Great to see Bedford & Hogan kicking goals! Had a chance to take Hogan back & keep Bedford…

got ben brown and a premiership instead

we prioritised chandler over bedford, and the former is probably winning our best and fairest at this point in time, and getting better and better all the time

Who honestly thinks Reid will stay put.

all indications suggest otherwise

the big q is who is going to offer him the juiciest deal and give meth coke what they need to prise him free

we're been in this position before, where a prince who was promised was selected at #1 and never truly looked committed to the cause

ain't fun

bedford and jj both left for more opportunity; chandler and sparrow were both ahead of them at the time, and chandler is still a superior player to bedford

we got second round picks for both, from memory, which enabled us to trade 'up' to get the likes of tholstrup etc.

they had contract offers with us but took the chance to go north to get more game time; it's worked in their favour, just as langdon leaving flagmantle for us worked in his and ours

swings, roundabouts

jj being able to leave as a free agent was galling and only possible as a result of the stupid afl's stupid rule changes (that have since been rescinded, i think) for delisted free agents, where the only reason we 'delisted' jj was because in those days you had to take a mandatory # of picks in the draft, but could 'retain' that player as a dfa on your own list

seriously one of the dumbest rule changes ever, that cooked us just like the change to nga selections hurt us (and the aints) after jamara went #1, which has since been rolled back, and everyone had a hissy fit about academy selections

be interesting to see if as much 'tunneling' attention is given to what toby greene just did to matt owies as has been given to bayley fritsch doing similar to tom stewart

I don’t think Dangerfield was entirely innocent either.

Essendon have our pick potentially 3-4 plus their own first.

If Allan goes do they get a compensation pick?

They might get 1,2?

Either team?

can we pin this post so that every moron who complains about us ‘getting rid’ of Jordon and Bedford can see it?

yes, if he leaves as a free agent, they will - most likely - get band 1 compensation

So potentially eagles will have

Pick 1 for finishing last

Pick 2 band 1 compo

Pick 3 our first pick via bombers for Reid

Pick 5/6 bombers first pick

So out of Hogans 9 marks which he subsequently booted 9 goals how many marks were big contested pack marks and how many were taken out on a lead.

This one is far worse, as Greene looked at Owies before tunnelling him and then Owies is completely upended, landing on his head. This was extremely dangerous. Greene could have pulled out.

Now the old boys are saying “what could Toby have done”? Pulled out for a start.

This is the difference in the media.

Fritta canned and people looking for a suspension and with Toby, trying to get him off.

 

Can see St Kilda being one of those sides that goes from missing the 8 to finishing top 4 either after round 24 or at the conclusion of the finals. They’ll win the majority of their games at Marvel and will pick up a bonus away win today. Could even beat GWS next week at a neutral venue.

Port are a bit like us at the moment. Severely low on confidence.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
