Just in case anyone forgot this thread existed.

So Fitzy would have been a top ten pick last year barring injury, stoked we got him at 50. We're going to have to cut a few of our rucks this off-season, bye bye Spencer, Martin, PJ and possibly Meesen. For any of those we could probs get a good deal, even though they play like spuds for us.

Hawthorn v Melbourne Demons, MCG, Sunday 2.10pm (EST)
The Adjudicator says: "How good would it be to see the Demons sneak into the eight? They could make a movie From spoon to September. Tim Robbins is 196cm, the tallest actor to win an Academy Award. He might be able to play Jimmy Stynes. Danny Devito or Joe Pesci would make a decent Dean Bailey and Zac Efron could pass for Jack Watts. The scurrilous suggestions Kate Hudson would pass for Watts is being ignored by Mr A for now. As for the Hawks, they're in a bit of strife. They do enjoy belting the Demons these days however and have to win to stay in the eight."

Watts commencing contract talks with Dees, not that anyone though he would leave

Sylvia will be on SEN after 1:00pm today.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Did pretty well i thought big Syl! Always looks/sounds so relaxed in media situations.

 

[Crimson Azure]

DB on SEN right now, he just stated they are looking at a tall forward in this years draft as their ideal pick to work along with Jack but play a little deeper.

Leoncelli steps down as director

ANDREW Leoncelli has stepped down as a Melbourne board member due to business and family commitments.

Leoncelli, who played 146 matches from 1996-2003, joined the board in 2007 and was part of the Jim Stynes-ticket, which came into office in mid-2008. But after four years as a director, Leoncelli is not offering himself for reelection.

Stynes said Leoncelli had been a huge support and great contributor to the club.

Demons unveil new flyer even faster than Flash

AARON Davey might be known as ''Flash'', but the blistering Davey is not the fastest player on the Melbourne list. That distinction belongs to the club's 2008 No. 1 draft pick, Jack Watts.

Interesting...
