Matthew Lloyd has also provided some insightful commentary on us, via 3AW with Gerard Healy and Dwayne Russell.

"Melbourne won't play finals, Gerard. You just can't trust them" - Matthew Lloyd, Monday Feb 19 (before JLT 1)

"I tell you who's a real smokey for top 4, Gerard. It's Melbourne" - Matthew Lloyd, Monday Feb 26 (after JLT 1)

 

I feel sorry for Blight, who has seemed more demented for the best part of a decade or more. Whereas, I cannot recall a single piece of commentary from Lloyd in almost a decade of his media twaddle that has provoked any thought whatsoever, other than the thought that he is without doubt king of the muppets. An absolute embarrassment with even less credibility than a bloke with a name like Dwayne.

And no wonder I don't listen to 3AW. Lloyd and Russell trying to outmuppet each other.

It's an interesting opinion coming from Blight given he sacked a bunch of Crows legends as soon as he got there in order to play younger players. Including a teenager who was fantastic in their first grand final win. The young player back then is now our coach!

He's just forgotten, mate and is now desperately trying to get a wage by saying something (anything) in the media.

Well what a wide sweeping statement without the appropriate research, thought Blight was better than that.

1993 Flag Essendon : 7 with 100 games, 7 with more than 50 games, 6 with less than 50 games (total 20 players)

1997 Flag Adelaide : 5 with 100 games, 9 with more than 50 games, 7 with less than 50 games (total 21 players)

1998 Flag Adelaide : 8 with 100 games, 7 with more than 50 games, 7 with less than 50 games (total 22 players)

2008 Flag Hawthorn : 9 with 100 games, 10 with more than 50 games, 3 with less than 50 games (total 22 players)

2016 Flag Bulldogs : 6 with 100 games, 7 with more than 50 games, 9 with less than 50 games (total 22 players)

2017 Flag Richmond : 11 with 100 games, 4 with more than 50 games, 7 with less than 50 games (total 22 players)

2018 Demons at end of home & away : 10 with 100 games, 10 with more than 50 games, 2 with less than 50 games (total 22 players)

Difficult to really make a valued argument that the Dees wont have the experience to make finals on the above comparisons.

 I would rather have Petracca with 39 games so far Gawn with 74 games Hogan 51 Lever 56 Oliver 35 Brayshaw 36 Hunt 41 Stretch 36, Tyson 90 and Viney 88.  Better than many 100 game players and there are more. Many clubs would drool over the talent that we have   and many of us are proud to have them playing for our Great club.

So Blight you have not done your homework. We might not win the Premiership this year but we are sure Going to give it a RED HOT GO!

Where we have a lot of room for improvement is in the team cohesion from guys playing with each other year after year. But that's true of a lot of teams and the Richmond forward line came together very quickly last year as did the Dogs entire side the year before. 

 

Strung some wins together and got confident at the right time of the year.

The only thing that surprises me about this is that it has managed to clock up 4 pages as a thread... seriously, why do any of us care about what ANY media pundit has to say, good or bad?

I understand the angst about the influence of gambling on footy (and fully support the idea of banning all advertisement for it).

But one thing it is good for is an assessment tool stripped of emotion and subjectivity. Money talks.

Sportsbet currently has us at 1.80 to make the eight. That is pretty short. Under even money (a coin toss is even money).

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
