Terrific game:  20 poss @ 7% eff, 9 marks, 8 rebound 50's and plenty of pressure with 3 tackles and 6 1%. 

Plays a similar rebound role to Hibberd and while it is early days he seems the one most likely to understudy and eventually, to replace Hibberd. 

In the meantime, he is a very handy back up for when Hibberd or Jetta are unavailable.

Hore can absolutely be the new Hibberd when that time eventuates.

 

Looks ready made. Looked a little lost previous games but showed a lot last night. Doesn’t blink and back his judgement to good effect.

My thoughts exactly. Whilst not as hard hitting as hibbo, does have the run and carry and is better aerially. I’d be happy for hibbo to rest for a week or two to get his fitness back and allow hore to establish himself further in the role.

Please tell me that's a typo, Luci!

LOL!  How silly of me!

Should be 75% eff!

looks a natural footballer to me and I see a lot of potential in him. thought against Port he had good awareness despite being a bit off the higher pace.

 

looks a good footballer and was easily our most assured backman last night.

 

Given Werridee's comment on Hore last week in his VFL game summary that "HORE - Worst player in the league" - and he was referring to  the VFL league - I felt i must be watching a different player last night, but he really stood up and played an impressive game.  

To be kind, perhaps Werridee got his players mixed up last weekend.

More likely explanation is that it was just a rubbish post.

Hore was pretty ordinary against Box Hill. So i am very impressed he turned it around against Sydney. I thought when he was named to replace Jetta last night i was bloody worried.. but i knew at the same time we had no one else. 

Must back up that performance for next week.

Dont take notice of Werridee, the bloke is clueless. He thought after that game that Petty was a complete dud and wont make it at AFL level.

So glad he played a good game. Was worried by his form at the start of the football year, but perhaps that was because the whole team was 'off'. Spoke to him at the family day. Very nice young man. Hope he keeps improving and enjoys a good career at Melbourne.

  • 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.
