3 firsts for a 30 year old (granted with some picks going back the otherway) is extraordinary

    Agreed! And - did that need to be gendered? 😘

    Yes, it did because of the tone of voice that was going on in my head when I was writing it!

    But, in all seriousness, it was a conscious stylistic choice because I thought the gendering made my point more humourous by tying it to a stereotypically misguided concept of masculinity, rather than to the typically human concept of confirmation bias. I imagine that explaining it like this will make that little joke even funnier ...... 😐

    May it be as successful as the Freo one

    Given this year is a shallow draft we will basically get two picks at the higher end of it and ditch our second rounders for another first in a better draft next year. Not sure how people can't see that as a win.

    So why were you critical of future firsts recently?

    Why is a future first rounder for 24 and 28 delighting so many people? Obviously not seeing what others are seeing.

    Those picks in this draft won’t be used by us probably and are not as good as F1st in 2026 a better draft where we can get another couple of talented youngsters or have ammunition for a trade.

    14 and a future first is absolutely a bad deal. 7,8 and a future first is a totally different conversation.

    Wonder if we have a nibble at one of Essendon's early picks with our F1, should Essendon want to spread their picks over a couple of years

    Okay. To absolutely clarify I have no issue with us taking onfuture firsts as part of a deal especially if the rest of the deal is good too.

    The future 1st is a great addition to the haul. We surely have to be happy with that.

    Two picks in first round of a stronger draft in 2026 is very good to have.

    7-8 this year can give us 2 good kids or one hopefully better kid, if we upgrade for this year.

    We are adding talent before Tassie kills the 2027 draft.

    As far as ‘good riddance’ statements by a club go, that’s a pretty strong one.

    @dazzledavey36 can you please stop telling me they will be fine, I much prefer living in a world knowing and pretending both Carlton and Essendon will be utter trash.

    You don’t have to pretend where Essendon concerned

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
