  1. And we'd be finishing 10th.
  2. With a heavy heart, will give his season a passing mark.
  3. Agree with @McQueen, #destinationpodcast But seriously, when is the Roos/Jones statue being erected?
  4. Dr. Mubutu replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Literally the best deal the Swans have ever done.
  5. Dr. Mubutu replied to Moonshadow's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Get him in - next year's third rounder should do the deal
  6. Was one of the few who weren't terrible that day.
  7. Daniel Cross. Pumped up by Roos in the Demonland interview as absolutely essential to the culture they were building around the club. 5th in the B&F and best clubman in his first year here. Free Agent. Sure, not the most flashy of deals (in terms of $$$, 'superstars', contract lengths), but for mine, a free agency steal.
  8. I dunno, if Viney slightly bumped me with his little finger I would probably go down harder. That other bloke is only human, after all....
  9. Jetta: best 7 disposal game ever?
  10. 6. Jetta 5. Weideman 4. Harmes 3. Viney 2. Gawn 1. Oliver
  11. Fair enough. I apologise for my (admittedly ridiculous) attempt to score internet points.
  12. Which was traded to them, by us, along with Kyle Cheney, for the pick that drafted TMac.
  13. Not so sure, pick #66 in 2010 actively helped draft Plugger McDonald
  14. I feel that given the public have been given the chance to vote on Jabby's medal, surely we get to vote on McKernan's medal from 1996 as well. In addition to ANY decision outlawing the fairest player in any given season....
  15. This is late, I know, but we gave up pick 2 last year for Petracca, and he won't be seen until at least half way through this year.......
  16. That does look good. It's also good to acknowledge that my sense of schadenfreude outweighs my hatred for the filth. My, what would WYL think......
  17. This just reminds me of how hard we won the 2012 trade week. Even if we did get in Chris Dawes and Dom Barry. Hogan, plus Viney at pick 26. About the only thing done properly at MFC from 2008- mid 2013.
  18. Really? Brad Green doesn't strike me as that kind of fellow.
  19. Watts would be 3rd man up at best. He is not suited to the ruck position (quasi or genuine) at all.
  20. Whilst $400k sounds like a lot now, bear in mind that the average player salary is now only about $360k. This takes into account the first and second year players, as well as rookies, who are on well below $200k. Given the new TV rights deal, I think that $1.6m over four years will be a standard contract for a player on the cusp of the best 22 who is essentially depth at about the midpoint of the mooted contract period. Yes, this sounds like a lot to the standard supporter, but when the big picture is taken into account, it's really chump change compared to the sycophants at AFL House, who take on nowhere near the risk the players do.
  21. Looks like they took my suggestion seriously....
  22. Dr. Mubutu replied to MadAsHell's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Really hoping the 'Beta Spuds' advertisement at 0:20 isn't indicative of his playing ability......
  23. You know he's an Essendon player, right? Pick 10 + 6 years of development in the Essendon calculator works out as our 1st and 2nd round picks + Angus Brayshaw.
