Prediction One season too many - Now 2025 Edition

[Generalissimo]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go and take Rhys Stanley back off this list.

His body might not let him play like he did last night every week but a cameo of that every few weeks was well worth the endeavour

Besides, if it's the club begging him to stick around rather than him trying to hang on a year too long, then it doesn't even count IMO.

oh well at least he goes to bed happy every night

This is the "one year too many" thread, not the "five years too many" one.

 

[joe444]

It depends what you ask of them.

Mitch Duncan in the 2024 Prelim Final = one game too many.

Mitch Duncan leading the 2025 VFL team and hanging in there for four more games when required to get to 300? = sure, hang around.

Good on field leadership and coaching from the great man, guiding kids like Repco and Hasslehoff

Oliver on more than Jeff Bezos

 

[craffles]

Viney looked better tonight than last week but still fairly average.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Oliver on more than Jeff Bezos

It's actually heinous. Melbourne need a good lawyer to get out of this

He’d still get 3 votes at his cremation

all cooked

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Epic fail

Correct - what a year he’s having so far

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Rumours of Dangerfield's demise were greatly exaggerated.

 

[janty]

I thought Johannisen had retired ages ago tbh.

His partner who cheated on him with Stringer was on Australian Survivor this year.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Hamling, with a bullet.

If he scrapes his way to five more games this year and 100 career AFL games, it would have to be one of the weirdest 100s ever.

Drafted by Geelong in 2011. Moved on without (to my recollection) ever coming close to making his debut. Picked up by the Dogs, finally cracking it for his first game and some regular AFL footy in season four. Became a key pillar in the Dogs 2016 premiership win. Moved home to Fremantle right as they were becoming a non-factor and played solid football there for a few years. Disappeared off the planet around the COVID seasons. Joined Sydney in 2024, making his debut for them this year. 14 seasons, seven of which he played fewer than five games, six seasons where he's played 0-1 game, only three seasons (all with Freo) where he played more than 12.

I saw him play our VFL last season at the SCG at FF and kicked a bag. Odd career.

 

[budge27]

I saw Hamling running around for Peel in the WAFL a couple of years ago and thought gees is this bloke still playing? He’s like a cockroach doesn’t know how to give up. Credit if he gets to 100 games not many AFL players achieve that feat.
