    Hard runner and worker can fault that

    Would be more in favour if he kicked goals early in the game when he gets a few opportunities seems to miss about 2 goals a geme

    Unreliable goal sence

    Maybe there are currently few better small forward options Needs consistency

    In the Mitch Hannan set of things. Plays well every 5 or so games.

    Kicking for goal improved dramatically late in the season. Went from one of our worst to the most reliable. Go figure.

    He got stitched up for that sling tackle. 2 games was about right 4 was very harsh.

    Had his moments besides but just doesn't get his hands on it enough. Consistency isn't there. I'm ambivalent about whether we keep him or let him go.

    ANB’s goal kicking accuracy was good this year with 7.0 and 64.41 over his entire career which is not too bad at all.

    I wouldn’t be upset if we retain him next year.

    Neal-Bullen is just depth, but good depth in that you know what he is going to deliver most weeks. The retention of Hunt probably doesn't help his cause for a new deal next year, although you'd think he would be looking for more regular opportunities elsewhere.

    I like Alex he works his but off but seems to drop off after half time. He had a brilliant 2018 so we know he has it in him if we get the mix and intensity right. I would be happy for him to stay but also a bit ambivalent if he decides to go back to SA.

    I am ambivalent about Alex.

    I love his work ethic and second efforts, but he remains very inconsistent.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
