he clearly pulled out of a marking contest in the middle of the ground, last qtr, as we cleared from defence.. it was a bad kick to him, but had he kept pushing at full speed he would have marked it just as the GC bloke got there, instead he reduced his speed for the last metre or so and just got one hand on it, did not want to take the hit clear as day

    him and Bail are both terrible and would not get a game at any other club

    That was a disgusting effort. He was in the box seat to take that mark. That sealed his fate in my mind.

    Not worthy of a place on this list. This is another example of poor judgement by Neeld.

    I agree he's not worth it, but how exactly is that Neeld's fault?

    1. Fumbles as always

    2. Clear soft effort in the last quarter

    3. Horrible disposal - Kent centred it to him nicely at one stage and he ran free through the middle of the ground and kicked it way past Howe

    4. Can't defend to save himself. Despite all the speed in the world he gets turned around time and time again.

    No doubt he has fitness and speed to find the ball but if you can't defend or kick it's not worth it. Neeld realised this when he arrived at the club and trialled him forward. It's about time they go back to that plan because he couldn't be worse than Bail.

    Yeah not exactly Neeld's fault but why play him if blind freddy can tell he'll never make it. Clisby looks a nice type for Casey could've got him on the main list maybe. But Jetta was available to play today and he does a lot of things Nicholson doesn't. Might not run as hard but that's about it.

    To be honest, who on here rated Nicholson as a defender? He doesn't seem to have a feel for football, just another BP 'special'.

    Why the current FD rate him as a defender above Jetta, I'll never know. At least Jetta is a footballer, not an athlete!

    agreed. Nicho heard footsteps and shirked the contest.

    delist ...

    • 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.
