    As someone said earlier, the common trend with most of those players in the photo is they aren't natural competitors.

    Viney, Kent, Salem, Hogan, T. McDonald, Petracca, Brayshaw, Oliver, vandenBerg, Tyson, N. Jones, Gawn, Stretch, ANB, Jetta and Harmes all are naturally far more competitive.

    not a single person said it at the time though

    'oh these skinny non-competitors are going to get us nowhere'

    I know I am being blatantly negative but it is it that hard to look 5 years down the track and see people lamenting 'all these tough competitors with no skills or brains' or whatever

    point is that hindsight is crazy accurate, presentsight not so much

    We had trust in the guy who drafted them, if he did his job properly he would have identified this and never recruited them in the first place.

    Good call ManDee although I think Bennell may be Emo Maric.

    I remember Addam was billed in his junior days as possessing "clean hands and elite kicking skills". I sort of pictured him as our next Yze. Unfortunately we beat those attributes out of him and saw a fumbly, small player with Melbourne kicking skills instead.

    It's Addam Maric, not Bennell - they're supposed to be top 20 picks.

    That's one of those useless pieces of knowledge that, no matter how hard I try to evict it from my memory, it just keeps on squatting there, taking up the room that could be used by something vitally important..

    It's more than that. 

    All of those players were inducted into the MFC when the environment and culture was beginning its long and gradual erosion. Having the desire to perform well is one thing but if the workplace culture is shytes and giggles, it sets you up for failure. We bagged Scully at the time but if we are true to general commentary of that era, there's little wonder he was unimpressed - millions aside.

    JT is a competitor but was guided by loyalty, the same with Grimes.

    Its the development versus talent argument. You need to provide the environment to bring out the fierce competitor in people.

    We have that now.

    I can answer that  - he played 31 but as he made seven horcrux's , which meant splitting his soul 7 times  - he effectively played 217 games. Life membership at the MFC !

    I'm more in the camp that we had shyzen d'ment rather than bad drafting. All of the blokes in that picture would have gone very close to the picks we took them at, and at other clubs probably would have all been decent players.

    His present should be to sign another contract extension.

     

    Give him a birthday card with a contract and blank cheque that would do it!

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
