Big men take time to develop. Not saying he'll get there but you can't make a call on a big man when he's 19.

    King can take a contested mark at 19. He has great hands below his knees for a big man and above average skills. Anyone writing Kingy off at this stage of his development obviously hasn't seen him play or has any understanding of how big who are slight progress.

    round 5.

    Max King: He kicked four goals in the Development League. He took 10 marks and he played the best game of his life. He probably kicked one of the goals of the year and took one of the marks of the year. Maxy’s heading in the right direction and we’re really happy with his past month. He’s going to put himself into senior VFL selection this week, which is exciting.

    round 4

    Max King: Max continues to improve. He kicked three goals and had another strong game from a marking point of view. We rate Kingy and we’re grading him a little bit harder, because he’s playing against more developing bodies in this league. His past two or three weeks have shown really good improvement. I don’t think an opportunity is too far around the corner for senior VFL selection.

    True....it's the development league, the thirds..can he get a game in the VFL now, where he will be competing against some better defenders.....

    King well be retained. He will pay some VFL seniors this year and will then pay all of next year there.

    If he played seniors this week he would be the third ruck behind Jamar and Gawn. Better he gets a full game.

    If Spencer is still on our list after all this time, then King deserves at least 20 years to prove himself.

    its the MFC way. Throw enormous money and time at spuds in hope one sprouts.

    Me..id give King a few games and see where his talent falls.appraise....then assess.

    This is another nothing year lets learn what ee can about the list then be merciless.

    If King can play like this consistently in the Casey firsts then we can be excited. Not sure why we need to be at half mast about a few goals in the VFL seconds though.

  • Quote

    This would be King's second year on the rookie list. Isn't there a maximum of 3 years a player can remain on the rookie list? If this is the case (can't recall the rule so it might not be) then king really only has another season to show he has got what it takes to advance. Looks promising but there is a heap of time and development to go with him.

    Mitch White just snuck forward and drilled a goal from 45m out.

    Good to see White, Neal-Bullen and Michie getting a lot of touches...(13, 12 and 10 respectively)

    Neal-Bullen is the sort of kid who could play straight away. He's physically more advanced than his mate, Billy. He won't set the world on fire but he'll pay his way. A 150 gamer assured.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
