A bit of calm is called for...we haven't even had the first bounce yet.......Fitzy is developing nicely...I spoke to him a couple of times, one of the main aims is to get a bit more muscle and strength into him...they are happy with his footy smarts....playing him against Jamar in the Intraclub is all good stuff.....observers noted he got better the longer he was out there.....that is what you want to see....just had a bit of a miserable run with injuries....but these big guys have a lot to get injured....would like to mention Jamar's first few years at the club......watched Fitzy kick a lazy 6 in one game for Casey....he is a good kick for goal....just needs a bit more size about him.....a couple of games as backup to Jamar or Martin will do him no harm at all....not all clubs carry two top class ruckmen into a game these days....sure Neeld would like to test him out

We have other guys who can ruck, Clark, Sellar......Dunn and Sylvia at a pinch...with a third man up......unless the AFL bans that at some stage...........

    Good post Sat, but I will pick you up on one thing, and this goes for anyone who had/has this in their heads. Dunn and/or Syliva should NEVER EVER come in to calculations as far as a pinch hit ruck goes. It is embarassing to see it happen, and I can't really see Neeld allowing it. We want to be treated like a serious team, but will use a midfielder/hff start in the centre ruck? Seriously...

    I agree billy. Im still a bit shattered that Big red was ousted from the 1988 GF and we witnessed our top class Full Back in Danny Frawley go up for the 1st bounce. Hawks were rapt from the get go. Not that Im old and bitter...

    I actually agree, said 'at a pinch' and hoping like hell it won't eventuate, but a bit of left field doesn't hurt now and again....wouldn't like to see it for a few games on the trot though

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
