Brown is officially cooked. Apparently his knee is flaring again. Such a shame. A second KPF has to be our priority in the draft/trade period

Makes sense with Petty being shifted Pre season to the Forward line.

Seen the writing on the wall.

Both a tactical and a necessity at the end of the day.

Sad news.

But we can never forget, BBB was a DEMON PREMIERSHIP FF ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

When you say "officially", do you mean the club, or you, saying that?

Agree with another key forward in the draft/trade period and have been posting it for a while now.

If BBB retires and maybe even Tom Mac as well, we should be looking to bring in a mature key forward and draft another one as well.

So the only change for Monday is Hibberd in for Bowey. If Hibberd hasn't got up it could be Disco playing, that's why he may not be named in the team, just guessing.

Just seen that Disco has been named injured. Hibbo definitely in.

It’s been reported on. He is listed as injured. In his latest Instagram post he is wearing a bandage on his knee. It’s the midpoint of the season and he has played a couple of senior games. But yeah, I just made the whole thing up. Not like he had this dodgy knee for a while or anything

I realise i'll be mocked here for saying this, but what about offering Jesse Hogan a two year contract? I understand he's out of contract at end of season. Surely this would be worth the risk? He seems like he's been more switched on over the last few seasons and improved his discipline.

Jesse might be more 'switched on' than you think if he is still living with Mumford!

that should have happened 2 years ago in my view

BB and T MAc always high risk and should have been covered

I wasn’t accusing you of making it up, I just asked if the club said it, or it was your opinion, that his injury was career ending.

There is a difference as you will agree.

It wasn’t an attack on you.

Well I suppose the club thought they would be good for another short period and they drafted JVR and Jefferson as the ones to take over. They also brought in Schache to replace Weid. I am certain we will draft or trade another key forward, or both, this year.

Have watched him play a fair bit this year and while he has kicked a few goals, he drops a lot of marks, has no recovery now, applies no forward pressure, sulks a lot and admonishes team mates.

That doesn’t fit our culture, so I can’t see us considering him.

from all reports we talked to him before he went to gw$

after the conversation and the requests that we made to make to his lifestyle it was a resounding 'no' from our football department

I agree, I’ve watched a couple of GWS games and his body language is still that off a sulky teenager. He also has virtually no second efforts. Such a shame, he absolutely has the build and talent, just seems like he can’t get out of that unproductive headspace.

Looking to sept going to be hard to succeed without either of bb or TMac. Jvr has been brilliant in his first season but is 19. Relying on him, petty with Maxy and Grundy chipping in won’t get it done. Hope im wrong.

We badly need to pick up an experienced KPF in trade week. not many around though.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
