A couple of times when he has accelerated into a ground ball, grabbed it cleanly, and exited a pack before anyone can touch him (as though time has stopped) reminds me of one of our greatest players.

    Love this comment in the guardian in the crows game review.  

    “Harley Reid’s had more column inches devoted to him than Bruce Lehrmann but Windsor may end up being the steal of that draft at pick seven”

    Windsor is already special. He's going to be VERY special. I too, am very excited at what he could become.

    But I get very nervous when certain comparisons and labels are given to young players in their first year. Nick Watson being called 'The Wizard' EVERY time, for example. It puts unnecessary pressure on him. 

    The Flower comparison has been whispered in media and in forums. I get it, believe me, but we (me included) must pull ourselves up.

    Watching Robbie play was like seeing Nureyev at a barn dance. He just made the other players on the field look clumsy and cumbersome. 

    As Sinead O'Connor once said to him, "Nothing compares 2 U". 

    Let's watch this kid build his own legacy and just enjoy the ride.

    I'm one of those who have made comparisons, and yeah…you rewatch Flower and you just see a man amongst men, taking the pizz on the regular. Long way to go yet.

    Windsor reminds me of Andrew Embley

    Jake Lever is an interesting inclusion.

    Why is it interesting? If he won Goal of the Round with his first career goal then he deserves to be on the list.

    Not that he is on the list for that reason, just that he doesn't kick many and not too many I remember being spectacular.

    Rick should have played forward in the  2023 final series on the same size. 😳😳

    That's because he has only kicked 4 goals in his career. 3 for the Crows and 1 for the Dees.

    Not disputing his place on the list, just surprised by it.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
