It’s ‘rapt’ but is this just your guess based on contract extension + coming back in good shape or have you heard something more from someone at the club?

Noooo? Don’t say 😂 

 

Yeah but I quote through Siri and can’t be bothered correcting her when she’s so polite! 
 

Nope that’s form someone at the club albeit in a non coaching role but still I’m not gonna hand it to you rapt now am I.. 😜 

[censored], I just used the wrong rapt/wrapped again there didn’t I.. silly moi

    Not sure whether it was mentioned earlier in the thread but Cal’s Late Mail Phantom Draft will be released at some stage tonight.

    Does anyone think Xavier Lindsay or Murphy Reid is still a chance for us at pick 9? (Especially if Allan or Tauru don’t get through, which is a live possibility.) We are crying out for some good, accurate kicking (lace out) and some footy IQ. It really depends on where JT rates them as well. Could see Hynes come into play possibly (especially if the eagles are desperate for Allan and he makes it to our pick)

    In fairness, i think there is a very real chance that Tauru slides to our pick 9 as well, Bo Allen seems to be coming with a bullet. 

    Langford and Tauru would be a dream result.

    Cal said that Lindsay vs Allen is a 50/50 call we will make at pick 9 and he made a point of saying his prediction might well change with his late mail.

    It’s a tough call. On one hand Allan is a physical athletic beast, but could be a flight risk in the future. On the other hand Lindsay is probably the best kick in the draft with good endurance and pace, while his inside craft is said to be lacking. Could depend on who is selected at 5 as well.

    I’m sorry, misspellings a real trigger for me.

    Good news the club think that about him.

    There's a realistic scenario where Allan is gone to the Tigers at 7 and Lindsay to the Saints (or GWS via trade).

    5. Langford

    9. Tauru

    Gut feel is Giants are all over Lindsay if they grab one of the Saints picks. Closest available player to Windsor given they missed him last year.

    In that scenario that means Tauru is available at pick 9 👀

    What does this mean? With regard to the latter rounds of the draft or have you ordered something off Amazon

    I’ve long loved the Langford Lindsay double so I’d be thrilled with this 

    I still rate Allan too though, so either of them alongside Langford is a massive win

    Style wise, Lindsay makes more sense. Classy user off half back first up

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
