I was at Marvel Stadium yesterday and first time I watched Mac Andrew livevand he certainly stood out. He will become a star defensive footballer. Maybe he can be lured to Princes Park post 2025 ... 🤔😁

So he was part of the Dees NGA academy? Might mean he has some positive connections with MFC. The Dees should definitely work on trying to get him to MFC!

Wtf is a second team?

Who knows. I hate all teams except Melbourne on different scales. Perhaps it's the team you hate least?

Historically my second team is whoever is playing Collingwood, so I last week I probably could have been swayed into buying a GC membership.

just another thing to blame barassi for, i reckon

If it was good enough for RDB, it is good enough for me (actually wearing my Demons polo top at Incheon Airport right now as I type this) 😁

I only have a last team. Collingwood. 

I have heaps of second teams. 

Whoever is playing against Collingwood.

Whoever is playing against Celtic. 

Whoever is playing against England. 

Whoever is playing against an NFC Central team that isn't the Packers. 

Harry Mckay would have been nice at pick 9 instead on Sam Weidemann in the 2015 draft.

McKay x 2, Curnow, Hipwood, Himmelberg... any of them

We do tend to dwell on that draft quite a bit. 
Just had a look at Cal top 30 draft ratings a couple of weeks before the draft. He had Curnow one spot ahead of Sam at 8&9. This was a week before Curnow was done for drink driving and I think there was question marks over his attitude. Hipwood was 14 and Harry and Ben were 21&24. 
He also had Clayton Oliver at 11. We took him at pick 4. Cal had another tall in Josh Schache rated as the 4th best in the draft. 
 

Of course we with hindsight we would have been better taking one of those other talls before Sam but we also could have taken Schache instead of Oliver. 
 

In 2017 we picked Spargo at pick 29. Tom De Koning went the pick after. 


You can always look back and say we could have picked player x instead of player y, can’t always get them right and picking Sam seems to be in line with the player ratings at the time.

  • 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.
