Think Tank Mofra's Lazy Bottom 40 for 2025

[Pistol Night]

I’ve never heard of him. Or maybe I thought the commentators were saying “Ah Chee”. But like a lot of commentary that wouldn’t have made sense…

Genuinely staggered this bloke is a 100 gamer. Never heard of him

 

[Jazny]

Essendon' supporters were talking him up as the next big thing a couple of years ago. Now it is Kako and Caddy. In 2 years time it will be pick 5 and 6 from this year. All will be destined for failure

My mummy's boy radar was going crazy when I saw Archie Perkins. If only poor zackah listened to me it would have saved him a lot of false hope.

Didn’t know sex robots were so picky about footy clubs

Welcome to 2025, AI has been trained on the internet.

Even a Roomba would know that Carlton is an embarrassment.

Ouch that’d be a shot to the ego

Iirc cats were in the market for perkins last year or the year before. Would likely have got a first in the exchange

Given the way Geelong trade, were they expecting Essendon to add a 1st round pick as well to take him?

Dani said you shouldn't get too personal when you criticise a footballer as you don't know what they're going through until you're walked a mile in their shows, or at the very least sat outside their house for 17 hours then stared through the window while they sleep.

Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

That way when you do criticise them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes!

In retrospect it would be fair

Player #29 - Jackson Mead

Pictured: Jackson Mead. I think

Jackson Mead, despite what you may think, is notable. He has played 64 AFL games as a father/son pick for Port Adelaide and may just hold the record for the most games of AFL played without getting his own Wikipedia article.

That makes Jackson less popular online than Hundeprutterutchebane, a barely known dog-fart themed roller coaster in Denmark.

Going by Port fans they would probably prefer a dog fart listed in their starting line up. Mead is one of those guys listed as a 'midfielder / forward' but nobody really knows what the hell he does. Kenny picked him 20 times in 2025 and he managed 3 goals in a season, 2 of those against the Hawks in round 5. Mead laid 7 tackles against the kangaroos, after which they promptly applied for a priority pick. Mead gets a dozen or so touches a game, numbers inflated by a 22 handball game against Richmond. He was dropped a couple of times but recalled a couple of times because he presumably has quite a big trapezoid shaped space on Kenny's dartboard.

Mead just somehow keeps getting picked despite being a bit slow for his height, a bit short for his game style, not overly skilled nor does he show a huge footy IQ. He is contracted for next year so it will be interesting to see how many games (if any) he gets in 2026. Perhaps Port are nursing him to 100 games in case there's a npother father/son down the line somehwere.

Fun fact: Jackson's dad Darren was the first Port Adelaide AFL-listed player to make it to 100 games, and won 3 SANFL premierships in 94, 95 & 96. He won Port's B&F in Port's first year in the AFL (97).

Jackson, kudos on your Wikiless career thus far. Welcoem tot he bottom 50 for 2025.

Agree.
My thought process was that Moff had started to include ancient alcoholic drinks supped from a chalice.

A 60-gamer from a side that has finished top 3 in 3 out of the last 5 seasons managing to maintain his anonymity is an impressive accomplishment.

Orazio Fantastia is a former Essendon player who has since been delisted by both Carlton and Port Adelaide, a football CV just begging to be fleshed out with an AFLX appearance.

After his time at Essendon and then being cut by Port, Carlton snapped him up because they decided to top up for some inexplicable reason.
At one point Orazio being signed by Carlton led Kane Cornes to put Carlton firmly in Grand Final contention, and by contention I assume he meant they bought a Brisbane Lions membership solely for the priority access to tickets on the big day.

Orazio's time at Carlton wasn't quite what he hoped. A combination of niggles and Voss' "gameplan" of 'kick it and hope' meant he was okish last year but never really got going this year.
In 2025 he managed 6 games, 7 goals... 6-7 as the kids would say. No cap.

Orazio was involved in one notable incident in his career - Ben Stratton from Hawthorn was suspended after pinching Orazio repeatedly during a game in 2019, presumably yelling "no returns" each time. Fantasia sported a significant number of small bruises on his arm after the game, something 34 former Essendon players had experienced 8 years earlier.

Fun fact: 'Orazio' is a traditional Italian name that means 'keeper of the hour', something Launceston could learn from.

Raz, Razze-Dazzle, good luck for whatever next year holds. Welcome to the Bottom 40 for 2025.
