    Particularly as the starting 18 at the Casey Demons are overwhelmingly Viney’s Melbourne Demons teammates!

    Maybe the Casey Demons will profit from his charisma (and Hunt’s pace) against the unbeaten Box Hill Hawks?

    There are probably occasions when we can utilise a “mossie fleet” utilising our interchanges and bring back Salem and Viney, however the inevitable will mean that our ‘best 22’ (out of 44] will never be available as our ‘injury list’ swells/retracts. Nice thought though! ? Goodwin and the FD will just have pick the best players who are match-fit on the day!
  4. At the moment, Jetta, Lever and Vince are still in our bottom six, T. Mac hasn’t started climbing and Viney hasn’t even approached the ladder (along with Baker et al)! It makes for an interesting finish!
  5. A worthy wearer of jumper 31!

    With no first round pick in 2018 or 2019, I am not sure how you intend to get Lynch, Gaff and Sloane (or why you would trade out Hogan and Gawn, two of our most popular and talented players)? Even with the most convoluted trade deal imaginable, I am not sure that our FD will run with it!

  9. Thank God for the five players we brought in. Four of them kicked the majority of our goals! ?
  10. He developed a group of Premiership players that Beveridge was the beneficiary of!
  11. Bit difficult to tell from the radio commentary however he seemed like he saw a bit of the pill!
  12. Wagner played yesterday so he is guaranteed to be out!
  13. I am not there [and frankly didn't know about it] however as an East Melbourne resident I was cursing about all the loud speaker announcements blaring out for the last few hours. Suddenly I heard "A Grand Old Flag" [1st verse only] sung with gusto. Now they can make as much noise as they like!

    If Port had of had the selection before us they would also have selected (South Australian) Toumpas (leaving us with Wines) as that was clearly the ranking at that stage. Whilst we knew the type of player Wines was, I suspect we envisaged that Toumpas was destined to be Robbie Flower reincarnated and that we had pulled off a coup. Things don’t always turn out as scripted! ?
  15. Even eclipses pick 53 for brother Oscar. ?
  16. I think that the player who will really make us pay this year is Jack Trengove, last year’s Casey Demons B&F. Our Casey team looks pretty formidable this year but would be enhanced further by retaining Jack on the Casey list (where we re-allocated Garland)!
  17. My brother’s first wife was a Collingwood supporter and his daughter followed Collingwood and his son the Demons. Then Dermott Brererton joined Collingwood (who she hated) and she has been a Melbourne supporter ever since.
  18. My 92yo father came to the football with me, my daughter and my brother and saw a win just before he passed away. He had not renewed his membership because of his mobility problems however the Club still sent him a scarf. He died thinking we might be Premiering contenders this year.
  19. Try Airbnb. You should be able to get $80-100/night close to the “G”!
  20. The paper had North Melbourne recruiting a ruckman 76cm tall and weighing 201kg! Don’t believe everything you read! ?
  21. Today’s Australian did a nice article on him! In fact it is interesting that they selected him to do a feature article on rather than any of the First Round draft picks! ?
  22. Do we have a Rookie pic? I thought that it was only four pics in the main draft.?
  23. We don’t clash with anyone however the white makes us clash with St Kilda. Why do we need an away jumper? In the old days it was black and white shorts (and those were the days when a mud patch in the centre and in front of goals ensured both teams had black shorts at the end)! These days there is no such problem (plus we have red socks as well)!

  25. As far as I’m concerned, I just want to see them finish above Essendon (& well outside the eight)!
