‘I kicked 10 on him’: Cheeky draft banter as AFLX captains reveal full teams

..."But the funniest moment of the night came when Betts selected ex-Sun and new Dees defender Steven May to join the side.

Betts said May could play on the likes of Hawkins and Riewoldt. But the star Tiger was quick to remind Betts of his double-digit goal heroics against the Suns in 2018. “I kicked 10 on him last year,” Riewoldt quipped.

 

Hardly a boast against the Suns team of last year, but a good little cheap shot for Steve May to take on board and remember the disrespect paid to him by Riewoldt when we play the Tigers in round 6 - payback time!!

  ...he can use this AFLX rubbish as practic to stalk him and psych him out.

With his knack for getting suspended, I'd rather he didn't get too angry.

Exactly what we want Riewoldt and every other key forward in the league thinking.  The threat of violence is often more powerful than the act it's self.

Whilst not a great stat against May it's hardly an indictment of the man and his abilities considering he was playing in a team that hardly put up a fight out of the middle.

 

Looks like only 2 or 3 in the first half and 1 in the second half were on May. 

I'm more interested in seeing a fitter more motivated and in a better side version of May than any personal revenge.

That said, Jack does a pretty good job disguising the high opinion he holds of himself but every now and then he lets it slip.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
