I thought he was fairly serviceable last year. He's no star, but he appears to hold his own down back mostly.  

Was much better in defence than the on the wing that’s for sure.

He’s our best option for 3rd tall defender at the moment but I’m hoping Petty can get over his injuries and take his spot in the team. Tomlinson is a solid citizen but I think Petty’s upside is far greater.

Serviceable, yes. I still see him as a winger opposite Langdon as he finds space that has so far been unseen by panicky players.

I understand that you may not rate Joel, and I remain unconvinced, but please show a little respect for one of our listed players.

spargo and pickett another year and more mature should be improved and provide the small forward players you refer too

Pickett needs help down there. 

I hope Spargo can contribute but he's an odd player. He is very good as a link player from half forward but don't know about his pressure. 

I think we need more than two though. Three good pressure forwards at a minimum.

Ultimately, I 'd like to see a mix that has two talls (B.Brown + one of Weideman, Jackson or TMc), one medium (likely Fritsch) and three quality small forwards (Pickett + two of Spargo, Bedford, Chandler, Laurie, Bowey or Farmer).

Some tough decisions ahead. I really hope our match committee is willing to make them. Three talls forward of the ball is too many, so at least one good player has to miss out. If we try appease everyone, it will be to our detriment.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
