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.

    • 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?
