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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
