I'd go along with both those statements and I certainly was aware that Brisbane had some pretty fair forwards.  Main point I was making is that a dominant midfeild can make a good, forward line look like superstars.  

Brown was a genuine superstar, but I'm not sure Lynch and Bradshaw were absolute world beaters.   Hopefully if we look back retrospectively and our forwardline of McDonald, Weid, Pruess/Gawn and Trac/Melksham are held in similar regards. ...although if they have multiple premiership medalians I don't really think anyone will really care so much what anyone thinks of them as individual players.

Lynch and to a lesser extent Bradshaw were guns

    Lewis no way will Hunt get a game ahead of Lewis. Guthrie hates Lewis. Got to be extremely doubtful that Joel.Smith will get a game ahead of Hannan and Vandenberg.

    On paper it's probably about 7th.

    ANB, Spargo and Weideman aren't names you would associate with dominant forward lines, on paper at least. And Petracca's an inconsistent player.

    That being said, if Weideman can kick 35-40 goals and takes up the Hogan slack, then we're laughing.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
