If you could choose one player from a rival club to add to your AFL list, who would it be?

 
Christian Petracca (3)
 
Clayton Oliver (2)
 
Luke Jackson (1)
 
Max King (3)
 
Jordan De Goey (1)
 
Darcy Moore (1)
 
Aaron Naughton (1)
 
Dustin Martin (1)
 
No answer (3)
 
"Oliver and Petracca were the only two players nominated who finished in the top 10 of last year’s Brownlow Medal count, with stars such as Carlton’s Charlie Curnow, Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh, the Brisbane Lions’ Lachie Neale, the Bulldogs’ Marcus Bontempelli, Geelong’s Tom Stewart and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw overlooked."

    ..... and they may well reconsider that selection in view of recent events!

    In that list with the 2 Melbourne players taken out it would be Max King by a mile.

    De Gropey? Hahaha, clearly from the same people who used to nominate Cameron Ling as most attractive player in the AFL back in ‘the day’.

    Max King all the way, however I reckon Clarry has been short-changed hard here.

    I wonder who are in our wish list at the moment, thinking of next season and beyond. Surely a key Full Forward.

    I'm assuming "bosses" means Presidents, but who would Kate have chosen from a rival club?

    I would think Max King or Aaron Naughton.

     

    I think you'll find it was club CEOs. The Age has been drip feeding results of its survey with club CEOs over the last few days.

    I'm curious as to why a club CEO would want to add Dustin Martin. Five years ago I suspect he would have been the dominant choice, but now he's too close to the end of what has been a wonderful career.

    Anyone else think Clarry is worth 1 Million a year over 7 years for his next contract in 2024?

    Yes

    Take the gun tall forward every time. The rarest position to find a gun, yet a gun tall forward can completely change a teams fortunes. Max King is 21 years old and on track for 50+ goals already. Easy decision to pick him and build around him for the next decade.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
