Terlich - others were preferred

Max King - little is known

 

Entertaining as always 

 I think a bit harsh on Stretch, only his 2nd year and is still 19. Shows great poise, speed and decision making and is a big part of our future.

Hogan had some poor games but I think it's more because we rely much less on him. Not to mention he's in his 2nd season and is only 21.

Again harsh on Dom Tyson. Judged harshly throughout and his final 12 weeks were elite

Otherwise spot on. Great work this year Joeboy :)

 

excellent review,

Did think Stretch was better than you implied, "skilled outside player". Dom Tyson had a good season, but I agree he needs to hit more targets. Vince was great until the last 4-5 weeks, but those were awful.


3 - word - player

- Favourite weekly thread

- Generally pretty right

- Dont always agree

- Hard on Tyson

- Hard on Stretch

- Thanks very much 

Thanks Joeboy for your contributions. Of course I didn't always agree but your three worders were always a post that I was quick to read and ponder.

I think young Wagner will make a big step next year. He impressed in many games.  He and Hunt could form a very attacking halfback line. Jayden Hunt was a sensation and excited us all with his attack on the ball and his extreme pace. I still maintain that he will be  Don Williams all over again. And what a player Donny was.

People like you kill the generally good vibe on this site. I was only cracking a light gag and you decided to turn the conversation toxic. I'm not sure why you felt the need to do that.

About the only ones I'd dispute. IMO
Newton 2 (2 games - one poor, one OK),
Michie 3 (4 games incl 3 poor),
Weiderman 3
VDB 6.5

BTW if Viv is delisted, as I suspect, I hope he gets picked up by another club. A friend who knows him says he's a ripping young bloke, shy beyond belief.

  • 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.
