I am sorry guys but I am also a supporter of MacDonald. He is a hard at it type and has a good presence. I personally consider that he has more consistency about him than Sellars and we must remember that the other two were first round draft picks.

His turnovers kill me. Will never be a supporter while that continues and it will. Not up to AFL standard. The day he goes will be the day you know MFC are starting to turn into a real AFL team.

    Bartram's retirement has probably saved one of MacDonald/Sellar. I really hope they now sign Jetta.

    I don't really think it was better than any other season, but whatevs. Each to their own.

    I detest the disposal efficiency stat, so I see nothing in that.

    Its a horrible stat - inside midfielders get crueled by it as they are always getting possies in tight and need to dispose quickly and that can impact the number. To me a backman's disposal efficiency ( especially since most teams play the extra man down back) should be better than an inside midfielder.

    good to see these 3 re commit to the club. I think Sellar definitely has his best footy ahead of him as he was gaining momentum and more confidence in his body the more he played.

    Dunn is a good role player and has his games where he stands up really well. Macdonald is a back who we need imo as he is a big body and has the needed experience for the team.

    2pm tomorrow we will know the fate of davis and jetta pre the draft.

    then I believe we can delist again before list lodgement 3 if we want to participate in the PSD so they both will probably be sweating until the 29th of november...

    Agreed.

    IIRC, a kick which misses the target but is later recovered by the target is also effective. It's just mindboggling.

    Pretty much all depth players, Dunn may have a permanent role but Sellar and MacDonald should be stop gaps.

    = I'd rather stick to my subjective opinion and ignore the facts??

    we have pick 3 in the psd so will are likely to use that in preference to a high pick in the national draft.

    well list lodgement two is up.. now If i am right, we are unable to delist any players until after the draft up to list lodgement three (23rd-29th of november.) if we use all four picks 4.49.53 and 70 in the draft we may still see one of davis/jetta delisted to make a spot for pick3 PSD

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
