“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.

    Um, that's called a 'repeat', BT 🤦

    wait'll we miss out on a genuine superstar father-son cos we don't have enough points...

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

    Bad news is that the Lions have the best list by a mile and are young

    they could win 4-5 flags all up

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
