Welcome to Demonland: Molly O’Hehir
Zipporah Zippy Fish. Dad must have been a fan of Kate Fischer (as we all were in the late 80s/90s - changing her name to Tziporah Malkeh in the aftermath of James Packer marriage break up...)

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 9th December 2024
Spent about 45 mins there for the first time in many a season. Very impressed with the quality of training and ball movement - picking a starting 22 is going to be tough work on the selection committee Was surprised about the size of Lindsay - he is definitely bigger than I was expecting - ripped and should slot straight in
-
The Next CEO
Justin Rodski - would be a fantastic appointment. As much as he is ceo at storm - he's an AFL boy at heart Worked his way up the corporate ranks at Essendon before going to Storm Know him quite well - through junior footy. He does the boundary ump role every game for his sons team - he's grounded and always available for a chat

Draft Behind The Scenes - First 15 Hours as a Draftee
2 deadset Rippers by the looks. The cameo from Smillie and the little cuddle with Tauru (thr 2 gippsland boys) - they look like great blokes as well. Hope our 2 can get them across as well in a couple of 😉

Ok so Larke medallist with 5 and Morrish medallist with 9 (was also clear Bog in the vic v vic game) got 2 kids that can seriously play missed out on some X factor with the Viking but but can’t complain with 2 blokes we’ve got - should be solid citizens for 10+ years those 2

2024 Phantom Drafts
I'm confused by the Tauru situation. I like him and am on record here as saying yes at 5. The biggest reason for this is NM being rumoured to happily 'reach for him at 2. Yes they some good kid Mids but as we all hear time and time and time again the best players are the gun mids. They get taken at the pointy end. You don't go for position at the pointy end you get the best kid period. If Tauru is in the position a club wanting him at 2 despite then missing the 2nd best available player - that tells me perhaps this batch isn't necessarily as good as all the hype is making them out to be. North are still developing they need the Best players they can get regardless of position trade a gun mid for a KP next year with a couple of years of development if needed. Hence Tauru must be pretty special - rated on par with pointy end mids. 193cm (and growing) aerialist swingman - a handy acquisition in any books. The flowing blonde hair taking pack marks at either of the ground - its a yes from me if available at 5

The Riak Andrew Thread
Just looked up dates FS noms for draft bidding were due on October 31 Fs rookie list noms due 22 nov If young Yze looks like a rookie pick as opposed to draft ready - we won't know until 22 nov

Assuming we keep 5 & 9, who are you picking?
Kinda hoping for the flying Viking at 5 The joint would go into meltdown about not taking a mid at 5. But he reminds me of a young N riewoldt, D Schwarz, P Knights. Blonde haired aerialists. There's just something good about them

Jack Davey
Hi All Probably a bit closer for me than most here - he played footy in the under 11s at Glen Iris Gladiators with my son. His dad is the team manager. There has been 2 go fund me's set up - one with the money going directly to the Davey family to allow them as much time as possible for whatever they need and the other set up by the primary school for all the families involved - donate what you can spare to help Links here https://gofund.me/e0d6b27e https://gofund.me/4a2efb1f

Financial Review: Melbourne Demons the 6th most valuable brand in the AFL
For a while at least 😀 - it definitely fits me. 'Kolt from old Regret' is warming on me though as a new version. Would need to custom a man from Snowy River poster though.

- Are the Dees Still a Destination Club?
100% perception and only perception. We have a list that when healthy = deep finals ****ty perception now as media pile on continues and will continue. We have the media offside. Get them back and we become desirable again. It's all in how it's spun. The salary cap is the salary cap, 3rd party deals still happen, the dangling of finals. Really not much between desirability and reality... if North Melbourne are able to attract interest.... they have nothing that is of interest to anyone, yet room in salary cap = paying overs - Are the Dees Still a Destination Club?
