Small forward, 29 year old that knows the system - I'm not sure....any thoughts?

why was he squeezed out at the Filth? Neeld would know. That said he was ok at the Filth for a while.

    Huh? Squeezed out?

  • Quote

    Did Mark Neeld say that Melbourne are going to go after seasoned players in the draft, rather than speculate on youngsters? Not saying that I would draft Medhurst, but he semi-fits that profile. Bit old, maybe, hasn't played AFL for a while, but if he nominates I am sure we would look at him. (Before rejecting him.)

    Bit unfair. Crumbing forwards are paid to be selfish. They stand or fall on their scoring ability

    Oh well - 29 yo crumbing forward who knows the system, expectations, etc etc. I've seen him play some ripper games.

    There are no decent alternatives out there, unless the FD sees Jetta fulfilling that role.

    He has officially nominated for the draft. You wouldn't think he would nominate unless he has been in some talks with a club.

    True - but I remember Yze, Robbo and White doing the same thing........

    Medhurst is not one.

    I don't mind him.

    You might not mind him but he is not a small crumbing forward.

    What is he then?

    Correct.... he is a leading forward. Smart footballer - and a good kick - but has never stood front and square ready to dive in and under in his life.

    Not an option for us.

    He'll fit in perfectly then :)

    You,ve got to be joking 29 and past it Maric had more to offer

    Read Hoopla's post 19, he has summed it up. He was a good mark for his size and got nearly all his goals from marks.

  • Quote

    Brad Dick is a more of a small forward than Medhurst. But he is keen to go back to Perth.

    Although I have heard that refrain before...

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      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.
