    Norf selling home games is as good as is us selling a game to NT.

    I know they would have got a lot more money playing at optus, but they could have played under the roof at marvel & would have probably won

    Will Schofield asked Luke Jackson about him and Darcy going up against the premier ruckman in the competition in Tristan Xerri, and Jackson began his response with "Yeah, Xerri's probably a top two ruckman in the comp."

    Made me laugh because we know who Jackson thinks the premier ruckman in the competition is. His future teammate.

    We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained.

    Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground.

    The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look.

    Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

    I hated selling Home Games to Brisbane, i don’t care what the Financial gains were.

    Find an alternative Income Stream

    Same with the NT, i have no problem spending time up there during preseason, but selling Home Games is just not right.

    We give ourselves a disadvantage every Season

    I know balance isn't your strong suit but you should at least try some.

    Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

    Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

    Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

    I’ve raised this before about North Melbourne but if we had their clinical accuracy we’d be $1.02 favourites to win the flag.

    Out of 14 games they’ve had one occasion whether they’ve kicked more behinds than goals and they still managed 10.11.

    That's interesting, he didn't look too bad with his tap work in the last qtr and I haven't seen any reports in the post match about him being injured.

    Right. Time to let a bee out of my bonnet.

    Tom McCarthy.

    Just shy of his 25th birthday, taken in the mid-season draft.

    Close to nil salary and almost as little 'investment' in his development by the AFL system over the years.

    Had an actual real-person job until about four weeks ago.

    31 disposals, at 93% efficiency, NINE intercepts, just short of 600m gained.

    Clearly BoG for his side and possibly for the game.

    So my question, with additional reference to other second-tier upgrades as well as top-performing kids, is...

    What is the $20-30m a year, per club, of player salaries and football department budget actually getting?

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
