Inside mid has great vision and loves kicking the ball low and flat to clear it out of packs. Decent size his body is probably ready, maybe only question would be leg speed at afl level bit hard to tell as all his balls are won in close. 21 second half posessions today easily his best game, he read both Ruckman really well when they took over in the second half. Will they give gone a game against the saints? He'd be more comfortable than billy was but perhaps patience and a couple more games of that standard would give selectors no choice. Very impressive game

    well given he has an hyphenated name i'd say his decision making is suspect, so he should fit in nicely :lol::lol:

    Have you cracked my password again dc?

    For the kid to get 34 disposals at this level is outstanding. I think Jimmy Magner got more than 50 touches in his final year but that was against the now defunct Bendigo Gold in a 100 point plus whipping *

    For those who don't know about him, he's one of those hard nosed midfield extractors who goes well at the clearances. He might come in handy when he's ready (which shouldn't be too far off).

    * yes, I know I'm setting myself up for a comeback from BBO :)

    Typical bloody lawyer.

    Quick, nobody say he 'will be elite' or will be a 'future star/captain''!

    We ain't ruining another one.

    I never said that Song so I won't on this occasion but you are right a certain kiss of death.

    Just ahead of rising star nominations

    Great summary mate. Sums him up to a T. The kid loves to compete, has a great tank for his age and goes all day. He'll bleed for us out there.

    No but you'd ban me for my best shot.

    this kid seems to improve with each game

    can't be development, so maybe we are finally recruiting some self starters

    O mac was terrific down back. And although they didn't have a heap of it, stretch and Harmes looked very calm and composed when they did have the opportunity. A few questionable umpiring decisions but it was a great game.

    It's not only that but there's no pressure to squeeze these young up and comers into the senior team immediately which is a result of our recruiting more mature aged players who have had first dibs at team selection so far this year. I'm expecting ANB to get two or three games very soon in the same way that Stretch got a couple of runs a few weeks ago.

    Whatever the case, things are looking up for our midfield ... and then there's Petracca.

    Pretty good summation. Not super quick, but has excellent endurance, will get to plenty of contests and will extract more than his fair share. Value pick in the 40's, could have gone 20 spots higher.

    ANB, the bloke I know nothing about who seems to be getting better every game.

    Someone tell me about him please.

    He's good mates with Stretch and was thought to be a good selection by Melbourne, when we picked him #40.

    Looking forward to seeing ABN soon. Won't be long before he gets a senior game I reckon.

    Tyson in next week. Hallelujah!

    • 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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
