    Why not, you have 4 NGA academy's that have priority access to every player in their respective states.  They actually speed a lot of time developing the kids in an elite environment.

    Because the side last year was elite even without the academy players. The Tassie boys last year were exceptional with two A graders for that level. Jed Walter’s is not the sort of player who comes along often that’s why I said it

    Thanks, I think they will still be strong and continue to be strong on the back of the northern state NGAs.

    Love that White is named, and kind of love that Mentha hasn't been?

    He wasn’t on the field for the first half. St least I couldn’t see him! I didn’t watch the 3rd but seems like he came on.

    He’s a player.  Will debut early next year.  Another GC17 Gift from the AFL.  Suns get yearly ACADEMY PICKS and also NGA Darwin picks.  Huge bonus especially as Academy can be automatically matched by the Duns.

    Is he playing in the wrong number? 

    I reckon he is. Just saw him make a spoil but not sure he was 42

    Spirit, thanks for the info. It just feels so wrong.

    Stat sheets has White with 6 possessions and no hit outs. Isn’t he meant to be ruck? Regardless, and underwhelming result

    Good exposure playing as a bottom ager in the national championships.   Well done to the kid, obviously going to be a hot prospect.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
