    Does Bontempelli not age?   He has been 22 for 5 years.

    So it is age 'under 22' from the start of the season/year I gather?

    Obviously Lever would be in if not injured for mroe than half the season.

    It is nice to think that from two very strong drafts (2014 and first round of 2015) we've managed to gather perhaps 4 of the top 5 players.

    Also, that age category method means Fritsch still has next year, and you'd have to be pretty confident he'll get there.

    Its just nice, y'know, just nice.

    Clarry, He is a Gun footballer, Angus  and Petrac  they are not far behind. Congrats on making the under 22 side. The 3 Amigo's will be on display against the Cats next Friday and beyond.  Beware of the 3 Amigo's for the next  decade. They're out to get ya!

    Scene: it's September (or near as dammit).

    Instead of studying the likely early draft picks, you are getting fired up about finals tickets.

    You are studying the AA team, alternately gloating, and groaning that MORE Demons were not recognized.

    You are studying the 22under22, gloating/groaning.

    You are wondering if Max will finish 1st or 2nd in the Brownlow.

    You are feeling remarkably at peace with the world.

    Now the question, true or false: ARE YOU DREAMING?

    Anyone know the list of players that have made both All Australian and the under 22 team?

    It must be a special achievement by our Clarry.

    Botempelli, Josh Kelly and Zac Merrett would be my first guesses.

    What's obvious from this year's team is how long it takes to develop as a ruckman.  Most of those picked are comfortably in their sides best 22.  Not to be disrespectful to Darcy, but he'd struggle to get a regular game at most teams.  Looks like Trac has to come off the bench to relieve in the ruck as well.

    Presumably from the start of the AFL season. Patrick Cripps turned 23 on 18 March. I can only assume he missed out on age rather than for any other reason.

    And what a world of pain St Kilda is in. At least Carlton, Brisbane and Freo have some young stars.

    Gresham and Ronke on the ground before Trac. 

    Please! 

    I agree with you regarding Ronke, however Gresham has had a much better season the Trac,

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
