    Werribee, you don't seem to rate Brownlows. Anyway....

    What I think is interesting how often top ten selections don't realise their potential and then go to another club ..... and don't realise their potential. Yep, some of these players had their careers cruelled by injury and the occasional ones like Dom Tyson and Tomlinson look they've now made it BUT not permanently. And I'd say we picked 7 of these second-chancers. Apart from maybe Tyson the "sell high, buy low" strategy of redeeming these high-draft underperformers just doesn't work (,maybe)

    There is no world where Jack Viney is a better player than Lachie Whitfield.

    2012 draft had some fair failures in the too 10.

    Same goes for Harry Himmelberg over Jacob Weitering, that is crazy talk

    Good effort to have a go though

    weitering very stiff here, worse than himmelberg and hipwood is laughable, probably better than mckay too

  • Quote

    Weitering would be my #1 in the draft, ahead of Oliver then Dawson

    The last couple of seasons may have lowered Claz’s colours, but his career before that was extraordinary

    What about Clarry below McKay.

    Even Curnow struggled with injuries.

    Did the Dees bid on Mills? I think we thought he was a slight chance. But the AFL and the Swans knew his talent

    Viney over Whitfield. 😂

    Okay I’ll bite too. Got you on ignore because of your guesses of teams coming out (sometimes educated but often missing key information) but off season stuff I can engage.

    Jack Macrae was winning AA blazers for fun and was the best ball winner in the comp there for a couple years. Banged up now and lost the pace but he has had a gun career. An insult to have him dropping in the draft.

    • 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.

      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.
