Ben Mckinley

We should seriously look at Ben Mckinley. Was a leading goal kicker at the eagles until Lecras found his feet. Struggled this year at North because of Petrie, but would be a nice fit in our forward line starved of opportunites??

HF: Howe , Watts, Sylvia

F: Jurrah, Mckinley, Petterd...... doesn't look too bad

 

Another mid-sized forward, yep, just what we need!!

This dude's name springs up this time every year on Demonland.

Agree with brocky we don't need another mid-sized forward we already have plenty that offer far more than McKinley ever will see Howe, Petterd, Sylvia, Green.

 

we've got a player already on our list who plays a similar role to McKinley, only they will end 4x the layer McKinley ever will and will play in many more positions. That man is Jeremy Howe.

Fevola sounds better to me.

 

B Grader at best.

No way.

Wow, some contradictions in here. Struggled because of Petrie? What, a tall marking fwd? were there no crumbs to feed off? We would kill to have a Petrie that our crumbers could feed off.

And this, our fwd line is starved of opportunities - great. Get McKinley so he wouldn't have any opportunities at the Dees.

PLease engage brain before typing.

Surely thats why we drafted COOK! He's the bloke who should be FF/CHF moving forward, not some B grader trying his luck at a third club.


Some really intelligent player assessments here.

Some mothers do have em!


I don't think it was 200cm Petrie keeping 185cm McKinley out of the Roos team. More like Aaron Edwards. I don't think that's a great formline.

He's a beautiful kick for goal, but not much else I think. As others have said, we have several other players who play a similar role to McKinley far better than him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
