I’m still amazed that this jive turkey is on AFL360, when Chief replaced him when he was ill, it was an absolute joy to watch, Gerard the host and the expert commentator from Chief.  Must be a hell of a lot of Winnie Blue smokers out there sending in love letters to Foxfooty to keep him relevant.  

Fox Executive: Hey Tim Lane, wanna co-host a nightly program on the AFL

Tim: Would love too . . . how much?

Fox Executive: 50k sign-on, 200k/yr salary, 1 paid research assistant

Tim: Great, Done. BTW, who's the co-host

Fox Executive: S-Lobbo

Tim: Um . . . yeah/nah

Fox Executive picks up phone: Hey Gerard, wanna co-host a nightly program on the AFL

Gerard: Would love too . . . how much?

Fox Executive: You'll be hosting with s-lobbo

Gerard: That'll be 250K sign-on, 500K salary, 100K OH&S insurance plan, the world's biggest air vaporizer installed in the studio and membership of Al-Anon. Oh, and a social worker in place of a research assistant.

I really can't see how this would be a hard job for anyone to undertake - even S-lobbo.

Robbo is trying to "crystal ball gaze" to the end of the season and it's clickbait to sell papers. It's a low-probability exercise that you'd hardly waste your time analysing or spending more than a minute discussing.

My crystal ball only says that Max Gawn will be much more influential than #27 and Dustin Martin will be nowhere near #7.

It's sad really. I think he's given up. He's lost sight of himself. Everyone thinks he's a fool so he plays the fool.

The whole industry is sad really. So many ex footballers out there who think they're comedians. 

My pet hate is (obviously not an ex footballer) Andrew Gaze. Had a very decorated career and now has created a terrible caricature of himself as this over enthusiastic fool who thinks he's funny. Just too sad.

Sorry but Gaze has always been that way. Did a few b-ball clinics with him back in the day and he was a total larakin. Exactly as he "plays" now. He's just one of those guys that tries everything to make people smile.

Yeah fair enough, I shouldn't be knocking someone with that motive, that drive show on SEN with Andy Maher is really bad though.

Don't get me wrong he can be very cringe worthy

The wizard hat doesn't suit Robbo. The organ grinder hat is probably a better fit, and even then that's flattering.

Love Gazey...Aussie legend, all around top bloke, family man and a great leader...

Everyone could learn a thing or two about how to be a good human from Andrew

Me too, was always a bit of a lad. One of the true good blokes of Aussie sport.

I know Robbo's list is speculative essentially trying to predict who will be the Number 1 footballer by the end of this year. For Charlie Curnow to get there, I think there are at least three players ahead of him right now...at Carlton. I would put all of Cripps, Walsh and Weitering ahead of him and I could understand an argument that Harry McKay is ahead of him as well.

Curnow's going to have some year if he's going to be No. 1 by the end of season 2023.

    Date of Birth: 4 January 1996 Height: 187cm Games MFC 2024: 13 Career Total: 189 Goals MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 184 Brownlow Medal Votes 16 Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
