    As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

    As much as we hope we look far and wide, we will more then likely end up with more Casey players on our list.

    Well, I wouldn't pay it.

    We are already in talks with Sydney! Don’t know the full details.

    Also have held discussions with Nathan Freeman. I am only assuming for the mid-draft.

    Is it just me or is this the most epically and deviously planned tanking ever

    prelim 18

    surgeries to 5000 players

    bottom 4 ‘19

    high draft ‘19

    2020-2024 gfs

    epic

    I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

    2017 - 1st pick 29 Spargo 2nd pick 31 Fritch

    2018 - 1st pick 27 Tom Sparrow  2nd pick 33 James Jordan - Too early to say stuff ups.

    Plenty of lemons went before Fritch and not many stars after him. I think Sparrow will be OK

    Spargo & Fritch have played 50 games between them, even Freo who picked Brayshaw & Cerra have less games from their first 2 picks (picks 2 & 5) Yes I would rather have Brayshaw & Cerra but we didn't have pick  2 & 5

    He isn’t the sort of speedy player I’m after. He is fast like Hibbo is fast. In that he runs fast and turns it over. No thanks.

    Yep. He’s terrible too. 

    I haven’t updated that fave player thing in 3 years. Clearly.

    Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of. 

  • Quote

    Not sure who we are into, but would like to see what we would get in return for Frost, OMac, Petracca, Garlett, Hunt, ANB and Viney. 

    This year will define us and we need to be ruthless. We have severely overestimated our list.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
