Given that there are going to be some additional picks available through free agency compensation plus a number of picks moving through trades and all the way through to draft night, I wouldn't be studying the current draft positions too closely because they aren't going to match the final draft order.

Is it too late to post a rumour about Nathan Jones replacing VDB in this week's 22?

Steven May
Jay Lockhart
Bayley Fritsch
Christian Salem

Why is Martin’s manager writing off Melbourne’s interest so easily? Shouldn’t he be best representing his client by encouraging another club to deal with him? 

Apparently had a cyst removed.

Can worry someone playing in heat and humidity in the few days after the operation.

Good thing was that he didn't use it as an excuse.

Loch Ness is no longer a myth. 

Definitely Preuss and Nessie were separated at birth.

If only the umpires gave us a run like this when we played them there we would probably have finished top 4.

Thanks for the sentiments fifty but I reckon that most of us are pretty die hard, rusted on Demons and we'll always give the club our wholehearted support no matter what.

Is there any danger that we can try being humble and magnanimous and stop this stupidity about JW?

He's wasn't a [censored] like Scully.

Let him be.

 I just want to go on record as saying this thread was renamed without my consultation and totally against my will.

You would prefer multiple threads on Demonland about the Fockers?

The noise of affirmation has always been a factor when we play the Eagles.

A few years ago when we were really pathetic they led us by 21 - 1 in frees at half time.

Last year, we beat WCE and the umpires who gave them 27 frees to our 16.

How about we have a closest to the pin on their stats for Sunday?

On a smaller ground Tyson would be more valuable. I have him as a definitie "In" for Hannan.

How many smiley faces does one need?  For that post I apologize, I thought the answer was none.  But for some it would seem it's "many".

Max Gawn and Neville Jetta say hi.

Just sayin.

Even a broken watch tells the right time twice a day.

All of BP's many failed early draft selections say hi as well.

Match stats -

 

Based on the stats alone, Pedo would have had to have been considered if not concussed.

Has anyone heard any news on his injury?

Reading between the lines, my take is they’ve been told not to even think about it because it won’t happen:

No more handouts: Carlton won't seek priority draft pick

Timmy thinks they're making a mistake.

Aim for Matt Ling, Dylan Moore, Toby Wooller and Hayden McLean   

 

Is Toby Wooller related to the former Cat Fred Wooller?

Once again I'm sold on your say-so. Can we send him straight to the wing though? We're always looking to push someone to the wing. Are there no wingers at underage level?

Don't think anyone we draft with 29 or a lower pick is going straight to a wing or anywhere else at Melbourne. Expect a fairly long learning curve in the VFL with Casey first.

Eddie Betts went alright in the forward pocket in his days in the TAC Cup under the same rules which also frown on tagging opponents.

Just to snap you all out of your malaise here it is, but it won't be updated every day as I trust some of you to do the calculation on your calculators.

Jack Watts needed to leave his Demons behind .

I would suggest that the Demons also needed to leave Jack Watts behind. The FD wanted it and we got the best deal we could get.

Port Adelaide was his only realistic destination. The word is that the Cats gave Jack a hard mark on his interview and, after that were not going to take him.

Life goes on ... good luck at Port - Jack.

Also, interesting to see Hulett in the development league. Does anyone know how he's progressing? Is he a delist candidate at years end or will we hang on to him as depth for our talls department?

If he's in the DL after almost two seasons, then he's not progressing very well.

Nice article on the VFL website about one of Casey's youngsters who might just make the grade as a bit of a late bloomer a la Declan Keilty - 

GORDON GOES SOUTH

Feel for the bloke as he's been a good solid player for some time. 

Pies are also missing two other key players in Ben Reid and Travis Varcoe who are both out until the Pies have their bye after the QB game.
