Ash, who would you take to Essendon?

Essendons needs are a little different. Our midfield is poor, and while our backline is ok, with Fletcher and Micheal the wrong side of 30, that could do with some help.

Adel - B.Rutten [best full back, can always do with a player like him]

Bris - J.Brown [TGNTT - too good not to take, although Power would suit us as well]

Carl - M.Murphy [great young prospect]

Coll - S.Pendleburt [see above]

Frem - M.Pavlich [TGNTT]

Geel -G.Ablett Jnr [would give our midfield a lift]

Haw - J.Lewis [i'm a fan of him, not so much a fan of Franklin]

Kang - B.Harvey [has pace]

Melb - Either J.Rivers or B.McLean [your best defender and midfielder]

Port - C.Cornes [TGNTT]

Rich - Probably Deledio

StKil - N.Dal Santo [their best mid]

Syd - Not sure, pretty even team. Perhaps A.Goodes.

WCE - C.Judd [TGNTT]

WB - A.Cooney [has pace]

 

How could anyone pick dal santo over Riewoldt?

Glad none of you are involved in with the club. Actually, come to think of it maybe you are.

I still don't know why we didnt pick up Daniel Connors. I claimed him when he was playing for Vic Country...yet he managed to slide down the draft order till about pick 50. Ridiculous. He has Hodge like qualities..and yes..I do think he will be as good.

 

Adelaide - Ben Rutten (We need a FB)

Brisbane - Jonathon Brown

Carlton - Carazzo

Collingwood - Heath Shaw

Essendon - Matthew LLoyd

Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich

St. Kilda - Matthew Maguire

Essendon - Alwyn Davey (2 davey's in the one team!!!)

Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich (see jonathan brown)

Geelong - Garry Ablett (absolute superstar)

Hawthorn - Buddy Franklin (freak!!!)

Kangaroos - Brent Harvey (very consistant midfielder who can kick goals)

Port Adelaide - Chad Cornes (can play back,midfield or forward, what more do you want)

Richmond - Nathan Foley (under-rated midfielder who keeps racking impressing)

St. Kilda - Nick Riewoldt (see pavlich or brown)

Sydney - Brett Kirk (tagger and a true leader)

West Coast - Dean Cox (best ruckman in the comp)

Western Bulldogs - Brad Johnson (31yrd and is still improving)

Scary how similar a lot of these lists are.

I like the idea of the list of young players someone suggested. Throw em all together and win for a decade.

I must admit he looked very good is a losing team against Geelong on Saturday. I knew very little about him before the weekend, but he looks Ok.

It's not a bad point, and I'm a massive Riewoldt fan. But it depends on needs. Essendon need an A-Grade mid fielder, whereas with Lloyd and Lucas in the side, a key forward isn't as important.

I think Melbourne need both. Jones, McLean and McDonald provide some grunt, with TJ being the only real silk. I would think Dal Santo would fit in there nicely. As would Riewoldt, but you can only pick one.

Adelaide - Brett Burton - HFF

Brisbane - Jonathon Brown - CHF

Carlton - Jarrod Waite - KPP

Collingwood - Tarkyn Lockyer - Running Defender

Essendon - Dustin Fletcher - KP Defender

Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich - KP Forward

Geelong - Give me Garry - Running Mid

Hawthorn - Lance Franklin - KP Forward

Kangaroos - Brent Harvey - Running Mid

Port Adelaide - Chad Cornes - Versatile

Richmond - Brett Delidio - Running Wing

St. Kilda - Nick Dal Santo - Running Wing

Sydney - Brett Kirk - In & Under Mid

West Coast - Dean Cox - Ruckman

Western Bulldogs - Brian Harris - Full Back

Perhaps the AFL should let us take anyone from each team for our 150th b'day...

Adelaide: Ben Rutten

Brisbane: Jonathan Brown, followed by Jed Adcock

Carlton: Bryce Gibbs

Collingwood: Heath Shaw

Essendon: Matthew Lloyd

Fremantle: Matthew Pavlich

Geelong: Gary Ablett

Hawthorn: Sam Mitchell

Kangaroos: Glenn Archer 14 years ago (if that doesn't count, then Daniel Harris will have to do)

Port Adelaide: Chad Cornes

Richmond: Axel Foley

St. Kilda: Nick Riewoldt

Sydney: Adam Goodes

West Coast: Chris Judd

Western Bulldogs: Enry Higgins

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
