Jacko reminds me of Fitzy when he first arrived at the club a few years back, with that massive mop of hair!

    Could these also be their official numbers?

    24 -Kysaiah Pickett

    17 - Luke Jackson

    20 - Trent Rivers

    Almost certainly, although the jumper sizes would also fit very well with JKH, Frost and Maynard. We might operate just like local Footy, you get the number that fits!

    Pickett really is small going by that picture.

    He’s not tall but remember he’s standing between Greg Stanford and Matty Egan.

    no.24 would be so fitting for Pickett as an exciting demon forward. Hopefully adds to the previous highlights of Robbo/Jurrah in that jumper.

    36 would be better, following Flash and Jeffy

    Thanks to those who gave feedback from training today?

    There has been nothing on the Melbourne website. 

    Who ever is in charge of the media at the needs to be shown the door.

    And of course on the afl site the filth and the bogons seem to be the only two teams in the afl?

    Next saty will be saying an interrupted preseason might negatively impact on Tomlinson's season.

    But are they "full time" when they're doing under 50% of preseason?

    Nope if you read the fine print, training times and locations are subject  to change without notice.

    And if you read the next line:

    . Please check this page on the morning of each session to confirm the time and date.

    I’m fine with them not even advertising regular sessions. But if they are going to do it they should get it right. Don’t bother with a members forum with fancy PowerPoints until you master the basics.

    I wonder what the reasoning for that is?

    They finally reviewed that PF and saw what a team can do it it gets an hour's head start. What if WE do that, they thought. Train as you play.

    I know you do. That's ok. Each to their own.

    On Oliver, when 16 of the best 22 players have surgery pre season the best and fairest becomes a little easier to do well in.

    You also have the Players Association and some past players advocating  for a shorter pre season, which is exactly what those interruptees had

    Which is correct?

    So the player's desire for a longer off-season is so that they don't need to call it a surgery interrupted preseason?

    Bit of a Stretch I would've thought.

    That's fine Saty. But last year the *other* clubs didn't have shorter pre-seasons. Though even "shorter" is a misnomer, it was largely non-existent for many, and thus the team as a unit, which more than anywhere else is where we paid the price.

    Astonishing that someone who spends so much time watching training doesn't understand why they do it.

    Imagine what he might have achieved with a full pre-season. Brownlow?

    There's a MASSIVE difference between having a slightly longer break before you begin your proper preseason at full capacity; and having major surgery that means you can't even live your normal healthy lifestyle, let alone do any kind of football or fitness training (which they all do even during non-official training times) before carrying that injury through the rest of preseason as it impacts your preparation; not just for fitness, but for skills, connection with your team mates, learning of game plans and structures and of course new rules that change all of those things from the previous seasons.

    Honestly, what a silly comment.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
