“Equalisation”

This is what the lions paid for Will Ashcroft. A side that had just played finals for 5 years.

“The Lions traded out pick 36 and a future-third round pick to Hawthorn for picks 41, 50, 52 and 63.

Brisbane also gave North Melbourne pick 63 and their 2023 third-round selection in exchange for pick 40.”

what a fkking joke!

the points nonsense is BS

    Last game for Danger or does he go again?

    Last week amazing but all year, just ok

    Danger mouse has reached his limit. Bye bye Danger & Jeelong .. too many 30 plus that can't run the second half

    FWIW, I hate Jeelong but I hate Collibobbles more

    I'm glad Brisvagas has their b2b.

    Now it's our turn.

    Geelong, Colliwobbles 2.0 🤭

    Honestly between Collingwood and Geelong they must have the most losses in GF and PF.

    It would hurt but it's the right thing to do. The Academies need to follow suit, pronto!

    Adding Draper and Allen next year although I don't think they would be that great the current mix is perfect. Coleman returning is a huge weapon if he can stay fit

    Their trades over the last 5-6 years have been great & improved their list, father sons have worked well, their academy has produced Harris Andrews, Eric Hipwood, Jesse Wardlaw, Keidean Coleman, Ty Gallop, and Sam Marshall.

    Are the Victorian teams disadvantaged with the academies in Sydney & qld teams??

    Gotta break up the academies, these clubs knew the risks deciding to plant roots in non AFL strongholds.

    For the draft to be truly fair, no PP’s, no academies and sadly no f/s.

    It needs to be 100% open

    Academies should not have any ties to the clubs. Period.

    Let the AFL run them and then those players enter the open draft market.

    Geelong are a good team but they get a free pass into September every season.

    They are literally the ONLY team that gets genuine home ground advantage and that dung heap down the highway. Like, a proper advantage. Interstate teams can provide a hostile environment when they play at home, but it’s still just a regular ground.

    Geelong’s ground is incredibly hard to play at with its dimensions AND THEY GET TO TRAIN ON IT.

    So, 9 home games a year against minnow sides means 7-9 guaranteed wins, then 5 at the MCG where they have no real disadvantage to the tenants, a few at Docklands, etc.

    Imagine if we got 9 home games a year at Casey.

    They’re still a good side, always have been always will be, but it’s kinda unfair if you ask me.

    Keep the F/S but at the right price. Meaning, pay the [censored] draft pick that it actually is.

    If a F/S is a first pick then you,as a club, need to trade that first pick. Or not contend for it if can't pay for it.

    Yeah, I reckon there’s about at least half a dozen ways of saying that – “to Pete” is probably the clumsiest.

    It’s a wonder he didn’t call last year a one – peat 🙄

    No, if you want a fair draft it's time for F/S to go....

    Huge from Brisbane - showed that their best was still the best when it mattered

    And I won’t credit it all to F/S and academies as their coaching and trades have been near best in the comp for years now

    But the AFL now have a serious problem on their hands - you can’t claim equalisation and then have a back to back premier add a top five talent via their academy (a year after doing the same thing via F/S)

    Reforming the trade and draft system in the name of equalisation has to be at the top of Greg Swan’s list this off season, otherwise we’re going to have an even more lopsided comp in years to come

    And unfortunately the Dees will be on the wrong side of that ledger

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
