PRESEASON TRAINING 2025: Bright and Myrtleford
Most of Whitney's greatest songs IHMO were written by the brilliant George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam. I believe 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' is one of the greatest songs of all time. I'm sure the boys listened to that or 'How Will I know (How Good Steven King Will Be As Coach)' when the CEO was busy getting himself lost in the bush. I hope the latter is not a metaphor for his time in the big job. At least he found the desk after six months. BTW, why did the new CEO go on the camp? I'd prefer him making sure we don't sign sponsors affiliated with bikie gangs.

Welcome to Demonland: Xavier Taylor
The point I was making is that May and Stewart are excellent interceptors. That's Taylor's role.

Behind the scenes on draft night
Does JT not literally say if Essendon take Sharp, we'll pick Taylor and Pickett? Or am I going crazy?

Welcome Back Cookie
I like it. Fascinating framing by the incoming President.

Welcome to Demonland: Xavier Taylor
I was in that system for 20 years, but stopped coaching end of last year, so couldn't tell you if it's changed in the past 12 months. It's a pretty loose goosey competition and as far as I'm aware all the schools do it.

A lot of them call them general excellence these days as the APS stamped down on it for a while.

2025 Draft Report Card
Wasn't sure where to put this, but it seems appropriate enough here. Mods, please feel free to move if need be. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1932890/inside-the-draft-room-access Some great access. I'd prefer it was visual, but I'd suggest this is coming at some point down the track. The most interesting thing of note is this bit: "8:04pm Lamb’s phone rings, it’s a short call. A pick trade is floated by another club, which Lamb shuts down. That’s not part of the Dees’ plan tonight. The draft rolls on. " I wonder which club it was and what they offered.
