2018 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Tom Medhat from West Perth is one who's going to move up the draft boards. Played most of his juniors as key position with stints on the ball. Now in his draft year being used on the ball really good kid who at 191cm showing endurance and ability to find and use the ball well is going to start attracting attention. Adrian Hickmotts boys (Liam & Will) and Michael Priors boy (Jaxon) also showing plenty from Perths northern suburbs.

Retro gear
As a Toffee I despise the one on the left. Don't mind Schwabbys logo. Although I actually just like the MFC monogram
- Are we ready? Rory Sloane

Yes I know of several people who became members in the second half of the season as low membership guaranteed you a GF ticket

I agree old dee we are heading down the US track very quickly. Grand Finals will soon be for the rich and a select few. As an interstate member I make 2 to 3 games a year at the G and the Subi games. I go and watch junior footy/wafl colts every weekend and local footy on Saturday. Love my Amateur footy in a Saturday arvo with a group of mates and our kids can't beat $4 beers. The AFL needs to be careful pricing out the regular punter and killing the goose who laid the golden egg

I'm in the same boat as you old dee. Oldest born in 2006 and the youngest the year after. Talk about bad timing lost both to Pies and Hawks. As you say life goes on I'm just happy they have an interest in the sport and they share in my hatred for Meth Coast. They like their mother (Blues) all paid up Dees members

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARRISON PETTY
If we take Parish over Oliver we don't get near finals If Smith and Spencer don't get injured against Richmond we probably win and play finals If St Kilda took Trac instead of Mccartin we struggle to win QB It's full of what ifs Thank god the FD looks forward not back

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARRISON PETTY
^^^ This the so called superdraft next year is based on having plenty of depth in terms of going very deep in quality players A high number of quality talls On another point our FD was one who got their heads around the Academy points system quicker than others. Don't be surprised if they have also prepared for live trading coming in fairly soon

Liam Ryan
Are you a black duck supporter? Saw Tallan Ames outsmart Liam Ryan with good body use very good WAFL defender. I think of Ryan as another Shane Yarran in terms of ability, Subi had to go down and collect Ryan from Armadale for every training session otherwise he nore than likely wouldn't have turned up. They looked after him really well so puts anotger mark against him in terms of on going motivation Ans as for Basil Syphilis can't stand that man. Played Colts against him many moons ago arrogant Wan#@r but could play

Liam Ryan
He had no impact against Peel when they had their full compliment of defenders in the side. He was ineffective against them in 2016 & 2017 which is why as I've said in other threads I have my doubts on him. Most Meth Coast supporters are wetting themselves because they have never actually seen him live. We know what their supporter base is like and they have no time for the WAFL. Anything they know anout him is based on his highlights, the Meth Coast Australian, 6PR and Channel 7 pumping him up.

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
I'm hoping not. I'd like to have an annual Round 1game Saturday arvo vs Collingwood at the G with the QB return. Split both gates

Best MFC team in last 50 years
Good team Big Carl just a couple of changes to the 22 in bold. I loved Connolly when I was a kid before he was cut down by injury

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
How does that work, one is a multiple AA whilst the other put one really good season together. It's like comparing Dean Cox to Jamar

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
All i will say is the club (despite many deelanders liking to think are amateurish specifically over the Watts scenario) are very forward thinking and post Neeld are are extremely professional. Contingency plans are in place for both options. They may not bare fruit but all options are being explored

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
I believe we are already all over this and plan B is already being worked on.

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Pretty good assessment DA I agree with your top 3 but would have 4. De Goey 5. Weller I see a fair bit of Freo living over here and think they have both Weller and Blakely coming nicely. Blakely is going to be an inside beast. De Goey has some X factor about him and a decent player who will become a goal kicking mid

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Welcome to the club Jake On first glance looked like overs giving up first-round pick next year but a few things when viewing the deal in its entirety. 1. The defence just improved dramatically with a) biggest deficiency - namely lack of intercept marker to rebound is now covered b) Hibberd no longer has to float across as third man up and can now provide greater attacking penetration with his ball use c) The domino effect with Lever and Hibberd reduces the accountability on Hunt and allows him to run and carry more d ) Bernie Vince can now solely be used at what he now does best when match ups require it -Tag 2. The deal getting done early is clearly showing we are not done yet and have other moves in the pipeline 3. With the anticipated 2nd rounder coming for Watts we will have 3 x 2nd rounders. 4. I susect we will give up 2 of those 2nd rounders to get back into the 1st round. 5. I also suspect Kent and/or JKH and a change of picks somewhere will be part of the Balic deal

2017 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
I wouldn't mind getting Oscar Allen with a pick in the 20s. Not a KPF but the kid has desire to learn and ability to build a tank which I see him eventually developing into a big bodied mid wjo moves forward as a forward threat

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
You get 2 drafts right close together and you set yourself up very well for multiple flag tilts Cats in 99 & 2001 drafts got Enright, Corey, Scarlett, Stevie J, Ablett, Chapman, Bartel and Kelly. Hawks in 2001 & 2004 got Hodge, Ellis, Mitchell, Franklin, Roughead & Lewis
