Came third in the one at the end of January in the same week he had a new baby.

So having a baby didn't effect his fitness.

    Lost the babe weight immediately. 

    We’re too far away from being a contender to bring in a 32 year old. Could have been insurance if we were, but alas were not, so it’s a no from me.

    Duplicate 

    A friend told me of some twin girls born at RCH. Kate and Duplicate

    Agree that we are no position to bring in Smith. Wouldn't be on my wish list, but stranger things have happened!

    I've not initiated quoting you since you got me a ban. I've asked you twice to put me on ignore

    Please do not quote me. I will no longer quote you. Honestly, how hard is it?

    Let it go buddy

    I don’t usually do this publicly but I’m sick of you guys all whinging to me about each other.

    May I ask what caused the duplicate? Did you mistakenly hit the Quote button where the Edit button used to be (now the 3 horizontal dots above the right side of your post)?

    Yep that was it. Although I’ve used the 3 dots to edit a few times, muscle memory got me on this occasion and I tapped the usual spot to edit and quoted myself.

    Happening to me too on occasion. I was worried there was some software or server related issue that was causing these "double posts". Glad it's just user error (muscle memory as you so eloquently put it) as a result of the new version of the software's new placement of edit and report functions.

    Not sure why they made such a drastic change but there is nothing I can do about it.

    Better than misquoting yourself methinks

    From AFL.com regarding Smith.

    Ideally searching for a two-year contract and it could still come at Hawthorn. But Smith admitted on RSN radio this week he wasn't 100 per cent sure what his future held. Carlton and Melbourne are among the parties having a look at the triple premiership wingman who turns 32 in December but is only 10 years into his career.

    On paper I dont mind it, however the club would have to be dead certain about contending within the next 2 or so years to justify brining a player in of his age on half decent money and for a half decent pick (I doubt Hawks would let him go for anything less than a 2nd and we don't have much to spare). Smith does look like he's slowing down a bit and injury at back end of this season may be a bit concerning. We certainly could do worse, however I'd rather we spent that 2nd round pick looking at a much higher priority like a Key Forward. Pass for mine.

    I prefer Smith to Polec. While he is older, I think he’s better and think he’s likely to be able to have a very long career.

    Smith is a free agent.

    My mistake ! Thanks for that. If we can get him in for a reasonable price I wouldnt mind it in that case.

    I don’t think I could handle more leadership from a 30+ Hawk on a superannuation contract.

    Understandable, but he doesn’t seem quite so invested in himself as Lewis was. 
     

    Long and accurate kick with a bit of pace - hard to argue against?

    I’d be worried his pace might not last at 32 and length was always the strong point of his kicking. He’d get some long kicks in quickly but I wouldn’t expect him to hit many short leads

    Too old. Injuries will hit soon.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
