2019 - Armageddon


Six6Six

Recommended Posts

2019 - arrives with high expectations after the finals run in 2018.

Again, Melbourne gets busy in the trade period. Dean Kent departs to St Kilda for pick 65. Dom Tyson heads over to the Kangaroos for Braydon Preuss and pick 62, Jess Hogan heads home to Fremantle along with pick 65 for pick 6 and 23 and Steven May and Kade Kolodjashnij arrive for pick 6. There is a further pick swap with St Kilda, pick 28 arrives for picks 36 and 46.

Tom Bugg, Dion Johnstone, Mitch King, Pat McKenna and Cameron Pederson are delisted.
Harley Balic and Bernie Vince retire. 

The National draft sees Tom Sparrow (27), James Jordon (33), Aaron Neitschke (53), Marty Hore (56) and Toby Bedford (75) added to the list.

Corey Maynard is elevated from the rookie list.

Kade Chandler (15) is selected in the rookie draft.

Austin Bradtke and Guy Walker are added as Category B rookies.

Corey Wagner and Jay Lockhart are taken in the pre-season supplemental selection period.

Stephen May, Tom Sparrow, Kade Chandler and Marty Hore are added to the list of men still standing along with Jack, T.Mac, the skipper, Salem, Christian Petracca, Angus Brayshaw, Alex Neal-Bullen, Clayton Oliver, Jake Melksham, Joel Smith Jake Lever Charlie Spargo, Bailey Fritsch and Harrison Petty.

The season never gets going and after a plethora of off-season surgeries the team never gains any momentum. By seasons end Melbourne finish 17th on the ladder with 5 wins only ahead of Gold Coast. The team and supporters had been dragged "To Hell and Back." 

Enjoy.

This will be the last of the preseason retrospectives. For obvious reasons there was no access to training beyond this time.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
