His old man was such a compact player. I hated seeing him play for Port although it was good for his career.

Hope his form continues to trend upwards.

    Time to keep a closer eye on Archie.

    Made his reserves debut yesterday for West Adelaide and had 26 disposals and 11 marks.

    This is off the back of two straight week of 36 disposal game against Norwood and backed it up with a 38 disposal game a week later.

    Like the fact he gets a lot of the ball. Something we have a lack of.

    An absolute no brainer this one, I feel a long range special coming on.

    Maybe

    He's played one game in the SANFL reserves. The team lost but he played well with around 12 kicks and 15 handballs. (I rate him higher in a losing team)

    Hope you're right but let's see

    I reckon he's worth a rookie spot.@Diamond_Jim

    Can we trade JT for a guy that can identify forward talent?

    What a [censored] post.

    Identify forward talent - what Kozzie, LJ, Fritta, and JVR aren't enough?

    I guess you want JT to control the forward entry so it's not just bombs to dead pockets and loose men in defence as well.

    Like the idea of grabbing Walsh(hopefully late/cheap), from all the chatter this years draft crop won’t be as good generally so good to have our picks protected to a degree.

    Hope we straighten out our draft hand for 2026 and let JT loose to mine the 2nd and 3rd round gems. If there’s any chance to bolster our hand next year because we know we don’t need to cover points matching (admittedly risky), would be good to trade picks to the teams scrambling to make up points. ie if we can trade our second rounder this year to a later second rounder and upgrade next years fourth to a teams third, might not seem much but could make a world of difference to both sides. That said we need to make sure we can pay for kalani sinnema and Walsh as necessary so hope they have a good read on where bids will come

    Could be.

    I suppose I've had the gloss taken off by K Brown and Woewodin plus Stretch before that. All good solid VFL players but lacking that little bit extra

    IIRC pick 54 plus is where Carlton picked up one of the Camporeale twins who were often spoken of as "hot picks" as they came through the juniors.

    Good luck to Archie

    • 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.
