    Potentially why we have the late pick available to match a bid. If it comes too early then so be it.

    Let's just hope it's not a popular rag with the common folk.

    Especially so at Carringbush, out Moonee Ponds way or beyond the Port Jackson hinterlands.

    Just noticed that Sam Marshall is Brisbane academy despite playing for Sandy Dragons. That seems a bit on the nose for me and contradicts the reasons for the academy.

    It looks to me a policy of Brisbane's, to send their good NGA members down to Vic for their football schooling.

    Pub test failed!

    What’s the feeling on whether Andrew will be selected by another club, so we have to match and use our last list spot/pick, or whether he gets through and we can rookie him?

    to be honest i'm half expecting him to slide through 

    talls simply don't seem to have the premium placed upon them that they did as recently as three, four years ago

    Not a surprise, club never were really linked with him. A fraction undersized and doesn’t kick well. That said, cost was basically the last pick in the draft. But we don’t seem to be a club that turns over the list these days.

    The club we gave Grundy to. 

    Hope they have a good FA we can take from them next year.

    They seemed shocked we didn’t match, didn’t see a single smile from their group.

    Maybe we just rate players better then him?

    No biggie.

    We weren’t even able to make a mistake with Mac. But given half the chance we would have found a way

  • Quote

    ah well, if we really wanted him, we would have made it happen.

     

    would have been nice to slide through as a rookie

    We don’t have the list spots, our third pick is all we have and clearly they wanted other players.

    Its not like we don’t have young kids developing but we do seem to hang on to guys as well as paying the price for top ups that so far haven’t worked.

    Im not even sure if we wanted Riak as cat B which does seem wild because he has more upside than Mentha IMO.

    Disappointed....but I have faith in Jason Taylor's decision.

    I think there's another two younger Andrew brothers anyway?

    said so in the johnson thread, but im truly gutted by this, its non-commital by the club and is going against the youthful processes we've been on for some time now. theres just so many ways this ends badly for us, watching mac flourish, ourselves getting destroyed by aliir playing against the swans in the past. i think his athletic potential once in the pro systems, he's gonna make us look so silly

     Paul Amy on X is reporting that Deng Andrew, brother of Mac and Riak, is fighting for a place on the Northern Bullants list. A long way from Casey.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
