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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
