(And I swear I read earlier that someone thinks he is soft and not a good defender?? Madness.)

What was Leigh Matthews doing on here? Was he confused with Trav or stung by that trade? Seriously, soft????!!!!

This guy is star and will be a super star!

    Paraphrasing. And incorrectly it seems.

    I was referring to the garbage in the OP.

    It's still garbage nonetheless.

    If we both stick to what we do best, I'll only ever work in fashion and you'll only ever make an arse of yourself... and what would be the fun in that?

    If you work in fashion, how about assisting the club in making some decent Demon gear?? What they put out is crud.

    No one can question Jack Grimes' endeavour, it is right up their with Moloney's (probably greater). 70% of the time Grimes' disposal is top shelf, producing fantastic bullet-like kicks that are a joy to watch. It's the other 30% where his disposal comes undone. At times it is deplorable and costly turnovers result, given he's usually in the backline trying to set up the play going forward. It is this 30% that makes him seem slow and he is also unaccountable at times, but then he wouldn't be a Melbourne player if he wasn't. Let's not forget that it's only his 25th game or so, improvement is inevitable at such an early stage. Hopefully with this, he will raise his quality of disposal up to 90%. His turnovers will always be highlighted, as he is the one creating the play.

    As for him becoming captain, he's still way too young. I've been a massive critic of Junior in previous seasons, but if he wants to continue on next season, he still deserves the captaincy. If not, give it to Moloney for a year or 2, then we will see how good Grimes goes.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
