lol, 2009 St Kilda. Every time I remember they didn't win a flag in that period I just shake my head in disbelief.

The only team that’s more St Kilda than St Kilda is Fremantle

See, this is why I don't tip. I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about.

That'll teach you for stealing my tipping diary Chook

Still not ready for the Jake Waterman 2025 free agency thread?

He's had a great couple of weeks. Certainly has talent. Amazing what some good delivery i50 can do to help a forward kick goals

So the GWS player kicks it to Greene. If there was ever anything as football rights, that was Greenes and Durdin had no right.

So the fact that Durdin goes for it and puts himself at risk, Greene is supposed to pull out? Not protect himself?

It’s like driving into a round about intersection and some scumbag speeds up from the left intersecting lane and enters the round about just as you do and you end up hitting that vehicle.  Technically and by the rule of law you are at fault, but everyone knows it’s BS.

Of course just lIke Brayshaw failing in his duty to avoid #4💩

That's the latest milk I reckon.

Take the mark and if the opponent grabs your arms, just fumble it.

Seeing more of it now

I recall that we were the beneficiaries of one last week or the week before (Petty).

How come when melb play interstate the umpiring favour the home sides but in each case this weekend it’s the away side getting the deal.  Is it bias against the Demons.   I think so !

Harley Reid ripping the dockers to shreds my word… 

Wish we could have traded up to land him. 

And missed out on Duke and Kolt?  I guess time will tell.

We will see last week as an anomaly in Brisbane's form. They can't bring that intensity every week. They got up after media scrutiny. They are back to being fractured as a team and will struggle, occasionally putting everything together to pump a side. Like Port over the last few years.

Port and Bears - never put your house on them.

I’m not taking anything out of this Geelong win. The Lions are terrible in the wet. Result could be completely different if it was dry.

Harley Reid. I know we offered two decent first-rounders, and not complaining about Windsor and Tholstrup ... but Reid is a generational talent. Two first round plus a second plus a future first wouldn't have been excessive. It's not just what he does, it's the way he does it and the impact that has on players around him.

@bing181 that's basically what we put on the table out looks like. I'm not sure we could have offered much more. I reckon it needed to be 2 and 3 to get it done.

 

"Meanwhile the Demons, who have aggressively traded up in the order, put forward picks 6, 11, 42 and their future first-rounder in exchange for Pick 1."

North were a bit silly in beating GC in round 24 last year.

They had Harley Reid secured after the Eagles gifted them 18th spot in round 23 with a Hail Mary win over the Dogs….

However, they (North) somehow put 20 goals on GC in front of a whopping 4,000 people down in Hobart in a game nobody will care to remember.

Net result - 17th finish. No Harley Reid.

If you think that win looks bad now, wait until 2030 when McKercher is back playing in Tassie, and Reid is winning Brownlow’s.

Are people on this forum still adamant Carlton aren’t the real deal and can’t win the flag?

Just beat the league leaders with a ton of injuries and are flying at 5-1.

Are the #1 seed thus far with players to return.

It's just I don't want to believe it.

2 weeks ago Eagles pushing for a priority pick. Reid steps up, now id say this is off the table. Wondering what the future looks like if he does a knee. Unreal how one 19 year old can put the team in his back.

Think we thrown all we had. WC knew what we did, and weren’t dealing. If we’d have offloaded Petty, maybe we could’ve snared Reid. But even then, it’s possible WC would’ve still said no. We aren’t the club that should be kicking ourselves. North lost out on Reid and he has the Carey factor.

The kids is blown up like he is super human. Has only played a half dozen. Have seen too many fizzle out or plateau . 
Granted he looks the goods but given him at least 2 seasons. WC still have some bottoming out to do. Kelly, Yeo, Darling, Cripps, Sheed, McGovern …. They are some big roles to fill.

Didn’t we go 10-0 in 2022.

The MFC remained the only unbeaten team by the end of round seven, is what the tweet is trying to convey (I think, but didn't check the data). Confused things by adding 'so far' to the Geelong stat.

This is the exact reason the draft order should be decided by combining the ladders of 2 or 3 seasons. Means you can't play finals, drop off hard for a year and get pick 2 then play finals again but helps the teams who are down longer. But that's for another thread. What a player Reid is.

The GWS V Brisbane game on Anzac Day could just about be the end of Brisbane this year. Long way back from 2-5.

I'm a little concerned about the thumping of Port by the filth.

Port dominated the game early on but were seriously thumped later 

Okay the pies were fresh from a bye but it has it exposed port as not being a top four team. Their four wins were from beating lower teams .

And if port aren't that good a side it means our four wins have been from beating lower sides.

I feel at this point , we are not the same team as the last three years and may struggle to make top four again.

At this point we are 2-1 against current top 8 teams and 2-1 against the current bottom 8 teams.

Given the loss against a current bottom 8 team was against one of last year's grand finalists and we were coming off a short break, and we've played interstate 3/6 matches, I think it's a reasonable start for the year. 

A long way to go, but difficult to infer too much given the length of the season. We certainly didn't want to be peaking in the first 6 rounds.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
