Jeez he said his mum wouldn’t be happy if he had to move interstate, bloody hell.!!!

Full quote:

Though Adams said it would be “pretty exciting” to go to the Magpies which from the outside it looks like a “good fun club”, he has no qualms to moving interstate. However the West Australian said his mother might take some convincing to get on board.

“Open to the opportunity, mum might be a bit disappointed losing another one of her children because my sister’s over in America at the moment,” Adams said. “She might be upset, but I won’t be too mad, I might get mum getting off me about cleaning dishes.”

 

Thanks wwsw, hopefully once May, Lever, Petty and Turner get around him he will become a fully fledged Dee.!!!

 

Would be nice if teams could stop picking players so we can have some talent for a rookie pick

Topped up in the trade period and now have replacements on deck for Ben Brown and May.

After getting Lever and McDonald replacements in Turner and JVR last year.

Plus a big hand next year to hammer midfield and quality flankers.

Get some pace and special skills in the rookie draft please 

Absolutely agree.  Next year we will have to go for more pace across half back and midfield.

So happy for Caleb Mitchell.

Agree @dazzledavey36  Wanted him in red and blue.  I was thinking we’d grab him when our pick came.  
Loved his ability to side step and deliver in his left foot.  Moves with composure with footy in hand.  Oh well. Have to put trust in JT. 

 

Jed Adams has very good highlights is quick, agile and has great hands, played both forward and back in the highlights.

Cal Twomey picked for first 13 in correct order and predicted 59 selections in total. The bloke's a freak.

So how did Barnett slide so far?

Edit: HS made an error and said pick #53.

Or perhaps has a very good relationship with most of the recruiters

I think the desire for trades this year made the top 10 present itself. Teams had to call each other and player managers and probably Cal to really work out who was going where to evaluate trades. 

Still, it’s impressive work from Cal to have the order figured out. I hope teams get a little more aggressive with trades and are willing to do so without the order completely revealed in future years so there’s some more drama

Some media about our 2022 draft recruits for those interested.

Edit: they all speak very well and there is yet another pump up for McVee in there.

Very enjoyable to see them and hear them. We forget how young they are.

    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.

    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?
