Why is James Magner on the rookie list?

Absolute friggin joke.

How in the hell does Rodan get a game over Magner. Seriously WTF is going on with this place??

rodan has the leg speed required to be helpful on the offensive and defensive spread which is where we have been really lacking of late.

he can also play as a crumbing forward which means his rotations are beneficial and will probably be involved in a swap with sylvia and tapscott to chop them out and spread the load.

but at the end of the day, a premiership player with over 150 games experience, that is why he was brought to the team, and with both captains being out that is why he is playing ahead of magner

also rodan is not a certain starter yet

    Any news of a rookie upgrade, Magner or Couch to add some muscle? As Neeld mentioned before the game we "were outmuscled" by GCS for goodness sakes at least one of these 2 will close that off.

    For the love of GOD, please upgrade Magner. He will NOT be our savior. Upgrading him will inject something into the virtually non existent midfield. He will give 100% along with ripping the ball out of the pack. And if Magner being slow is his only negative, well he is already up on a majority of the 22 to date.

    However, if he were to be upgraded, please play him when he has been playing in the VFL, no more negative roles.

    Should never be placed back on it - stupidest decision by the football department of 2013

    By christ have we missed a fearless hard-bodied inside mid. We actually had a serviceable midfield yesterday with Jones's and Magner doing the grunt work with Davey feeding off it

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
