Small forward?

We need a Betts/Milne/Ballantyne type to sit at the feet of Hogan, Dawes, Watts and Clark and to make our forward line borderline unstoppable

Betts type - No, Milne type - No, Ballintyne type - Yes

    As mentioned Banfield is one that could be looked at by way of a delisted free agent (like how we got Gillies), others who could fill that role and be recruited a similar way as they seem to be out of favour with their clubs are Robin Nahas or Leroy Jetta, both have shown an ability to rotate through the midfield.

    Good suggestions. They would both be suitable and I really like what Nahas did last year. It's surprising that he isn't a regular in their team this year. He is probably the most difficult to get out of the Nahas/Jetta/Banfield bunch.

    Neither have been able to go through the midfiled and it's part reason why they are playing in the 2's.

    As I said to a Richmond mate, they will never win a flag with Nahas and King in the side, like their endevour but they are just not good enough.

    Do we need to select any more players who don't add real value.

    If we're going to target a small crumbing forward in he VFL Chris Michaliades with Sandringham Zebras is the man for us IMO.

    Sadly, Chris Michaliades passed away this week aged 29. He represented the VFL and also played for Port Melbourne.

    Shockingly sad news to hear. He was a talented player. Feel for his family and friends.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
