I was expecting 20k with the grand prix and the weather so wasn't surprised. It was pretty miserable out there today. But if they boys put in efforts like they deserve people to show up and cheer them on. Like others have said against the lowest supported team in the comp on a day like today thats not too bad but against especially suns in two weeks I want to see more. Its those who are able to come but prefer to watch from the comfort of their own homes the annoy me the most. I remember Mike Sheahan saying that in an interview a few years back and it really [censored] me off. If its medical, financial, being abroad etc. all of those things of course are understandable. But if you're in Melbourne and have the ability and resources to come to games at least try to make it along to a few. Thought we were pretty loud for a small crowd today but come along and help us lift the boys up more!!!

Some serious outs and concerns for GWS Out for round 2 - Tom Green, Riccardi Questionable - Hogan, Brown A few decent depth players also out due to suspension (including McMullin who is decent and due for more midfield time) I hope their game this weekend is a bruising affair to add to it all.

Childish humour here but repeating Xavier Lindsays nickname quickly and consecutively as players do calling for the ball must sound a tad funny. @Ghostwriter have you heard it out loud?

What are you seeing from Johnson that makes you think he deserves the starting CHF spot?

I went along to every game at the G last year and in all but one or two games I spotted Clayton throwing up on the field. He quite literally tried his guts out last season when his body wasn't ready for it. I think last year might go down in some sort of folklore in terms of a player managing to play 21 AFL games as a full time midfielder after having such a well documented, problematic off season with very little preseason training/conditioning. He's looking in prime condition already this off season. I think he'll have a monster 2025 and return to a top 10 mid of the comp.

Smart pick by Richmond. Future star
-
We avoided the possible go home factor.
-
Missed out on a Sicily meets Lever type Bummer
-
It will be Lindsay. Langford - Inside mid who can push forward Lindsay - Outside winger who can play outside mid or HB FLEXIBILITY
-
Bo Allan is a Ross Lyon type. Hoping Tauru drops to us now. Will be [censored] off if Richmond get him
-
Totally! You just said he was elite in all areas...
-
Except for speed 🙃
-
I reckon we'll bid on Ashcroft here Then pick Langford obviously
-
What a dream to be picked by the club you grew up supporting
-
They will
-
Come on Carlton take Draper! Then Adelaide pick Langford so we can get JAGGA!!!
-
North took every bit of the 5 mins. Would have been interesting the trades offers that were coming through.
-
jealous
-
Did Bo fly over? Seeing Draper in the house but haven't spotted Bo Allan yet.
-
lol don't think it said anywhere that the actual picks started at 7. Just that draft coverage started at 7pm.
-
Looks like they're going to waffle on a bit longer this year. Last year was around 20 mins in from memory.

I've come around to Lindsay. The keys to why Taylor will likely draft him is based off of what we need and what Taylor looks for. We need players who are more point of attack by foot. Lindsay has the vision and skill execution to be damaging with his disposal. I think this is the key point of difference between him and Travaglia. Taylor likes to draft players like Lindsay who can impact on bigger grounds like the MCG with their run and kicking penetration. I remember in 2019, Taylor mentioned in the draft room when we had just picked Rivers "Kicker/carrier player there, he's an MCG player". I think Windsor fits this bill and I think Lindsay does too. He could even develop into a high HF role down the line if he improves his endurance and pressure. A bit of flexibility there.
