PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
some iffy ball work at times but plenty to build on, 4th most contested possessions, 2nd most tackles inside F50. If he sharpens up the disposals he'll be fine.

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Riddle me this demonlanders, I know some people argue about picking on best talent vs best option. If we're looking option wise, what type of player do we target with our first pick?

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Hmmm, may May play May 3rd? maybe? Maybe not, Mayday for May.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Love Maysie but does appear that his body is failing him a little or he's being rushed back. Obviously isn't helped by Lever/Hore also being injured and Petty shifted forward (to some success) Maybe it's time to test JvR as a swingman as well?

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Agreed Howes the more likely, seems they're happy with Petty forward for now.

Wishing clarry all the best. Thought we’d get Turner and Laurie in. Little perplexed but go team

Trade Targets
Re; Butters Saw an article that said the doggies were sniffing at 1.5M a year and 2-3 first rounders. Geelong waiting in the wings depending on Rowell/Oliver situations. Saints seemingly putting eggs in TDK and Leek Aleer baskets.

Tom McDonald re-signs for 2025
FEW DEFENDERS have been more reliable in defence this season than Tom McDonald. Anchoring the backline with his trademark grit and discipline, McDonald has stood out in key defensive stats this season—leading the competition in one percenters (55), a measure of the most selfless, team-first efforts on the ground. Digging deeper, McDonald ranks No.1 in the AFL for spoils (47), consistently getting a fist in to break up contests and shut down aerial threats. He’s also equal-first for contested defensive one-on-ones (24), winning the moments that matter most deep in defence. He’s climbed to 6th in the league for intercept possessions (53), highlighting his ability to read the play and turn defence into attack. It’s the type of form that doesn’t always make the highlight reel, but wins games. This season, McDonald moved into the top 10 on Melbourne’s all-time games list, surpassing Jeff White and further cementing his place in club history. His consistent output also has him closing in on a spot among the VFL/AFL’s all-time leaders for one percenters. It’s been a big year—and the numbers continue to prove it. Onya Tom

The Logan Morris Thread
Where does Key Forward even begin size wise, this lad is 3 cm taller than our medium forward Fritsch. Are we looking at a Fritsch (Out) Morris (In) situation? Don't know how i feel about this. One thing i can say with certainty is Morris does not have beautiful hair.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I don’t think I’m in denial— agree he’s lost some of his dynamism and that was part of his greatest weapons in the modern game. Could well be carrying too much weight inclusive of muscle. Just think phrases like 'fat' or 'footballing equivalent of fat' could be better phrased given he's had some weight issues previously in his life.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Lad is getting older, bodies change, leaner in the earlier photos, most likely but action shots not always the best, there are plenty of photos from 2021 that look different to the one you posted. Also we don't know what program the players are on, its a difficult balancing act at times, often read about players in sport putting on too much muscle and losing dynamic ability. On a side note I love albino alligators.

The Next CEO
Some football industry experience would have been a bonus but he seems a suitable candidate all things aside. But it's an interesting one, I know its a very different sport/industry. But Manchester United previously appointed a M&A banker as their CEO and he was absolutely cabbage.
-
The Next CEO
Some minor concerns he's not from a football background but he's obviously a talented businessman. Hopefully he steers us in the right direction and we start ticking off some items on the to-do list.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
I feel that whatever he does he'll have his knockers on here due to 1) His physical attributes 2) he's not super prolific as a goal scorer. I still believe he is a good cog to have in a well performing team - but the issue of recent times has been we are not a well oiled machine.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
I wonder what the case would have been if the player was concussed. That's seemingly saved him here? Saw lots of social media/former players defend TG. Assume Pickett's past form didn't help here. Still annoyed at that suspension, didnt help our poor start.

Spargo, Sharp or Culley???????
I want Chuck Spargo in my team. Happy with Sharp/Henderson being subs/understudy as depth. I do imagine Culley will force his way into the picture sooner rather than later though
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
I usually go to this game with my tigers supporting pal but he's a late out (non-curfew related) so i'll be there by myself. Both sides a little unpredictable so far this season, if we play like we did last week we should be fine. Hoping May is free of any injury shackles, keen for Fritta to explode with some goals as well.

Tairon Ah-Mu - No access for Dees NGA Talent
I know its a different kettle of fish so to speak, but I watch a lot of underage European football. I am very hit and miss on my 'this kid is going to be a star' statements. Either way it seems the AFL will tortoise there way on the issue and we'll miss out on him

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Imagine if he started and got subbed out for the curfew, the app would be like Balta - Substituted (Curfew) haha

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
I think it’s more defending the calls for him to be dropped, was reasonable .
