Just got an e-mail from Tasmania Football Club that Todd has been appointed Head of List Management and Strategy. Guessing this is a big loss given the AFLW team has been pretty good?

    That would be an incredibly big loss, if true. He has done a wonderful job keeping the AFLW list competitive. That said, it is hardly surprising that other organisations would come knocking. Its just a pity that we couldn't find him a role with the AFL list management team, because I'm not a fan of Tim Lamb's work.

    I posted when Ben Brown left that we have been losing a lot of quality people out of our AFLW program over the past year or so. I would like some reassurance from the club that these are being replaced with people of similar quality.

    He has. Not quite at the Adelaide and Brisbane level, but still very strong.

    And if he was responsible for the Pick 2 for Mithen trade... that's bordering on magic.

    Todd will most certainly be missed at Melbourne FC, but he is returning to his home state of Tasmania to fulfil the role of Devils Head of List Management and Strategy. Great appointment.

    Don't understand alot of the Lamb criticism, part of delivering a flag after so many years and injuries and player issues aside we have a pretty good list.

    Most speculative picks or trade misses are for depth players we hope show something extra at mfc. On top of that, formidable players don't choose to switch clubs because they like the list manager. Its up to the coaches, player group and perceptions of the club to get players across the line

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      This season cannot end soon enough. Disgraceful.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
