    On a similar topic, should we recruit Newton in the rookie draft?

    I am not in a position to make an expert judgement on this, but Freeman does appear to have a lot going for him particularly in relation to our needs eg pace, endurance and his line breaking ability, in addition to his ready to go mature body.

    What is the case to choose Christian Salem over him?

    Just viewed Christian's highlight package on the MFC official site and was most impressed with his confidence and precision left foot kicking reminiscent of the young Ooze .

    I would normally just like this comment - but the function has mysteriously disappeared,

    So i'll say this instead:

    Gold.

    Well done Deestroy All.

    We don't know who we should have taken for a few years. Same goes for Toumpas and Wines.

    I like the fact that he is confident, knows how to get the footy, has got good skills, and loves to tackle. All he has to do is back himself at AFL level and fill out a bit.

    Roos' track record for making the right calls maybe >>>>>>>> yours?

    One has a laser boot the other doesn't. One loves the defensive stuff like tackling the other not so much.

    Picking Salem breaks our usual mould of picking someone with iffy disposal and defensive skills.

    Freeman cant kick, Salem is an elite kick, and runs all day.

    People are seriously overacting the Freeman Kicking issue a bit..

    I know we've been burnt on the skinny kids recently, but the game is not called biceps.

    Give the kids a chance!!

    Roos didn't pick kids for round 1 2014... They will need to smash the door down to get in the team in 2014.

    I like our selections.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
