AFL Player 31: Zach Reid
I said he should be traded 2 years ago but none of you were too keen on the idea. Boy do we need a couple of key defenders. Ones that can play football, not big basketball centres. -

Analysis Why are we s**t?
No 2 metres ++ defenders in that list. Yet the morons in charge of essendon like to stack the backline with them. It's all about being tall for Essendon. -

Unofficial Preview Anzac Day vs Collingwood Sat 25th
Would be nice to see Nguyen on Anzac day since Vietnam vets make up such a large portion of combat veterans. A front 6 of Robey, Caddy, Nguyen, Kako, May & Edwards with Durham and Day Wicks rotating forward sounds good to me. When I think of what the forward line looked like 2 years ago, it's... -

Hot Topic The Rebuild
No. Melbourne is younger and stronger than last year. The inclusion of Pickett has given the pace they needed. But moving on from Petracca, May etc has been like a tonic for them. We didn't have list spots? We brought in a rank second rater aged 29, and refused to let injury prone Ridley go... -

Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XIII
It's hard to say all that we need. Every week we find a different way to get beaten. But I would start with a decent ruckman. We have a ridiculous number of ruck sized players and yet not a single one of them can actually play in the ruck. Crazy stuff 😜. Another couple of good small forwards... -

Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2025 - Picks 9, 10, 13, 37
Yeah that Brisbane team in the grand final was just loaded with big 'stand and mark' forwards. All them big 199 cm gorilla forwards. No wonder Geelong couldn't cope. -

Just don't see him winning contests. Gets a few hand out possessions. Winning contests is what it's all about even for 'outside' players. He just doesn't appeal to me. I never saw a game in which he impressed me. I don't see wow moments. I'm a little staggered that everyone wants him.
