Geeze GWS burnt this kid last year by holding onto him

Big time.

Disgraceful actions.

    Seems like nobody is interested in him. Is this a case of us being keen last year, watching him closely in 2025 and deciding his VFL form just wasn't up to scratch?

    I'm not convinced we'd look at our list and tell ourselves - "Nah, we're right for KPPs now."

    Apparently to do with the serious injury he suffered this year.

    Really feel for him.

    Sad to see how this has all ended. Really do hope we pick him up for free in the draft.

    Tim Lamb said today they had cooled off Wade as he would be surplus to requirements due to the rapid rise of Disco and also have high hopes for Jed Adams

    Adams is in a contact year and also the right age to be physically ready to compete. I don’t think he’s much chop but he needs minimum 15 games to play through some mistakes and find out. Otherwise his development will stagnate and/or he’ll head to another club.

    Disco is a lock.

    Lever, Petty, T Mc and maybe even May for the remaining spot.

    I liked Wade because he could play both ends but Mihocek is the guy to structure around up forward and we’ve got 3 young guys, big AJ, Melksham, maybe some Petty. So it’s covered.

    Time to start churning the list with some high upside youth.

    I think our tall defensive stocks are in good shape at the moment.

    Disco, Lever, Petty, T Mac, May and Adams is a pretty deep depth chart.

    Howes, Bowey, Salem and AMW for our medium/smalls. McVee obviously a loss.

    I think our defence is middle of the road at worst.

    Agree re Adams. I've not seen much to be enthused about even at Casey but hopefully he gets solid game time next year. I'd rather he get games than May who we look likely to retain.

    So, will this then mean that we will not have a look at Leek Aleer?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
