Lol, those "Baby Bombers", hey? One player in the 40 man squad, but that won't stop the AFL media from frothing about them. The Baby Bombers thing is a myth.

    Yep and people said he was no good because he didn’t immediately hold down Full Back 🙄

    Can't remember exactly which year but didn't he debut, perhaps prematurely, v Saints after which many here vilified him and called for his immediate delisting (if not dismemberment)?

    In fairness, we haven't really seen either of these two.  Let them show their wares before we get too carried away (as many did after many drafts especially 2000-2015)!

    In fairness, his debut was horrible. Never seen a worse one. Even in the Neeld days.

    I did mine and picked the 5 Melbourne players first. Then found it very hard to pick the other 17. There are so many really great players in that 40 and huge that we have 5 of them. Such a great sign because guys like Walsh, Brayshaw, Kings, Anderson look like being greats of the game.

    So great to see some young guns coming through and we haven't even had a taste of Laurie and Rosman at senior level. Makes talk of 'trade targets' interesting cos there's so much potential with these young dees

    Apparently, and ridiculously, the final 22 is in accordance with a fan vote. So the final result will be largely irrelevant.

    8 players 21 and under played for us on the weekend and besides spargo they have all played under 21 games if I’m correct.

     

    all I hear is about the baby bombers when they only had 3 players 21 and under

    and a couple of their players had 20 games or less.. what exactly makes them the baby bombers?

    Good point but the key take out is this.

    We are the top of the table, and only 8 players are playing for bona fide finals teams (generally)

    And we have four of them.  So how good are our nominees given they have made a place for themselves in a top of the ladder team where you expect competition would be fierce for spots, and/or they can hold their own in the AFL in a top team and then relentless competion that brings.

    Well done to these four. Several IMO are not in the bottom 6 for selection either -Rivers, Petty, KOzzie (?).

    There are 2 reasons why they get so much hype.  The number of Bomber supporters and the alliteration.  We need the Diaper Demons.

    I think it was 2018 when (very) young 18yo Petty was played at FB against Paddy McCartin who beat him hands down.  The one game where McCartin played up to StKilda’s expectations.
    How things change eh! The kid looks now to be the real deal!
    And all being well a 200 game Demon!

    And furthermore: what to do with Tomlinson next year. What a nice position to be in!!!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
