    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: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
