JT’s Achilles heel is that he can’t get us a gun KPF, but given our woeful entries, not even the best forward would thrive in our forward line.

Also, those wondering if we need a new national recruitment manager, is there a better one out there that is available? No.

Tim Lamb should go before JT. But Goody and his assistants should go before TL.

Any pick Ess gets this year will be the equivalent of mid teens/ early 20's last draft.

And not to mention any pick they got won't be better than Lindsay. He'd be a top 5 mid in any other draft

All I’ve seen and heard are words so far, a million miles away from being Floweresque as promised.

He's played what, like 4 or 5 games? And had his season interrupted by a knee injury.

Please

Some of his picks haven’t stacked up at all.

But he did get us a lot of good players in ‘19 draft with LJ and Kozzy which if LJ had of stayed would have been unreal. not his fault mommy came a calling. Rivers also from this draft.

‘20 was a pass (just ) with Bowey and Laurie

“21 was JVR and Howes. Probably a pass.

‘22 Jeffo, Seatsn and Adam’s. I’d say this was a poor year.

‘23 We should have gone Caddy over Windsor and/or Logan Morris over Kolt or even Frejdah would have been handy to us. So I think his ‘23 draft could have been better.

His 24 draft was good in Langford and XL though.

So out of the last 6 years he had two great ones in 2019 and 2024. 2020 and 2021 were pass (probably being a little generous). I think 2023 was ok but could have been better. And 2022 was clearly his worst.

But since winning a premiership and attempting to build a dynasty, lets look at the picks we squandered giving to Lamb to trade instead of trusting Taylor

Hunter, Dunstan, McAdam, Billings, Harry Sharp, Fullerton, Tom Campbell, Schache

Yeah - I know who trust at this club

In their lies the problem or reason why we have declined this badly.

I wouldn't call 22 a bust just yet.

Jeffo was always a project player and wasn't bad last week given the ball barely went into the forward line in the first or third quater.

Sestan will be a player i haven't seen somebody built with hips and calves like that since Matthew Larkin who captained North before Carey. He will become a player.

Adam's might be a miss

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
