The squad is - R. Douglas, B. Vince (Adelaide); R. Gray (Port Adelaide); J. Frawley, B. Green, J. Trengove (Melbourne); S. Grigg, J. King, R. Nahas (Richmond); J. Kelly, D. Wojcinksi (Geelong); B. McGlynn (Sydney); T. McKenzie, Z. Smith (Gold Coast); S. Milne (St Kilda); A. Monfries (Essendon)...
I've got Josh Toy on my mind. Might be too young but is a very good player and exactly what we need.
Can go inside and out, has good hands, a stunning 50-65m boot out of defence and run off half-back.
Anyone else? This is just a start of course.
Was tempted to make this thread on the Bay.
**** **** **** WE'VE LOST TO PORT.
I really hope we haven't tanked today but we do love that number 12 draft pick.
Frawley - AA, Jones - 2011 B&F candidate and Lucas Cook - Under 18 All-Australian CHF.
This had better be worth it...
Everyone knows how good we are against interstate teams at the MCG. Adelaide by 96, Freo by 89, Sydney by 72, etc.
Cold Toast have played 20 games and their flimsy youngsters are now exhausted at the end of the season. Plus this is the first time they're playing at the 'G where we reign...
Any ideas on who we will be picking up? First rounder is vitally important but it's those late picks that will really make a difference.
IMHO we need a few small forwards and a half back flanker like Heppell. A bit of class and someone who can go in and win a hard ball. Needs to be a good...

Hate to make a thread on here, but I wasn't sure where else to ask this.
Obviously Cox has been fairly magnificent this year. West Coast have won most of their games, and he's usually starred (as indicated by a Champion Data ranking of 126!) no matter what the result.
The contenders from...
Seriously, this guy doesn't nearly get the accolades that he deserves. It's been a rough couple of weeks and with the Scully GWS/injury news, he continues to fly under the raider.
24 all class disposals, 7 marks and 10 tackles on Saturday in a 13 goal loss, against a midfield compromised of...
To go to next Saturday's game I will have to blow off some music and hockey commitments.
I absolutely REFUSE to do this unless they make some serious statements and drop players who were absolute shit today and have been for parts of the season.

....our best player?
If we were playing a grand final tomorrow, what would be the first name you write down on the team sheet to win us the game? Personally I'd have to say Frawley. Incredible just how much he has improved, has some incredible attributes as a key defender but also rebounding...
Right, what are we going to do about it? If we could snare O'Meara with a few of our mature bodied midfielders and/or draft picks we could have some serious talent running around. But what would it take? Few other very good players there such as Crouch, Kennedy, etc.
Oh and one thing I know...
I think it's gotten to a point where Demon's fans are spilling their Cale abuse and defence all over this forum, let alone the Melbourne board.
Where is he at? 4th year in the system and not doing nearly as well as his peers from the draft in Kreuzer, Cotchin, Rioli, Palmer, etc.
Obviously...
Hey guys, I'm doing a work experience placement at the Demons from the 11th of July to the 14th. Just wondering if anyone else on here has done it before? I hear it's a really good program, just not sure what exactly to expect! There are some articles on the MFC website, but I don't want it to...
No doubting we have a massive few weeks ahead, and then then some. Today's a season defining game against another up and coming side, the Crows, but at our home ground. A loss is definitely not acceptable.
Then it's an interesting two weeks. North have been FA this season, but have generally...
..Who do you want?
Personally I'm thinking one or two of their many talented forwards will leave, due to the coming salary cap constraints on them. They're already paying Ablett a pile, plus Swallow, Bennell, Caddy, Matera etc will be asking for a lot from their midfield. Amongst about 20...
From different people I keep hearing different reviews of the major mobile phone companies, 3, Vodafone, Optus and Telstra.
Is there actually a difference between 3 and Vodafone's reception? Because I thought they had the same towers, etc? Which phone company and prepaid/sim only plan would...
Figured we needed a thread where we could just vent about everything random that happens over the next three months, rather than starting a new thread for everything.
Have there been any injuries so far? Really looking forward to seeing how Tom Scully goes with a full pre-season under his...
Which one of our out of contract players do you see going up north? Bruce and Miller look to be the most likely but there are others.
Also guess what kind of compensation we'd get for them...

Any one see it? The first time in TSFS history that it went to an opposite foot kick off, after the right foot kick off tied at 23 all.
Jack kicked two 7's on his left while his opponent Sharrd Wellingham matched him on the first one, and then hooked it into Nathan Brown on the second...
This is the first year we've actually bought the entertainment book, and of course the first thing I looked for were discount tickets on AFL games. The ones I found say one AFL Reserve admission for every other one purchased. Does this mean you have to be an AFL/club member or can just anyone...
Muralitharan retires from international cricket
Muralitharan retires from international cricket
The end of a great career. I though he was meant to retire later in the year but obviously not. Shane Warne will be like "Finally!"
I really hope he plays the world cup.

Hmm. So are we trying to free up space for draftees or trade in some more...
We've been saying for a while that we're struggling without forward targets. Richmond have one, and he's 21 years old.
If we put a good mark into our forward 50 we could solve this problem. Someone like Brad Green or Colin Sylvia would be a much better target than Riewoldt. It's so obvious...
Who in your opinion has been the best ruckman drafted within the first three picks. This may seem like a stupid poll but it's incredible to think there have been so many drafted with the number one pick, or even touted to be picked as number 1, particularly in the 1990's and just in the last...
I was really impressed today. Looked like a good kick, good in a contest, quick and solid ball handing. Looks like a good mark too, the complete midfield package.
He'll have a big advantage on other number 1 draft picks too, in that he's had some VFL time coming into his first AFL season. One...
I suppose we've been really lucky for the last ten years, as we've had a standout ruck man the whole time. Of course some premiership teams go without one, namely the Hawks and Port, but it might have been one of the things that kept us in the finals for the better part of the decade.
First...
Looking at my Team of the Decade poster I read for about the thousandth time that Nick Riewoldt was the only number one draft pick in that team. And that got me thinking, is he the best number one draft pick of all time? Which players are the best for the draft pick that used for them?
So far...
