    This would have to be one of the biggest surprise selections of all time.

    Amazing that he is fit enough to step into AFL football after a week!

    Why, we need more run in the side. The 666 will allow more small players in.

    The tall sloths will struggle.

    Named back pocket? 

    I genuinely have no idea where he's been playing at Casey or what kind of attributes he has to offer the side.

    Anyone other than the bearded-one care to shed some light?

    Good article on Jay on his journey the past 18 months.

    Great first goal.   He could be the small forward we desperately need.

    He roughed up and crunched Joel Selwood a couple of times.

    Thats enough for me to deserve another game next week.

    Is Jay now the all-time leader for time in the AFL to fist goal in the AFL?

    Lockhart is about the only thing keeping  me interested at the moment.  Has kicked some lovely goals already.. has great goal sense.  I feel he may snag a couple of bags this season as he gets more comfortable and our mess of gameplan is (hopefully) sorted out.

    If Goody moves him from the forward line I will scream.

    I like this kid, he adds pace and toughness to the side. Just needs to work on his consistency

    Won’t be long before the club sucks the life out of him.

    Why do the supposedly professional organisations known as MFC & AFL still  list him in websites as number 0?

    They're waiting for another  '0',  to become available...  and the number  '7', mono.

    Then he'll be licensed to thrill.

    .

    He may also be waiting for a locker ?  ?

    He’s not used to the speed of the game yet - has been done for holding the ball at least once per game and isn’t in games for long enough. I like his attributes, but in my view it’s unrealised potential with a few cameos per game at this point. Would be developing in the VFL ideally if our first choice flankers in Hannan and AVB weren’t out.

    Has some footy smarts and shows some dynamic manic movement.  Love the attack and instinctive way he takes the game on.  Getting caught is part of the game, no problems with that as long as the awareness evolves over time and it becomes the exception.

    Give him at least 2 to 3 game blocks until he looks like he's ready to take on more.

    We need more of these types but taller, if theyre out there, to add some marking / intercept / spoiling ability, and manic gut running with some initial burst speed.  The marking side critical since losing Hogan, Howe and Lever (till he returns).

    Lockhart should own the vacant small defender role given Jetta is out until round 13-14.  

    He has shown his AFL standard. 

    He played there at Casey last year and shutdown a lot of small forwards.  Has class and pace and knows how to tackle.  Probably gets puopolo this week.

    Thought he was good all day, added something different.

    Previous weeks he has started ok and then faded, but he kept it up for 4 quarters today.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • 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.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
