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!!!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • 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.
