Worst Ever Draft Decision (& Best)
It is really hard to say given our draft history before JT. I love every player who plays for the red and blue so I find this thread difficult. Lucas Cook, Jimmy Toumpus, Gysberts and Cale Morton were all soft and we wouldn’t take any of them now. Luke Molan was tough as nails but set back by injuries. They all went early but were probably the wrong picks. Hindsight is easy.

Welcome to Demonland: Xavier Taylor
I doubt it. He has been fantastic for us,we wouldn’t have won the premiership without him but he is slow, unacootable and a very poor user of the football. He can hit a target but it’s never damaging. His intercept marks are brilliant but he has been found out and doesn’t get that opportunity much anymore with the work other teams have done on him.

AFLW: PF vs North Melbourne
If BOM predicts sunshine I predict rain. For the gamblers out there Melbourne are ridiculous odds at $9. I don’t think the agencies know how to set the odds properly on AFLW. North are great but you shouldn’t see odds like that in a prelim both sides deserve to be there

AFL Draft 2025: Pick 30 (formerly 37)
Happy to be proven wrong. I was just going off what a passionate bomber supporter told me and apparently that is a concern on bomberland or whatever it is called. They have drafted those players so what I have written is probably wrong but with the best intentions There alot of misconceptions on Demonland it isn’t just limited to us

AFL Draft 2025: Pick 30 (formerly 37)
Back in the day all the Essendon. fans used to say Kickett Long. That was pretty good. I dont like them but to to be fair I dont like anyone besides Melbourne except GWS who have Oliver, Hogan, Bedford and managed to turn Toby Green into an All Australian captain despite his tough up bringing Will be interested to see who the bombers draft this year. Under Dodro they kept a wide birth from indigenous players which is a disgrace given Sheedy pretty much invented the indigenous round and Wanganeen & Long were both selected in the best 25 players in their clubs history. It’s a disgrace anyway but there history makes it worse I have a close mate who follows the bombers equivalent of Demonland and he reckons they are filthy at the overlooking of indigenous players over the last decade

If you run past the ball and elect to bump someone so your team mate can get the football why is that sent to the MRO and not regarded as a shepherd? It’s within 5m of the ball and a footballing act.

Kozzie will get 5 weeks if he shepherds because he wasn’t going for the ball

AFLW: SF vs Adelaide
It doesn’t really matter what the pressure stats were. You just had to watch how ferocious they were with your own eyes. That was how you should play football in a cut throat final when the game is on the line

Melbourne's Hunt for New Head of Football
All clubs are front and back ending players contracts to fit within the salary cap. Are the doing it with the coaches salary cap?

I disagree. Have you seen the champion data clip where Geelong were plus 400 points in time on over the season? We were smashing teams in the last 1/4 in 2021. Fitness is an absolutely essential part of being the best.

He was fantastic last year and will play a different role with a different game plan as well doing a second season. There is no doubt he can improve significantl

I agree he is a visionary. He’ll probably steel the Dees NGA picks next that we get robbed of.

Wildcard Round
Exactly right that Peter Vlandy’s tries to steal everything off Victoria. He has done it with placement of NRL fixturring against the AFL and he has done it with horse racing putting races on with huge prize money on our biggest race days. I can’t remember the last time I agreed with an AFL decision but I agree with this.

Next Captain? (in a few years)
When Clarry and Luke Jackson both request to come back next year they can form part of the leadership group but the next captain would have to be Disco or Rivers.
