 Yeah, he would be a good pickup no matter what we try to say about him to discourage Adelaide and Collingwood, in particular.

Yep, but he was drinking......

 

Insider whispers say he may go top 30, pretty insane for a mature age VFL pick

Along with tricky nixen & a bunch of school leavers. Partying into the wee hours.

makes sense

shallow draft... young player, now proven etc etc

The only question is his bulk and ground skills. Have been saying for months he is late second or early third. Perhaps he could end up at the Eagles as one of those several mid 20 picks they have.

Cannot see him at the MFC as we are once again short of outside mids.

The flip side is that the VFL lists do not seem to be throwing up a large number of late bloomers. Surprising because numerically they should be there.

Bayley Fritsch  and Petrucelle for me, this year. Both are too good to miss. 

 

What have I started here?

PS. I heard he just developed a leather allergy.

Redleg, footballers are complex things. Young footballers, without an intense understanding of their direction, are even more complex. You didn't start anything wrong, that's for sure. You just brought to our combined attention the considerably unfavourable aspects of one of our potential interests in the draft. We all thank you for this. We are reflecting on your advice. That other members of the site wish to also annotate their experiences with this young player, be it so. To be really effective, we need to send daily up-dated copies to anyone who can read at the Collingwood Football Club and even to the The Crows.

That's only because he is blind in one eye and has 5/20 vision in his 'good' eye. So there. At least he is trying.

If they're really that good, won't they get selected before our picks..?

Very suprised Fritsch was not in the AFL draft hub list of 94 potential draftees for tomorrow. Not even as a smokey


Fritsch,Hamish Brayshaw,Petrucelle and Toby Woller are my slections.

If Andrew Brayshaw is taken by an interstate club, I expect them to also take his brother if possible, to lessen the go home factor.

Taylor will pick one if not two of the Hudafarcisatt brothers.

  • 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.
