It’s too late for Meth Coke and North now. Probably Hawthorn as well, the Map of Tassie will be cleaning up on young talent. 
there will be a few Clubs very concerned about the future 

when you really don't want to be poor in 2027-2031

they - and the eventual 20th team - will pick the eyes out of the draft

Yes i am a little concerned for us, but if we can nail top talent in the next 2 years we may be able to get through the 2 new teams

Zero sympathy for the eagles. An arrogant footy club. An extended period at the bottom might them and their supporters some humility 

if you look at their history, this is what they do - compete and be there or thereabouts, win a premiership, hang around competing, bottom out... rinse / repeat

they've only been out of finals for three seasons, and presumably 2024 will be their fourth missing out in a row

they’ve never bottomed out like this  it’ll take many years to compete after this

how many wooden spoons i wonder

Good to see Richmond taking the game on and have a go.

As for West Coke im convinced they are worse than us during the Neeld years, which is saying something.

Richmond exposing a massive weakness in the Swans. I hope their young players can keep it up for 4 quarters. Pressure the kicker (Heeney, Gulden, Papley etc... ) at the point of kicking and their elite kills disappear. And the Tiges forward spread is tearing he Swans apart.

getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

Not sure that will be the case. The AFL won’t want a weak Tassie Side in the Comp if they have just had a new Stadium built. 
I think West Coast are in a tail spin that will take years to recover from. 
Hawthorn and North are close behind

Is what Grundy is doing at centre bounces legal?  He runs across the line as soon as the ump goes into his bounce routine and before the ump hits the ball on the ground.   ???

I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

Don’t worry about Kelly who is a WA boy. Go hard for Reid 😂

Just now, leave it to deever said:

Grundy the tallest Swans player and only one with no marks 

Not missing him.

I read this week on AFL.com (I think) that Max was crook with the flu going into the Sydney game. The club didn’t want it reported on.

Brodie is mid tier these days, and his lack of marking is a liability.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
