Thanks guys.  Enjoyed it as usual.  The highlight for me was Josh saying that Jake Lever will be travelling to the States in January, to undertake the same intensive post knee reco rehab program that Tracc did.  I hadn't heard that before.

 

Just listened to it - well done as always chaps. 

I was wondering though, do you have to supply the interviewee with the questions in advance of the interview and if so, did Josh hit any of them on the head and if so, what did he want to avoid?

TIA

We've never been asked to supply questions in advance.

There's no way May goes no.1 this year.

I rate him highly and think our team/list is more balanced with May over Hogan, but he wouldn't go near no.1.

we believe he is worth at least pick 6. otherwise we would have gone to the draft.

He's worth pick 6 to us.  Our days of piling up kids are gone.  We're trying to win a flag in 2019.

If he was a 27 year old in an open draft this year I doubt he goes top 10.

Completely agree with @It's Time on Jones. His decision making is a real worry. Under the pump in 2018 he coughed it up a lot. And his inside 50s have always been ordinary - they're very Brent Moloney. Long and hopeful.

But as you say, there is a romanticism about Jones holding up the cup, which I can understand, but it's clouding people's judgement on where he's at and his value to the team.

I reckon Jones needs to play the forward pressure role ANB has and hope he can make a mark there, because if KK comes in and makes a mark, Jones won't have a wing position. I'd play Fritsch, KK and Harmes there.

After Harmes performance in the second half of the year we are unlikely to see him in anything but a run with role in which he wins plenty of his own ball.

Must be clouding the FDs judgement too.  Still waiting to hear your explanation of his 4th finish in the BnF?

Not working for me... have tried and tried and i get nothing.

Oh well, i cbf'd listening for over an hr anyway.

Back to Scotch, Netflix,.Redtube

Definitely the Scotch.

The good thing is they won't be rushing back Lever. I would hate to see him do another knee for the third time. Give him the 12 months off and I don't expect him to be back in the team until Rnd 10.

Why didn't you ask Josh if we were picking up a delisted free agent this year?

Good show?

Lots of Jones haters on here pretending to be Dees supporters.

Like Fifty stated and I categorically agree, how does he finish 4th in the BnF?

Why does his position in the bnF have any bearing on the conversation over his role in the team moving forward? Clarko didn't roll out the red carpet of a long contract for Lewis or Mitchell after they finished in the top 2 or 3 of their bNf. He saw the writing on the wall that a 3 years contract was not going to benefit the team, and traded them somewhere that would benefit them individually. I'm not suggesting anything like that, i'm only suggesting that having the conversation about Jones, his strengths and weaknesses and his role or position in the team next year and the years after, does not make you a hater.

  • 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.
