True, but their midfield sh*ts all over ours.

I'd give my left knee to have Martin, Cotchin and Delidio running around in our midfield. Sure beats having to resort to the likes of Bate. No offence to Bate.

They appear good on paper but we will cream them. Moloney is better than all of them .

But they drop away quickly after that, and a lot in the media have been seduced not just KB...as a side issue which one of the 3 would you take. Cotchin is the one for me but I wouldn't throw either of the other 2 back.

Guys,

Face it. We would kill for tiges midfield v ours. But the advatage of being a donut (nothing in the middle) in our case is that we can do something about it (viney + 2 high draft picks).

Tiges have a great midfield (but not much elsewhere except reiwoldt gun and a few others).

I think we are evenly poised now overall but we will be able to rectify our deficiencies eventually and they will find it more difficult.

Terrible waste of a good draft pick.

Agree-you would think Cameron and co.would not make a second mistake in a row,re Miller and now Maric.

very good point that you raise.Maloney in a forward pocket may be a great move.

Like when at MFC, he "did a few good things" last night, but, like when at MFC, not enough.

Wait and see before slashing wrists please.

I love Beamer, but Cotchin is a level above him already, and he's still young. Cotchin is better than anyone on our list at present. Last night he went head to head with Judd and won. Anyone who picks up 27 touches, 8 tackles, 2 goals, while going head to head with a superstar in Judd, and does all that trying to carry a losing team...is a star. I'm hoping Trengove gets to that level. If he does we're in for a treat!

One warm day does not a summer make. Cotchin is not at Beamer's level yet. He may be on the way - but you are listening to too much KB on 1116.

Cotchin reached Moloney's level last year and is about to put the afterburners on.

Yeah right ,

Dont believe the hype on it .Wait till you see our bloke.

I agree. Cotchin went past Beamer some time ago. I dont listen to KB at all

Just saw this and agree wholeheartedly.

Or an indictment on those responsible for coaching and developing young players at the club?

No its a bad draft pick. He has shown zip since he got to MEL. I have seen him in the AFL and VFL and I am puzzled why we spent pick 20 on him,

Even more surprised that Cameron picked up him up again at Richmond after he wasted a good pick at MEL.

Its as bizarre as Ratten and Riley offering a first round pick fro McLean.

Garry Lyon said on MMM "there is always a good reason why you let a player go"

Followed by spud "Yeah him ducking his head and shirking the contest like that must be one"

He is inclined to put in short steps occasionally. He has some good attributes and I thought being delisted was the kick in the bum he needed, but alas it doesn't seem to have, I couldn't see coaches like Neeld or Hardwick being big admirers for very long.

I'd say for pure clearance abilities, Moloney and Cotchin are on par, but Cotchin is a lot classier, a better user of the ball, a better mark, and quicker.

Moloney is grunt, Cotchin is class.

It's like comparing Sam Mitchell and Chris Judd. Both great extractors, but one is a superb finisher.

I must say I disagree on this point .I think he is pretty quick /elusive and he "hates" a goal which makes him a forward .

Did he kick 3 once for us or was I dreaming?

Wrong. Most he's kicked is 2 and it was from the midfield. Will never be a crumbing forward

One relies on Mark Jamar too often and the other hurts teams in the midfield regardless of the rucks and can punish teams when he goes forward.

Cotchin is a mile in front of Moloney.

Is that not what I said?!

Moloney would consistently win more clearances then Cotchin, but he doesn't hurt you like Cotchin does, because he is a pure inside mid, and Cotchin is equally good both inside and outside.

We don't need to degrade Moloney, because he is very good at what he does, and would be in the top 20 or so clearance players in the AFL, but he has serious disposal and foot speed flaws which make him a good player, but not a great player.

Agree. Cotchin is class, Beamer is a bull.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
