I checked it out and the size is right. I think I'll just have to wait for the current logo or run with the older ones. Thanks BA

Having moved some months ago, I find myself with an existing flagpole and would like nothing better than to hoist up a demon's flag (preferably at the pointy end of the season). I've combed the online demons shop and no luck for flags. Can anyone tell me where I can get a big mother? Cheer squad members? Anyone? Cheers

To clarify, the AFL leant on us to take Schwab too, so they don't necessarily know what they're doing. But, enough of this sad trip down memory lane. Cant wait for 2017!

Me too! In the end, it doesn't matter who finally flicked Watts' switch, just that it happened. It shows we've got a top notch coaching panel

I think it's just as much (or more so) the other one - the 'educator' Jennings (cant remember the first name).

He's got 5 kids and at least two (but I think 3) are boys. Naturally, all 5 will be playing for Melbourne!

Yes, I get your point and mine was one of semantics and - insert pi symbol here - (side splitting humour). As far as the rest of it goes, none of what is represented as being from the Prince, strikes me as rational and is better left alone, so as you say, let's move on.

'The player formerly known as Prince' is the correct title, strictly speaking. Having said that, while the Demonland community dumping on Prince is getting a good run, I think, even request, posters should try and factor in the mental health issues happening here.

Of course it is. Crap timeslot crap venue.

I'll take a punt and tip one or both rookies are from left field

I would answer that, but I'd just be surmising

Are you surmising this?

And, saving the best for last - Quigley's draft rankings: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/quigleys-2016-draft-rankings.1152444/

Snoop Dog's Phantom National and Rookie Drafts are now up: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/snoop-dog-afl-2016-phantom-draft.1152419/ A good read!

Yep, much prefer this year's. It looks like a 5 minute job and while I get the branding intent here, perhaps they could've got in a professional.

I thought he'd front up early, just for having missed so much footy in the second half of the season. It's a bit odd, but perhaps he's just doing his own program and will return later and raring to go (with the other old codgers)

I think I'd rather risk that rookie spot on Keilty than McKernan if that's the way we go.

Can we not go there.....please

I don't think we need to get too technical. All we need is Rory Lobb and Josh Kelly from GWS - problem solved

Chris from Camberwell?

Who's the 5th photo off? Maynard King? Cheers

Roger that!

Below are Melbourne players placed in the Top 100s in all categories of disposals etc. They are AVERAGES per game and once players hit 5 games, they qualify. You be the judge. IMO some are telling, the odd surprise, some are meaningless and some need to be taken in context or are distorted by the small number of games played. To me it says, if we continue on the same trajectory, we are finals bound, particularly if we can feature less in the Clanger count. Each stat category is followed by the players name and where they feature in the Top 100.
