflog, Samsara and robbo24 (half-right)
Games won by gws
These people got it right by saying 2:
me, RalphiusMaximus, Samsara
WORST CALLS
Jack Jack
dees surprise of the year? Making the Prelim
Little Goffy
dees surprise of the year? Lucas Cook super-debut
Jonesbag
dees surprise of the year? Aaron Davey becomes AA
Good Times Grimes
dees surprise of the year? Josh Tynan wins the Rising Star award.
Josh
dees best and fairest? - Maloney

It's funny what you can find in google, I typed in Jeff Farmer's sons and came across this article:
Jeff Junior is 13 so pencil him in for the 2016 or 2017 draft hehe.
"Even though he's now got a taste for acting, Jeff Jr has another interest that may [censored] up the ears of AFL talent scouts."I've been trying to focus on football really,' he said."

Crying out for a Wiz reincarnation right about now. One of the best to watch ever, will never forget when he kicked 8 in the second half against the pies.
I think it was 9 goals in the second half actually! Yeh was the most exciting half I've seen from a demon
-
Just watched the Robbo Show which had Aussie on as a guest in the Remember When segment... he won't be coming back!
He was catching up with the boys while he was in town doing some work.
Still passionate about the dees, playing a bit of footy and was happy he doesn't have to worry about skinfolds now!

Source or GTFO
The only way i'd be happy for Moloney to go is if it was to trade for Boak.
...but port would never do that as they can get Moloney for free as an agent AND also some compensation for Boak in a separate trade.
-
Yeh we'd welcome him back, but not going to happen.... you usually don't go back to your old employer for your old job back...

"BRETT Ratten has been told he will be sacked as coach of Carlton, according to reports."
Melbourne newspaper Herald Sun reported on Wednesday that Ratten had been told this weekend's clash with St Kilda would be his last as coach of the proud and traditional club.
Ratten reportedly sacked by Blues
Brett Ratten tells family he knows he won't coach Carlton next season

The moron is apparently tweeting again. His name was attached to this tweet from about an hour ago and while I don't have a clue what it means it contains a expletives which I have deleted.
Could be someone using his name but I checked with a Carlton supporter who knows his social media and he thinks it's real.
Point is that he's already been in trouble over tweets and is an idiot to get involved in this stuff.
The "RT" at the start means he's just retweeting peoples messages to him, so i wouldn't read too much into it. I've noticed when he gets insulted on twitter he just retweets the insults for others to see..
-
Lay off Sheedy - in February he predicted Izzy could kick 40 goals this year so he's only 39 off!

what compensation would we have got if he went to gold coast in late 2010, about a round 3 pick? obviously gone down in value since then
-
I wonder if the Bulldogs are interested in nominating Jack Viney.
Yeh bulldogs have games against sydney, geelong and then brissie at the gabba so in their form they wont win any of those.
So if we win 2 out of the next 3 then our percentage will be higher (we're currently only 1.93% below) and we'll finish 15th... but i think it'll be better to finish off the season with a big upset and confidence after such a shizenhaus season.
best chance is against crows at the g, amazingly last time we played we beat them way back in round 7 last year - 149 to 53 when beamer and adam marric got 31 possies and sylvia and petterd kicked 4 each. haha memories
and what a bizarre draw that you can go 37 rounds between playing a side!?
-
just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse this year the media comes up with a Walkley special
Yeh on the foxsports website under popular stories, at number 2 is "Unhappy demon walks out". Pretty misleading with their headline.
-
is 8 goals our best effort for a last quarter this year?
-
Wilkes has been the difference. I never thought I'd ever say that.
Just looked up his stats out of curiosity
Wilkes 2012
Games - 7
Goals - 9, but 7 against us!!
-
Didn't Beau Wilkes pop up with a few last time we played as well?
Wilkes must love playing against us
-
I haven't been reading a lot of threads on here, but why are people going on the assumption that we're going after Chapman?
its just wishful thinking, no chance anyway.
-
Agree with Heart beats true. Not the end of the world (yet).
Curious to know if you guys were at the Saints game earlier in the year. Very close to snatching that one; Hayes was the difference. Can we do it again? If not, what will be different this time?
Melbourne changes since round 5
Ins - Jetta, Blease, Tapscott, Strauss, Spencer, Green
Outs - Davey, Morton, Frawley, Bartram, Jamar, Watts
Apart from Blease being in better form than Morton you could argue that all the ins are not quite as good as their equivalent outs
(Clark was injured with concussion so missed the round 5 match)
-
GWS and GCS are both trying to outdo each other - 6 injured outs each!
-
Will be interesting to see how the two Chinese athletes go in this years draft camp http://www.abc.net.a...n-china/4128370
Would be awesome for the future of the AFL if they can get more people with asian backgrounds to start playing in junior leagues
-
hopefully it's LINsanity all over again!

Out at Circus until 6am. Draw your on conclusions.
He was also out with Andrew Lovett on sun night, draw your own conclusions! (photo was doing the rounds on bigfooty)
