    I wonder what his skills will be like.

    Generally basketballer's are fairly skilled so hopefully he is a good set shot and possibly play in the forward line with Hoges.

    Anybody who is about 1.93 metres and can run sub 2.80 seconds for 20 metres is seriously fast.

    He would have decent peripheral vision, fitness, and adherence to strict instruction to play at a high level of Bball, but that's about all you can read into it as far as how he adapts to footy.

    Most bball players I have come across that move into footy are all over the talent spectrum but they all really buy into the structures - makes sense to them coming from bball.

    We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

    It's the day for it. We're just now getting in touch with Marty McFly to get his signature for next season, last season, and 1987.

    I'm still amazed by the Geelong recruitment of Mark Blicavs in similar fashion and how much he evolved.

    Would love for Smith to become our Blicavs.

    So, what are the rules for a Category B Rookie? Does he need to be upgraded like any other rookie if he is to play? For the purpose of playing list numbers, does he take one of the rookie spots? How many years can he stay on the list as a Category B Rookie?

    Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement.

    Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period.

    Wow!

    I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities.

    The drums are sounding and it feels great.

    Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

    Not hoping for much but there is your Howe replacement if he has decent mitts...

    Me....back six months ago...

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
