Interesting article and it would indicate that we will be looking at someone like Acres 189/84, Sheed 184/83 or Freman 181/85.

Either that or he is trying to spook Collingwood in to taking Freeman at 6 and we snap up Bontempelli at 9 or vise versa.

Freeman is 185, they are old stats. He will be a great pickup!

Where is the proof?

Those old stats would be from the draft camp which was a couple of weeks ago.

The aspect to this that I Iike most is that Roos is Roos . He doesn't need verifications form a handful of hacks to suggest we've done well or stuffed it etc. He is on the front foot saying we've done better than ok this trade and we've got some good pickups. He's happy , Melbourne's happy. Effectively we're winners.

The dodgy estate dwellers (media ) now have Roos to contend with. He will set the agenda and not the other way around.

I clearly remember Sydney recruiters watching ROHAN/CUNNINGTON

roos wanted rohan because of SPEED and acknowledged cunnington as a future hard ball champ

but at the end of the day wanted rohan as he preferred speed over hardball gets

just an insight into the R:OOS way

don't know but his motto is

must have athletic skill and speed

this was made quite clear in the rohan pick by his scouts

OK I will bite!

What did the Venetians do for us?

I thought it was the Romans.

I think Jonathon Marsh was fastest this year ahead of Nathan Freeman

While Freeman is expected to go high, Marsh on the other hand has many opinions according to experts

The fastest recorded sprint is Joel Wilkinson

Being the fastest is just a stat

The point i am making is that Joel Wilkinson was delisted

Look at the 3 km

Expected high draft pick Josh Kelly has the 2nd best 3km time

Guess how many games the record holder has played ?

Some would struggle to even remember the name of Tom Rischbieth

He also had a 15.08 beep test which is impressive

I am starting to think our game recruiters have started to realize that having natural footy skills and smarts is making a comeback as an important component

of AFL other than sheer athletic ability

should ALWAYS be the fist consideration. Somethings can be worked on and improved; a natural head for the game is either there or it isnt.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
