They both scream cult figure. Watching Casey games Sestan has the ability to do the extraordinary. It may not happen every quarter but it is fun to watch when it does. Someone here also stated that he is already the best kick in the team. Verrall is big, mobile, coordinated and can kick. This observation is on the one game I watched of him but pretty much anyone could have seen the kid has talent. -

To be fair most players get sacked. Very few get to leave on their own terms.

That is unbelievable! Unique. I have never seen a goal like that in 50 odd years of watching footy

That’s brilliant! Such a mum thing to do

The last two decades of #1 draft picks from 2002 are Goddard Cooney Delidio Murphey Gibbs Kruezer Watts Scully Swallow Patton Whitfield Boyd McCartin Weitering McGrath Raynor Walsh Rowell Ugle-Hagen Horne-Francis and Cadman If you redrafted these drafts now bugger all of the #1 picks would go #1 again. Who knows, perhaps Harley Reid is different, but I’d rather back Taylor to pick his 3 best in the top 25 rather than just the one shiny bloke who is currently at the top

Melbourne V Richmond luck scoreboard. Umpires had a shocker - Demons 0 Tigers 2 Richmond were without their key forward and one of the pre-season Coleman favourites in Tom Lynch. Their first ruck in Nankervis, second ruck in Soldo. Also Nathan Broad, a 3 time premiership player, Jack Graham 2 time premiered player and 2nd in the Tigers B & F and up and coming Key defender in Josh Gibcus. We were close to full strength - Demons 5 Tigers 0 We can’t whinge as overall we won the luck scoreboard 5-2.

Ok, so that was disappointing. Let’s look at the positive though and work out who would be good to pinch from Gold Coast.

I’m surprised there are supporters of any club who don’t hate them. The performance enhancing drug regime of 2012 was cheating at its worst. The fact that James Hird never took any responsibility for for the scheme, the fact that both supporters and the Essendon hierarchy at the time felt they were hard done by and the fact that there are 34 players and ex players wandering around today STILL not knowing what that Club put into their bodies is a disgrace. I would have kicked them out of the competition And yeah, for us, there is also the out and out thuggery of the 2000 GF

ATTENTION DEMONLANDERS. We are all officially in the absolute sweet spot of supporting this club. We can peruse top 5-10 draft talent while ALSO being a realistic chance at a flag. It wont get any better than this for us.

Gift? No. But I can imagine that if two players were seen on level pegging for the sub role, then the Club may give it to the bloke who is only 3 games from life membership. Personally I want Jake to get to 100 games for the Club, it is a significant achievement. He probably wants to too. As long as it isn’t detrimental to the team performance there is still room for a bit of feel good

I’d still have Flower just over Oliver but I understand how some may not.
-
Born in ‘64 A bit off topic but I’d love to see how our 1975/76 ‘centreline’ of Alves, Wells and Flower would go against our current day version of Langdon, Oliver and Hunter.

The bloke is a national treasure. He is a [censored] funny satirist and takes the [censored] out of every team. That’s what he does!

I watched most of the match. There was obviously a huge gulf between the two sides. In this cast the stats don’t lie, Megan Fitzsimmons was clear BOG. Assume she will play predominantly forward this year. Goldie was a cut above as well

The kid must be feeling 10 feet tall and bullet proof at the moment. Imagine being 19 years old and running around the colosseum while 40,000+ people yell Rooooo as you slot 3 goals on debut. How bloody cool would that be…!
