Hawthorn reserves player Brett Lovett played well for a few years at the Dees

Easily the most underrated player to go around for the Dees in the last 50 years.

    I think its a good sensible move. Need some depth and experience to replace what we have lost in jordan and harmes. Haven't really addressed our obvious key fwrd needs but im sure they tried.  I think the grundy experiement really has cost us a year in terms of geting in the ears of a key fwrd, either last trade period or this one. Dont think we wont still try and move up the draft board

    Essentially we swapped Billings for Harmes, he offers better kicking skills which I dont mind.

    His brother Glenn was a gun mid. Not sure how good Robert was.

    Pretty sure we played all three Elliots in the same side more than once.

    People likening this to when we got Hunter, feels more to me like when we got Melksham. I wasn't thrilled at all at the time but look what we got.

    Well we didn’t use the pick from the Dogs - we used our own, but I get your drift. 

    Let’s hope he/we can get that body right.

    Young? He's 28!

    Anyway, let's see if he can at least get on the park. He seems to have broken every part of his body over the past decade.

    James Frawley played 100 games and won a flag with Hawthorn.

    I still think he played most of his best footy with us though

    Robert was good & had a couple of great years for us. Was picked for the state side while he was with us.

    Im in my 40's, I would love to be 28 again!

    I dont mind it, we need a mid/fwd with ball skills.

    A premiership season with spargs and Billo leading the afl for goal assists is going to be so enjoyable

    Didn’t realise Dave Misson was Head of Football at St Kilda – is that not out of his wheelhouse a little for a ‘fitness’ guy? (Happy to be corrected)

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
