Don't panic, this is here to serve as a distraction to all the other bs going on. Great first year by our young winger.

 

 

Skills of Robbie quite possibly, but does he have the same red and blue heart?

I guess we will see.

that goal against the pear was a stunner

i fully expect he'll be able to rotate thru centre square attendances as he gets stronger - he appears to be an excellent reader of the play and instinctively knows where to move in contested situations to win the loose ball

that burst speed around stoppages is very reminiscent of judd in his meth coke days

He had a good debut season and looks to have genuine potential. He will have some ups and downs in his second season. Don't be too harsh on him when he has a few down games in 2025, its all part of the learning process.

And what sort of downs are you predicting ? Only a 15 a game possession count and no goal? Hope the down/s you predict are not an injury! 

On the contrary I would like to see him moved to be our centre man in 2025. Imagine how dangerous he would be running straight down the ground He would have the whole forward line to decide who to pass to or kick a goal himself.

Reckon he would be a 20/25 possession winner and also perhaps around 15/20 goals for the season. 

Would straighten us up no doubt. He is a no fuss player and I believe he could handle this move of his development even at such an early stage of his career. 

Nor sure who could play on the wing opposite Lingers. Bowey AMW Salem ? Leave it up to the two new Coaches and Goody. 

 

is it just me, or is there a lot of physical and style similarities between Caleb Windsor and Robbie Flower?  running style, kicking style ...

Not just you. He's looks like building into a great player.

We seem to have given away a lot of draft options to help GCS get their full share of Academy players, I feel we got slim pickings in return.!!

History has proven this to be totally correct.

Just the normal ups and downs any young, inexperienced footballer has. Takes time and some experience to build consistency.

Absolute 'GULP', what a great highlights reel. He looked happy at the Dees, too. He has an enormous role to play in the future. Pace, silky skills, confidence, quick thoughts (and good ones), with just enough mongrel to take phenomenal intercepts and embarrass big name opponents.  


Great recognition last night as well he spoke well and looked very comfortable sitting and chatting with Ed Langdon and the Co-Host. We have another beauty here in Caleb.

Yes I think there is a resemblance of some sort. It is hard to exactly pinpoint but both look effortless and move atop of the ground and have similar kicking skills on both sides of their feet.

I think he is a little further ahead in his first year than your Bluebagger flushed eyes have judged. Consistency is one if his form lines already.

You may be surprised but I hope he moves into the centre position this year to maximise his skills and elite disposal plus his potential to kick vital goals in general play.

Surely there is a need to go through each trade swap to see if this sweeping statement is true. 
Anyone have the info to test this comment? The mere fact that our swaps have also enabled us to improve  our draft picks positions while they picked up their GC Academy boys does not necessarily mean a loss vs them in value.

He had a few average outings later in the season (no criticisms, to be expected for a youngster). It is not uncommon for 2nd year players to dip a bit as well mind you (before iproving again). We will see next season.

No, someone has to buy a Demons membership after the great microwave membership massacre of October 2024 😁

There’s enough of us without some snivelling Blues fan hovering around in our neck of the woods.

If only he bounced the ball with his left hand, then.................

@No. 31 is often a sensible and interesting poster, and more emotionally balanced than some supporters!

Thank you DeelightfulPlay, I hope that I am a sensible counterpoint here at times ...

#flaggers2025, #crippa-for-brownlow3, #baggers-threepeat, #CP5inNavyBlue 😁

You might be welcome if you ceased talking about Carlton.  This is a Melbourne forum.  Stop trolling or FRO.

I don't really get why a Carlton supporter would choose to spend their days hanging around a Melbourne forum. Very odd behaviour tbh.

What was wrong with what @No. 31said?

Solid first year, the odd down game here and there which was to be expected but tracking in the right direction.

If any of us said it no-one would have said boo.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
