Steele Sidebottom dominating TAC GF.

Featured Replies

Anyone have any idea where he was roughly projected to go, prior to tonight? Just wondering- if he was expected to go later than pick 17 then that obviously leaves us with more options than we thought. Does this effect us, or not really?

6 - 12 prior to this.

    Agreed 100%.

    I wish everyone would shut up about Watts, he is seriously overrated.

    I am starting to warm to Sidebottom as our number 1 pick.

    Number 1 pick for Sidebottom, now you are being silly this guy will go in late first round or second round at worst, BOG in TAC G/F game does not warrant picked firstprefer the National championship form over that

    Hence the hype on the top three

    I remember the year Amon Buchanan was drafted, he got BOG in the TAC Cup GF for the Geelong Falcons after dominating in the midfield and then going to FF in the second half, doing a jeff farmer and winning the game for them by kicking 6 goals. Or it might have even been 8.

    Its not unheard of for a player to look superhuman in a game like that, then turn out to be thoroughly average at AFL level.

    Just wait till you see some highlights from the draft camp this week.

    I bet you'll change your number one pick to some random youngster that can jump really high.

    You are a fool.

    Look YM. Melbourne are going to pick Watts, no question. Best to start liking him or you will hate our best young player. I originally didn't want Watts but I decided to watch some game tape, seen him play 6 games now and he is the best. Start looking at positives because he is the number 1.

    Sidebottom doesn't deserve to be top 5, one amazing game doesn't equal the best. Ziebell, Hartlett, Vickery, Naitanui, Rich, Watts, Hurley are all better than him and would deserve our pick 1 ahead of him.

    Especially when he's not manned up by the opposition defenders who were ordinary. How did he go in the championships when he had quality players on him?

    Watts is the one. End of Story, get used to it.

    how did watts go in the tac cup when he had less quality players playing on him? answer: for a potential number 1 pick, he was useless..sidebottom dominates at that level like a top pick should

    Probably better than Jack 'The Invisible Man' Watts in the carnival Final.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
