I will be keeping a close eye on Kielty, Petty, Spargo, Maynard, Chandler and Jordan.

The biggest attraction of this game will be finding Goodwin in the crowd and giving him a spray up close.

Can you keep a close eye on Oskar Baker too please - more likely to crack a game before any of the last 3 you mention IMO

 

thx

Kielty-might make it

Petty-too skinny and too raw

Spargo-no pace and can't find the goals

Maynard-vanilla with no pace

Chandler-likely prospect

Jordan-dud

You noticed it too, WWSW? I really like the line of attack and that backline is the best selection of the year. 

i wouldn't write Jordan off he is the youngest on the List...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Petty I think can make it in time - but probably needs exactly that - time. It's a bit weird though that some people are happy to let Weideman learn to be a footballer taking space up in the ones but not Petty who in my mind would most likely contribute just as much

Bit harsh on Spargo - he does need to build an engine and play midfield rather than undersized small forward  

Chandler I have not seen so can't comment

Concur on the others

For a pick in the 30s he is very underwhelming so far

Can the mods get rid of these school kids like Elegt who continue to berate and spew negative [censored] on every single thread about the same [censored] topic. It is tiresome reading through every thread and seeing that [censored] constant negative drivel.

Go for it, but make sure your standing right next to him when you do so he can see the fear in your eyes as you mumble away

There's a thing called freedom of speech. I expressed my opinion on lack of depth, if you don't like it scroll past 

Jordan was impressive in JLT... of all the newbies he struck me as a good long term prospect... Saying that Petty is skinny shows your lack of knowledge!

He's next on my ignore list.  Happy for people to have differing views when they take a few minutes to present it in a constructive manner.  This bloke just badgers you like a five year old.  Not worth your time.

So Master* Elegt 

You have seen a lot of Jordan up close over a long period to come to this opinion I presume 

* presuming you are male but perhaps you are from Tasmania so haven’t yet had an opportunity to decide

Watched tac cup gf, JLT 1 and vfl game vs AIS and he was underwhelming in all 3. Seems to lack the defensive nous I'd expect from a second round pick. I hope I'm proven wrong and it may be a premature decsion to write him off after three games but he just does not seem like the type of player we needed in last year's draft.

So he is a dud ( offensive term at the worst of times) but for a bottom aged first year player I just cannot respect anyone using such terminology 

PS I too hope you are very wrong 

 

@KC from Casey where is Mykelti Lefau at? I thought with our lack of tall forward options he would be a regular this year. Is he a chance to get a look by AFL clubs this year?

Petty. Jordan. Sparrow are the ones to watch.  They should become good players. 

Chandler is a boy but cheeky smart fwd pocket. Unlikely to make it but fun to watch. 

Bedford is the wildcard. Could be the answer as the elusive magical forward pocket type  I like his pace.

Maynard should be given a go.  I like him above ANB. We need to see if he’s up to the AFL tempo.  If not, then he must be delisted  

Spargo should be traded. He has nothing special.  At 173 cms, he needs much more pace and strength over the footy.

  • 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.
