Need a longer term list like at least 2 decades of data to see if it validates the OP’s claim.

A decade to forget.

I believe the problem on Demonland is of adults who act like five year olds. Legislation does not address adults impersonating children.

I assume Demonland will fall under the low risk category and likely exempted.

Needs more time in the forward line. Can’t make a unicorn out of a bull.

Despite all the dramas and intrigue surrounding him he still played around his best consistently which is always of a high standard. Does anyone one remember him ever playing a dog of a game? I hope his serious injury and politics wont affect his game for next season.

Since we have Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog in a Nathan Jones thread.

Hoping he turns out like a versatile Brad Close type player. Needs more harness.

His great finals series in 2021 made it all worth it despite his numerous injury setbacks.

Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta. https://thewest.com.au/sport/bush-and-burbs/bush-and-burbs-melbourne-demon-kysaiah-pickett-makes-shock-appearance-in-south-west-football-carnival-c-16477220

Travaglia sounds like an Italian name. Y does not exist in the Italian language. Though I don’t think thats why they spelt it that way or know if they are Italian. Too many parents don’t adhere to established or common name spelling principles for their children these days.

Started his career with a bang but then got bored with footy and is now running the clock down on his contract. Will be back in Port Hedland or wherever after next season.

Harry McKay and Eric Hipwood were first round draft picks that season as well. Lots of big forwards to pick from. Unusual to see so many in one season as first round draft picks and the lower picks turned out the best of the lot. Obviously the talent pool was diluted.

I remember his last game for us against Freo at Optus in 2022. 1 kick, 1 mark and 1 goal all in the second half. He was so bad that day he couldn’t get up the energy to celebrate his goal which came at a handy moment for us. Was lucky to squeeze an extra couple of seasons with the bombers. He only played one game in defence this season in round 24 and looked hopeless and resigned to his fate. He knew his career was over. Best wishes for the future.

We should give the “Brand” a big fat thak you for this.
