Not that we need him, but every time we play Port I get real annoyed that Sam Powell-Pepper always plays a good game and is physical as well. I would prefer he did not do this against the Demons, so if this stops it so be it aha

 

I don't necessarily hate him but on the other hand he does play for the filth ...

This thread only needs one name, Toby Greene

I’ve changed my mind about one name based on suggestions below. I think Sicily would aid us immensely too

 

 

Sicily was the first player that came to mind. Put him in place for May and throw May to FF! 

The most interesting thing for me in this thread is the relatively small pool of players who meet the definition of 'hated but wanted'. I'm curious, though, about the reverse. Who would be the Melbourne player or players who might be 'hated but wanted' by supporters of other teams? The emphasis here has to be the 'hated' part, because it's clear any supporter would salivate at the chance of having any of Oliver, Gawn or Petracca in their team.

Maxy is one of the few players in the league who is well liked by all club supporters. Trac would be well regarded as well I reckon. Clarry would be respected but probably not well liked.

In his prime I would have taken Ben Cunnington and/Boomer Harvey.

It felt like that little [censored] Boomer killed us for 20 years 😁

i don't really 'hate' any players, but i'm not a fan of the personality and / or behaviour of:

  • crom: tex 
  • bears: zorko
  • baggers: jack martin
  • filth: cox, de goey, howe
  • peptides: stringer
  • flagmantle: dogga
  • puddy tatts: hawkins, cameron, dangerfield, tuohy
  • gc17: can't think of one
  • gw$: does $cully count still
  • dorks: can't think of one
  • north: can't think of one
  • pear: horne-francis
  • tiggas: lynch, jack
  • aints: can't think of one, mebbe brad hill
  • bloods: papley
  • meth coke: darling
  • footscray: weightman

of that lot i would happily have de goey, dogga, cameron, horne-francis, lynch, papley, weightman on our list

Brodie Grundy.....oh....wait! 🤣

 

 

In all seriousness, probably Brayden Maynard from the Magpies or Toby Greene from the Giants.

  • 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?
