They lack big bodies with good hands

You forgot Brayshaw

You can add Brown onto the Wing at Casey, we will get him late in the draft or rookie

Nah mate i left him out for obvious reasons

Deff in our best 23 if all goes well over the break 

I think the club would like to see Howes continue to develop and get a chance at senior footy.

I know we were very happy with him before he got injured this season. He’s my smokey for round 1 2024.


Surely we're drafting at least one ready to go player that slots straight in. What a bloody waste of a high pick if we don't. 

Langdon and Hunter would want to have huge pre-seasons. Would love to draft a highly skilled mid to enter the rotation and lessen the reliance on Clarry/Gus/Viney.

 

Pretty disappointing if McAdam is the best new talent we can bring in to this forward line 😐

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
