Collingwood got their game back in order that 2nd quarter. They set themselves up well off half back from the likes of Maynard, Quaynor, Noble who gave them great drive in waves. Game could go either way.

Darcy Moore has done a hammy. Looks a 4 weeker

Get em cattas!

Looks like Darcy Moore is gone for the night?

I hate saying this because I've gone into the past month confident with each game of winning. But I think I can see Carlton getting the win over us tomorrow. Their form from a general stats point of view has them right on top, and their numbers are similar to a premiership teams of the past. This is more of a gut feel as well. [censored] hope I'm wrong.....

At the end of the year it seems. Actually reckon he's underrated in AFL circles. Did a pretty good job with our rebuild and list management and probably one of the good guys who deserved to be part of the grand final success. He'll get snapped up quickly you'd think. https://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/1400687/josh-mahoney-to-step-away-from-essendon

You have more chance of Colin Garland pulling on the boots for the new Tassie team then this actually happening.

No, I didn't. You can't just openly say there's no point picking certain draftees purely because he'll definitely go home to Tassie once they enter the AFL system in 2028. Clutching at straws is 'Old' with zero evidence or information to back this up. A lot can change once draftees are in the AFL system and our player retention rate over the last 6-8 years has been excellent. Jason Taylor has openly stated that home sickness has never been a level of concern or taken into consideration when looking into draftee selection. No coincidence that we've also drafted more interstate players then home grown in the past couple of years. @old55 contradiction himself here as well. He says that Melbourne would be ill advised to pick him because he'll most definitely leave a team that will be on the decline with our aging stars such as Petracca and Oliver to then go to a team that will be starting off and most likely won't even content for finals until 5-6 years into the system? By then McKercher is already into his 30's and probably battling to keep his spot Does he then actually not realise also Sydney actually have an older list demographic then Melbourne?

So he'd be inclined to leave Melbourne for Tassie because we will be on the decline but yet happy to stay in Sydney or Freo because their list has far more greater potential? Okay mate.

Unfortunately he hasn't been online since March the 1st 2022..

Dayne Zorko Just kidding

Amazing isn't it.. easily sucked in by media narrative. Dead set, if they were ever going to be reincarnated again with an anima,l it definitely be a fish with the amount of bait they take so easily.

Then I'm not sure why the men can't follow suit? We the first original pioneers and we've got the capacity there in terms of funding etc. Good on Mick and his team.

*African Americans.

I don't really follow the AFLW as much, so I did miss that and certainly wasn't my intention of excluding the AFLW with their set up with the Irish set up. Hopefully we can follow suit.

Does anyone know why we've completely gone off the side in recruiting Irish players? If I recall, the last Irish player we had on our list was Nick Walsh back in 2002. We were one of the first clubs to pioneer this with success and i think it's a little sad we've decided not to pursue this ever since.

Great work with the info 'Red'

What kind of response were you expecting when you categorically stated that a first year key forward who's kicked 21 goals in 16 games delist material at the end of the year. Mind you he's just signed a 2 year extension deal on top of his already 2 year deal. Yes we all have opinions, but your suggestion of him being delisted at the end of year shows your complete lack of football observation and knowledge in today's game.

Welcome back Clarry

Loves the beaches that's for sure.

For a slight KPF his attack on the ball in the air is very impressive.

Bin, I think you're looking into this far too deeply and carrying on a bit. Clarry wasn't being rude at all. This has been Clayton's persona since well before he entered the AFL system. He was exactly like this certainly in my time dealing with him at the Murray Bushrangers. He's generally a shy guy who struggles to compose himself in front of camera at times. Similar to Dusty. He gets anxiety and nervous. You can't be critical of people if this something they're really uncomfortable naturally purely because for your own sake he's representing the club and has to be role model for kids. As if kids are going to look into this and then change their opinions on him as a player.. c'mon mate. We shouldn't be critical of others when they're put in a situation they're uncomfortable with.

Definitely not this year.
