Darcy?

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

    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.

    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.

    Go Dees

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
