Great watch. One thing that stood out for me was how good it is for both of them to have mate/teammate to share the journey with. Makes thing a lot easier when it feels like there’s two of ye in it. 
Should make the transition to AFL that bit easier. Best of luck to both.

    Also enjoyed it.

    The stuff around the draft is about the most interesting stuff a club can put out I reckon.

    Loved after the 2019 draft when the club put out the behind the scenes video of conversations and deliberations the footy department had had before drafting Jackson, Pickett and Rivers, and also on the two draft nights, and wish they'd do it every year.

    I'd find that much more interesting than what was in the video this week (apologies to those who enjoyed it).

    Agree. I’d love to see that again every year

    They could do a "Draft Rewind" with similar content. So, 2025, release some video of such discussions from 2020 or 2015 (whatever's available). Super interesting and even more so with a bit of hindsight - and more likely to include interesting aspects of that content if some time has passed.

    This would be an amazing idea - obviously with the proviso that the draftees still at our club are OK with any frank discussion of them included in the content!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
