Not a dees rumour but found it amusing that the dons have allegedly made a "massive" offer for Weddle who comes out of contract next year. Supposedly around $10mil over 7 years.

Retaliation for the Hawks attempt to lure Merrett perhaps?

Weddle will suit Essendon as they wonโ€™t be playing finals. Weddle in his 5 finals has been underwhelming for the most part. Plays his best during the regular season.

I only saw the Adelaide game but I thought he was one of their best? To be fair I did keep noticing him as 6โ€™4โ€™ winger that looked way quicker than he should so maybe he didnโ€™t play that well, haha

I thought he was great in 24 but had a shocker finals campaign. Somewhat better this finals campaign but heโ€™s a better defender than winger. He doesnโ€™t get the ball enough though like NikNat he looks awesome in highlight reels.

Well thatโ€™s fun!

And I am still bitter about that. Top of the ladder rd18 and out in first weekโ€ฆ sigh.

Feels like there is next to no chance we don't throw the kitchen sink at Zak Butters is there?

surely we put up mega dollars and try and lure one of Butters, Bailey, Humphrey or Reid in the next 12-24 months?

Meh, it's such ancient history I'd forgotten all about it. Was probably also in a period that my interest in footy had been sidelined by other life priorities, like moving interstate, buying a house and getting married.

That all said, I still regard 1998 as the premiership that got away from us. We finished 4th and smashed Adelaide (5th) and St Kilda only to loose to North in the prelim who then lost to Adelaide in the grand final. It was under the previous top 8 finals series system which allowed Adelaide to stay in as the 2nd lowest looser or something - in today's superior top 8 finals series they would have been out in the first week.

Iโ€™m sure we will but itโ€™s hard to see us landing anyone of note if weโ€™re miles off finals at the end of 2026.

The end of 2021 was our massive chance to land a big fish but we were unable to. Unsure how and why we missed out on Cerra at the time.

Big fish and Cerra are not the same thing.

Iโ€™d say our failed attempts with a lot of our targets have been a blessing influence disguise.

Cerra and Houston being two glaring examples

It's forced us to go to the draft which has accelerated our rebuild thankfully.

1998 is the most exciting Melbourne time I've seen up until 2018. I do remember going to the North prelim, though, and thinking we played well but they were genuinely too good.

Agree that the system then was bizarre. We trounced Adelaide.

In today's Top 8 system Adelaide (13 wins) would have played Essendon (12 wins), who finished 8th, in Adelaide.

Worst game we played for the year.
