sparrow needs to be a lot more of a workhorse thru midfield to feature in our top 10 i'd wager

nibbler i think is a chance, but i can't see sparrow getting a spot in our top 10 ahead of may, petracca, viney, lever, brayshaw, gawn, oliver, hunter, rivers, or pickett

pickett will be so far outside our top 10 itll be alarming imo he had a pretty sub par season. and i wouldn't have hunter or oliver near it either for form and games missed reasons respectively

    How far off is the Roo? IMO has not improved this year

     Cannot   mark in a contested group and has a habit of getting where the ball ain't. As a ruckman He is a good forward

     

    No idea why the above is there!

    You sure you're not confusing him with young Yze? Kalani was named in the U16 All Australian team. No gaurentees to make it obviously but a pretty impressive starting point.

    Perhaps you are right. Need to check!

    Even by your gloomy, miserable standards, that's an astonishing take @old dee

    Kalani was recently named All-Australian at under 16 level.  He's not "very ordinary".

    I'd say never.

    Strange call. He was All Australian this year for his age group under 16s playing key defender and ruck. He’s a giant too. Looks a serious prospect with a few years in the gym to fill out. Already taller than his old man at age 15!

    Are you getting him confused with another potential father son like Yze or Brown?

    Maybe old dee is colour blind and getting his Whites and Browns mixed up.

    Could be worse-some sides have Blacks, Greens and Grey's playing for them.:)

    It must be a laugh going onto football forums on the Internet and making up gossip about possible trades. 🤣

    Just to see how people will react.

     

    Nevertheless, I will admit, even I gotta bit excited about the Aaron Cadman rumour! 😳

    I would not mind 5, 10 and 13.

    10 currently with the bulldogs. Would give us a chance to get Murphy a 200cm CHB if we miss out on O'Sullivan or prefer another player at 5. Pundits have Murphy around that area.

    Absurd since we already have picks 5 & 13. Might as well just say we might acquire 10 also.

    We need someone who can read the chaos ball we send forward.

    Naughton fits this perfectly.

    Petty looks like he knows how to be a forward

    +1

    Our current default style of bombing it to a pack would be perfect for AN, as he'd likely come down with it half the time.

    Then the rest of the time when we get it in fast and with more purpose, step up Petty/JVR/Fritsch.

    The proposal would be something like 25 + 33 + Grundy pick to GC for 10. Gives them more points.

    Is Petty's foot ever going to heal?

    Not a conspiracy theory, but doesn't his injury type need a very long rehab?

    Some do, some don’t ever.  I am sure he is being closely monitored.  🤞🙏

    White needs to become a CHF for us.

    No pressure on the guy who isn’t eligible for drafting, and if and when he does you are asking him to play the hardest position on the ground. Yes, it would be nice.  Thanks.

    Jon Ralph said if the Suns get Doggies pick 10 it will be between the Crows and Dees.

    Crows have picks 21 and 24 and he says we will have picks 25 and 33. He does not mention we also will have picks Grundy and Jordan.

    We could use our future 1st round and a pick or two in this draft.

    The Suns will also get picks for players they trade out such as Chol and Holland so will be very interested in collecting some future picks.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
