    Freo are becoming the Bombers scrapheap now eh? At least it's not us.

    Think we have made some good choices up in the top of the draft... the later picks - well lets just hope they are CAC specials like Whelan and Bruce.

    Think DB sounds like a better developer of the kids than ND was and I cant wait to see how things pan out... damn I am excited.

    Could Pfiefer be picked up in the psd?

    i think he will...probably be richmond.

    with Maric picked up, i dont see the need for Sampi...

    Not just Maric. We've gone small and medium with our picks. No really tall or solid players. We must be well positioned now to take a likely ruckman in the rookie draft and I'd like to see us draft a KPP in the PSD. If not a recycled player then at least a young kid who didn't get drafted.

    With Maric and Davey on the list and having drafted players of the size of Grimes and Cheney I can't see us possibly taking Sampi in the PSD.

    He's not eligible I don't think. Definitely a rookie option though.

    Well considering that Freo was willing to offer their 4th round pick to Essendon in exchange for Bradley, I think it worked out pretty well for them in the end... and Essendon got nothing, which is even better. The idiots could have had an extra pick, instead they delisted him only for him to end up at Freo anyways.

    Speaking of recycled players, Dew looks like he swallowed an entire Maccas joint!

    Having met him on many occasions, he is a really lovely guy who enjoys a meal.... or 10, but seeing his photo in the paper today shocked me. He definitely needs a long, hard pre-season before he even contemplates fitting into an AFL jumper.

    Rumour has it he was 120 kg earlier this year. 30 kilos heavier than his playing weight :lol:

    No rumour. It was reported in the The Age on Sunday.

    Should go for a Jenny Craig endorsement?

    Fremantle. I'd like to take a moment to thank them for Jeff Farmer.

    Handed to us for Phil Gilbert. Taken back half a decade later, giving us pick 17.

    So, net result, we got some of the best years of Jeff Farmer and pick 17, for free.

    Anyway, the best thing about the Bradley & Johnson move to Freo is that either way, at least one of Essendon or Fremantle will look like idiots.

    Given our past experience with trying to recycle bombers (Heffernan, Moorcroft) I'm glad we didn't give it a go this time, and don't feel very optimistic for Freo.

    Stat of the day - Bradley didn't lay a tackle in any of his four games for 2007. He laid four tackles in a single game in his debut season (2005), which represents 10% of the tackles he's laid in his 50 game career.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
