Ha, nice one. All three have had great stories/careers but it's crunch time for Hoarse come years end. They haven't got the mix of inside/outside quite right.

If the Swans pick up for arguments sake Yarran, recycle a tall defender, and genuine crumbing small plus they will snavel another quality mid through the academy they're away again. They can afford to loose an inside mid and a top end draft pick.

    Fair call, there was a ready made defender who may go 5-10 in the draft , I mentioned his name a week or so ago( just can't think of it now). Can they trade established player for pick?

    Not sure of all the details, except they certainly cannot trade a big name player in.

    The should take the AFL to court

    Giants vs the Druggies. I'm not sure which side I want to fail more. Fortunately it's an ugly low-scoring game, so they both look pretty crap right now. You'd back us to beat either side based on this.

    Scully subbed off with a shoulder injury. Not that we hold any ill-feeling towards the lad or anything.

    Edit: He had 5 touches to 3/4 time! Worth every cent!

    Should be a good run to the finals. North, Richmond, Geelong, Adelaide and now GWS will all be just one win apart with four games to play.

    GWS need to beat Port next week, but if they can get that win, and assuming they beat Carlton at home in Round 22, they could well be playing for a finals spot when they play us in the last round. Would make the game that much more interesting if so.

    Geelong and Adelaide may well be playing off in Round 23 for the other finals spot, the way things are going.

    And the strange thing about that would also be what happened the last time they were due to play. Would be extra cruel if Adelaide missed out by half a game. I think they'll make it, though.

    A bit like Goddard moving from the Saints to the Druggies searching for the ultimate prize :-))

    I love what the Dogs are doing and I think they'll be too good for us at Etihad, but I've just had a look at their draw.

    They haven't beaten a top 8 side since Round 5. In fact, they even haven't played a side in the top 8 since Round 9. Since they bye they've played Geelong, who weren't in the 8 at the time, and otherwise have played 7 of the bottom 8, with the 8th side (us) to come this week. That's a ridiculously soft draw.

    I noticed that as well tu...it just shows how ordinary all but the top 4 teams are this year.

    I guess they can only beat who they play and they have done that very well.

    Such is the good fortune when a bottom 6 side has talent and hits form.

    Port were bottom 6 and had a 'soft' draw in Hinkley's first year. They also made the most of the opportunity.

    It is a fabulous time to build belief and confidence that comes from winning regularly.

    Of course the following year the draw is harder but some of that 'winning culture' carries over.

    Next year will be our opportunity to take advantage of a bottom 6 draw!

    Learn to win! Then, learn to 'put teams to the sword'!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
