    I wonder what his skills will be like.

    Generally basketballer's are fairly skilled so hopefully he is a good set shot and possibly play in the forward line with Hoges.

    Anybody who is about 1.93 metres and can run sub 2.80 seconds for 20 metres is seriously fast.

    He would have decent peripheral vision, fitness, and adherence to strict instruction to play at a high level of Bball, but that's about all you can read into it as far as how he adapts to footy.

    Most bball players I have come across that move into footy are all over the talent spectrum but they all really buy into the structures - makes sense to them coming from bball.

    We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

    It's the day for it. We're just now getting in touch with Marty McFly to get his signature for next season, last season, and 1987.

    I'm still amazed by the Geelong recruitment of Mark Blicavs in similar fashion and how much he evolved.

    Would love for Smith to become our Blicavs.

    So, what are the rules for a Category B Rookie? Does he need to be upgraded like any other rookie if he is to play? For the purpose of playing list numbers, does he take one of the rookie spots? How many years can he stay on the list as a Category B Rookie?

    Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement.

    Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period.

    Wow!

    I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities.

    The drums are sounding and it feels great.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • 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.
