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!!!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
