I swear there used to be a story every preseason that the package has got himself fit and is going to dominate this year… then he never did and he never did and they’ve finally stopped writing those articles. 

The only thing the “Package” 🤮 has done in pre season is eat McDonalds and apparently take up a new religion.

Judd McVee could possibly be the most underrated player in the comp.

Composure of the kid is unbelievable.

Not in the best five MFC players on the ground according to the AFL website. Personally, I thought he was BOG.

Ridiculously underrated, which is fine by me

Wakefield-Moniz may not have been among the standouts tonight, but for my money he has already shown enough to suggest he's a better prospect than either Woewodin or Laurie. Any thoughts?

I'd like the peanut who declared game over when we were 2 goals down in the first quarter to put his hand up. Also IRW who declared just wait until next week , I'm here where are you, of course you won't be because we won. Or should I call you Dr. Death.

Yep, keep those vultures from the West away from our star player. Ditto JVR.

Some other thoughts: Melksham has made such a difference that I'm starting to think his ACL might have cost us a flag.

2 goals, 3 goal assists (Kolt & Merrett had 2 each and no one else had more than 1), went at 83% disposal efficiency. No way we lose both those finals last year if he plays.

Definitely Laurie, I still have faith in Taj.

Melksham’s ACL and Maynard being a POS cost us a flag last year. Nobody will convince me otherwise.

 Petty was there also.

By there, do you mean present?

We were basically down a player with him on the ground. Didn't win a 1v1 all night.

 

Congrats to the on ball brigade and defenders who got us this win.

Form an orderly queue to make your apologies to Goody here please… 

Getting some vomit reacts on this, and I just want to say that’s ok - if you feel so ill about things you’ve said about Goody and his team selection this week that you can’t type a react is perfectly adequate ❤️

Whoah hold off, I’ve done one of those things and it wasn’t a new religion.

Special praise for Van Rooyen for outstanding effort in  the ruck, which helped turn the tide after Petty's woeful first-quarter effort.

Add Petty's underwhelming performances as a forward and his trade value must have dropped by at least 50 per cent this season.

Maybe he  needs to return to the backs to move his game forward.

I called petty's ruck a joke selection. Turns out I was right.

I love goody but tonight a never say die team and magnificent youngsters got us over the line. Against what we all know are pretenders with no spine. That's a quote from a bombers fan sitting next to me. He's shattered again.

No way can we risk this structure against freos midfield on a dry track.

I have us 5th in two rounds from now.

Go you redlegs!

Goody coached the pants off Brad Scott, who is no slouch himself.

Smashed them in clearances - 12+. The ruck role is seriously the most overrated role in the game.

Anyway, beautiful around the ground stoppage set ups, massive props to McQualter too. We consistently set everyone up on the back of the contest knowing we could either hit the contest hard from there or stop their chaining out in the opposite direction. Such good coaching.

Windsor and McVee are going to be elite players. JT is a genius. Both are so clean at ground ball. And if you can do that in the driving rain, you can always do it. Serious talents. Kolt showed some really good signs. Kozzy so dangerous around stoppage and his forward pressure was sublime. Rivers' early disposal was pretty iffy, but he knows how to win the contest and knows where to go to win the ball. I think with more time in there, his disposal under heat will get better.

That's 5 guys 22 or under who are starting to majorly impact games every week. Add JVR to that conversation too, and Bowser and AMW are playing their roles too.

The decision to play Petty was vindicated and when Petty struggled in the centre bounces early, Disco hitting the scoreboard meant we could afford JVR in the ruck more.

I was more confident about tonight than next week, but we've put ourselves back in with a chance of not only playing finals, but ridiculously, top 4.

Let's see how we go.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
