Do what @WalkingCivilWar did or is going to do and stick someone else over the top.

And that’s exactly what I’ve done, Azz! 
This is from last year’s calendar…

So, it was either that ⬆️ or this ⬇️

    Have we sold high on the ruck equivalent of Sam Weideman? 

    I hoping like #*&$ we have. 2 first rounders and a second looks like overs atm.

    Uh oh..It's started.

    "Jackson sucks, Fyfe is too old, we don't have a forward line, Treacy can't play football and Ethan Hughes is on an AFL list"

    • "Melbourne must be celebrating today, genuine shot at a top 10 pick all of a sudden"

    • "Jackson can't mark to save his life."

    • "Hope Melbourne enjoy our 1st rounder"
     
    • "0 marks to Jackson is a bad stat line by itself, but he was out bodied and out read every time the ball went near him in a marking contest. And he added very little more at ground level."
     
    • "I don't remember being terrified and lacking confidence being in his draft profile."
     
    • "Bullied at clearances despite HO advantage, we looked outsized in there without Mundy. Jackson looked out matched as well."
     
    • "I thought Jackson overall was poor. And yet he started so brightly with that neat handball to Freddy for our first goal. But it was summarized by his lazy boneheaded kick around the body shot for goal that missed the lot. And that basically characterized the afternoon.....sigh!"

    I'm not vindictive and immature enough to post this in here every week - that would be irritating for all involved. I will do it in my head every week over on my fantasy page however.  :laugh:

    Freo fans already going feral on Jackson.

    Perth is a two team fish bowl. You get lost in the crowd in Melbourne with 9 teams.

    All pressure is on him.

    Go surfing Jacko.

    Apropos of nothing, if that was the 60s it would be Barry Grundy v Larry Jackson. But who gives a Barry Grundy? Collingwood.

    The problem for Dogga is that with us he could play on potential for another 2 years and do some nice things occasionally. Freo feel like they paid a lot for him now, so they want results now. 

    I still think he’s gunna be a gun, but they won’t get consistent value until 2025.

    Spot on.. big dollars mean an instant return. Kosi will be an instant return if he leaves, but won’t get Dogga dollars.

    Bulldogs invest heavily in a forward/reluctant ruckman when they really needed a genuine ruck backup for English who can drift forward.

    Freo invest extremely heavily in a ruckman with very little forward craft and runs on the board based purely on potential when they desperately need a genuine tall forward or another key defender.

     So happy with the MFC list managers right now.

    I didn't make this. I don't condone it. The kid is a premiership player afterall and I will be forever grateful yadda yadda yadda. Having said that I did get a chuckle when I saw this on social media this morning. There may have been some coffee spat.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
