I love this kid.
I would hope the Dees are into him big time. Best mates with BlakeHowes and have been since primary school so I hold onto that at least..
I have no issue with Mumford leaving. He saw an opportunity and he took it. Life is too short not to take advantage of these types of opportunities when they are presented. Good luck to him for that.
I do have an issue with the way he left and don’t understand why he felt the need to make up...
Agree with his analysis but find it hard to be as optimistic as he is.
So long as the oligarchs provide bread & circuses in the form of performative cruelty to their chosen “other” people largely don’t care enough to inform themselves.
Beyond that I believe we’re in the collapse stage of...
Completely agree with you, that was my starting point in the thread with Hinkley29.
He would have been mad not to go. With Jolly gone from Sydney, he immediately became first choice, had a good salary, and in other words had every chance to cement an AFL career.
We also weren't to know that...
To be fair Mumford was offered huge $ and a starting spot at a decent club plus he saw how the club was about to push out a former captain in King to keep Blake happy and he probably figured he would be last choice of the rucks behind Blake too. He wasn't to know that 12 months later the afl...
Just on the BS excuse for leaving has Leif Colbert ever disclosed his reasons for leaving?
I remember when he left he said in time he would explain the rationale but I.must have missed this
It was a pretty pivotal time for the club. Debt mounting and both coach and captain fleeing
Blake nor prismall never made up a BS excuse for why they left the club.
all Mumford had to do was be honest, but he didn’t want to deal with the issue head on. Kind of like how he was rarely if ever physical on a field unless he was blindsiding someone or had a 15+ kg weight advantage (or...
I think we’ll improve significantly this year, to the tune of about 4 goals a game. Not sure how that would come in terms of more goals for and less goals against, but if it’s split evenly it would be:
23 games x 4 goals x 6 pts pg = 552 / 2 = 276 up / down
2024 For + 276 = 1,895
2024 Against...

...but he has experience playing midfield and forward roles as well which I will utilise to my advantage. His youth will be great for our team as he grows to become a superstar amongst the best players in the league.
I have chosen to draft:
BlakeHowes from the Melbourne Football Club.

My team is actually stacking up incredibly nicely compared to how I thought it would look.

something i thought was of interest was the 2026 Tasmanian group and how strong they are, i thought Brisbane and Tasmania were the strongest teams in the u16s div 2 which doesnt always translate to draft year form or potential, but it is a good sign, the new Tassie team could draft half a dozen...
It'll be time to get ruthless.
It should be a time that we get ready to miss drafts after 2025 mostly as the Tassie team takes a strong-hold on the Draft board.
#Must keep'rs...
My God these Carlton supporters are precious...
How dare anyone regard George Hewett as a C Grader!
A Graders for Collingwood are N. Daicos, D. Houston, D. Moore (at his best) and J. De Goey (at his best). Moore and De Goey weren't at their best in 2024.
A B Grader would be someone like Tom...
I'm thinking a) this is impossible and b) FIVE???? WTF?
So I'm going to do two lists:
List 1: 5 players who I think will surpass themselves in a big way this season
-------------
Cam McKenzie: time to show he is elite, too good for VFL and should be a lock
Sam Frost: freed up to be a tall...
Love Karaka , and just got my invite to the NZB cocktail party at Ellerslie Karaka Million night.
They put on a fantastic marquee that night.
Shame you’re not going , would love to have a beer or champagne with you. Next year ??.
You just seem to be that type of breeding Nut I enjoy talking to 😀
You no doubt know, but back in the day those sales used to be at Trentham during cup week.
As a young fella, I have many fond memories of those days at Trentham at that time of year. Was a helluva float trip getting there from Auckland but all quickly forgotten as the sales and races got...
How do you have Cooper Hodge as a name to watch?
Caylen Murray is right up there with Owen as our two best prospects.
Hodge appears to get a lot more recognition because of his name.
Geez delistings will be easy in 10 months time. Billings/Fullarton a lock to go, Spargo/Howes/Woewodin/TMac/Campbell/Melksham playing for their careers.
