Darcy?

If I was starting a team from scratch he would be my number one pick

    Same. But he’s still overrated.

    He's a member of a class of well remunerated tall forwards known as 'b-graders'. Members include Membery, McStay, McLean, Darling and Marshall. They all have similar career stats and drive their clubs supporters nuts. They also have a disturbing pattern of playing in premierships.

    He is a C grader at best... was shizzen again last night! Would not get a game at West Coast!

    Father Sons have worked well for the Lions & Pies, what I question is the strategy of those teams inc the cats in there premiership windows have topped up with experienced players vs our strategy to go back to the draft which Goodwin confirmed, did we blow the opportunity to maximise our window 22-23 ??

    I tried to follow that sentence but got trapped in a father-son-cat-draft-premiership wormhole. By the time I emerged, it was 2051, Louis Gawn had just retired with three Brownlows and two Colemans in his kit bag, and we were still debating our 2022 list strategy and the merits of drafting Jack Watts with pick one. Pass the spaghetti — I need carbs to survive that syntax.

    easier to top up with experienced players when you can trade out of any early picks you have for experienced players in the full knowledge that you are bringing in incredible talent like nick daicos, ashcroft brothers, a fletcher, etc. etc. so that you are able to bring in top end talent regardless

    Port now below us on percentage, with Adelaide to come next week.

    Win tonight and next week and there's a fair chance we jump to 11th. Port and Carlton have tough runs home, so we could keep it.

    Nothing in it for us other than pride and ruining Essendon's pick.

    Coupla bucks on Norf at $14.

    Probably throwing it away but gives me something to cheer for.

    Umpiring generally makes it really hard work when you're a visiting team against a porochial crowd. You can't tell me these yellow blokes don't get sucked in by the crowd.

    Started to watch Dorks v Port. Dermie was special comments.

    I've often wondered how someone so charismatic as a footballer can be so mind-numbingly boring to listen to?

    Maybe I'm in the minority.

    Interesting that there's now a clear top 9 within which even a current top 4 team could miss finals the end if the season.

    On the other hand, the 'also-ran' premiership at 10th place is wide open. If the kangaroos get over Sydney today even they are a mathematical shot.

    It isn't the greatest achievement in footbal but climbing past Port, Carlton and the Swans in the late season to finish in the much more respectable sounding tenth would be a worthy pursuit.

    Plus, every draft slot it costs Essendon is a bonus.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
