I mean he is definitely better than taking a chance on a third round pick after we win the flag next year.

    Can play, can gut run and can hit a kick inside 50 he  immediately fills a required starting 18 position on the wing. The low pick, lower coin is the balance of the risk we are taking on his prior alleged off field challenges.

    The two doggies lads that we've picked up are almost no names to me (says alot given I've watched alot of their games against us and generally). However I'm guessing our FD rate them and given we've studied the bejezus out of the dogs over the last few years it gives me confidence that they can play roles for us. Only had to part with a can of Coke and half a packet of twisties too 👌

    Yeah - squeaky clean at the MFC

    Hunt

    With Tomlinson a mebbe

    Things are peachy

    Weid/Hunt/Bedford not good enough to make the team & not AFL standard players, so vastly different. The only player leaving is a young kid heading home unlike the Dogs who have multiple best 22 players wanting out.

    Beveridge had some problems with him. Hoping it was just a personality clash.

    Always thought he was an upgrade on Mitch Hannan style of player.

    Very composed player and from what I've seen a good decision maker.

    Rendition of FREED FROM DESIRE from Lachie on his socials would be the ultimate troll 

    Free from bevos ire, sung to the tune of free from desire would be better trolling

    Hunt is AFL standard. He played 40 games over past 2 seasons in a side that finished 1st and 2nd after the H&A.

    He’s from WA, they usually get the news a bit later…………….in this case 10 years (drafted F/S in 2012 draft)

    I mean he’s won a B&F and a premiership and played 150 games it’s not like he spends his time as the unused medical sub every week!

    Hunter has been a star of the competition. Best and fairest winner in front of Bont and McCrae.

    Regular 35 + possession winner. Racked up competition high uncontested possessions in 2016 but also notched up 10 tackles a game on occasion. Premiership player. 

    Future third rounder! Good business.

    Always fun going back to the first couple of pages in threads like these just to see your initial reaction. I wasn’t a fan but I am now. Welcome Lachie and all the best with us.
    Can’t wait for the WERRIDEE 2023 team edition.

    • 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.
