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a free agent was galling and only possible as a result of the stupid afl's stupid rule changes (that have since been rescinded, i think) for delisted free agents, where the only reason we 'delisted' jj was because in those days you had to take a mandatory # of picks in the draft, but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

22 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
