Normally I would agree but they look like a genuine contender next year - on paper at least. Guns everywhere

I have heard this said many times during preseason, so far…..

    St Kilda and Essendon are the pre season specialists. Every commentator talks about how they are ready to explode…. Very rarely happens

    Dont doubt the appeal of WA. I was amazed by the potential over there and have been saying to get your kids qualified and send them over there where there is a shortage of every trade and skill. The place is run by a small number of uber rich using backpacker and flyin fly out labour.

    Get Judd to Uni get him qualified and able to invest in the most exciting future environment  locations in the world.

    It’s a good place for trades or if you want to work in mining, but limited other than that.

    Relax y’all… I had an awesome chat with Judd’s girlfriend Lily at last night’s B&F about a range of things (hair and nails and makeup. You know, the important things) and there’s “absolutely no way he’s going back to WA.” Judd came over and we stopped talking but he guessed what we’d been discussing and he confirmed that he’s not interested at all in returning to WA.

    I would hope that's the case but Judd and his partner aren't going to tell supporters anything other than he's staying, regardless of his actual intentions

    Used to be the cap state, but that's been usurped by the Sunshine coast. Even though now environment means a lot.

    You don't have to justify yourself. Thanks again for the great insights, which I'm sure the vast majority of us here really appreciate.

    This kind of response comes up all the time here, and it's such a weak, flawed argument - not to mention, confirmation bias.

    This is true. I can hardly post an entire 20-minute conversation verbatim, but I wanna share the general vibe which in this case was great. This kind of response is exactly what happened when I had a very similar conversation with Kozzie’s partner, and that situation’s turned out fine.

    I agree.  Whether the young ones are telling half truths or not. It still feels good,  hope they always tell the truth,

    Of course, if there comes the patter of even smaller feet, things might change ,  150 more games, couple of GF medals,  go with my blessings if I can still give them in 5 or 6 years .

    I'm staggered that anybody could possibly argue with this.

    @Ghostwriteryour insight is appreciated. But chats like this should of course be taken with a grain of salt. If he is thinking of leaving (not saying he is!) of course he's not going to tell supporters that!

    If you have an ounce of sense, you know to take this with a grain of salt. What isn't necessary is sniping at people simply providing information.

    I never preface a report of a conversation with “He/she may not be telling me the truth but he/she said…” because I assume everyone already knows there’s a possibility that he/she isn’t telling the truth.
     

    In this instance Judd brought the subject up which leads me to believe he was 100% sincere, but as @bing181 said, I shouldn’t have to justify myself.

    edit: a former poster put up with this ‘til she couldn’t any longer. I don’t want a repeat of this.

    I really rate this kid as a high quality role player in the back half.  Can lock down well whilst showing he has excellent rebounding skills with his sharp pace, good decision making and efficient kicking.

    Not a fan of seeing him in the midfield.  Don't mind they gave it a crack late in the year with nothing to lose to see how he'd go, but he's far more valuable as an asset down back.  

    I'd be amazed if West Coast and Fremantle weren't fair dinkum having a crack at this kid.  That's just the price you pay for having good players at your club.  

    Just like I'd be amazed if we weren't continually talking to every Victorian kid with talent who plays in SA, NSW, QLD or WA.  

    I'm not a believer of him being a future All-Australian or anything like that - primarily as he's a defender who defends instead of zoning off getting 25 touches - but there is no reason he won't be a 200-250 gamer for the club and finish multiple Melbourne B&Fs in the top 10.

    I can't see a single example of anyone sniping at @Ghostwriter on this thread though. Sniping and discussing are two completely different things!

    Luke Jackson the day after draft night with his new mfc jumper on having a break from talking to media at docklands said to me he has been to melb with sports rep sides many times and loved it and he knew he would likely leave WA anyway and was very happy

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
