    Started to come good about Round 13/14 in the hub last season.

    Realized  he could no longer Just one pace medium and do a funky 25m kick yo be valuable to the team.

    Started impacting game with pace and urgency plus 45/50m lucks That still  found teammates!!!

    Saw it with my own eyes vs GWS when he starred at the Gabba with Langers and Spargo and Rivers on the Members side of the ground  getting us up by 4 pts. In that epic game.

    Ever since has been  A standard and I prefuctedvtjis in my posts pre season as one of our improvements along with Spargsy and Tommo down back.

    Also said that Jacko Kossie and Riv had huge upside in their second year!

    Some had criticised this view but I stood firm on our improvement Which I think has even surpassed my expectations!

    Lets hope it's a permanent standard as we all love the stars shining each week plus the contract signingS of our Mostly A and a couple of B+ graders this season 

    Long may it live well beyond 2021!!!

    I might be in the minority here but I feel like Salem hasn't improved greatly this year - I just feel like he has a better team around him so what he does comes off more / gets noticed.

    I feel like Salem has been doing what he is doing now for years and has been criminally underrated.

    I'm told it's actually a rash that you can get a cream for....

    The only thing that would make this AA22 even better would be to have no pies players and all of Treloar, Stephenson and Phillips in the team

    No you have said this before and  I don't buy one word if it.

    Go to his stats and also see a replay or two and his urgency and impact on our defence and attacking options either ball in hand.

    According to Gerard Healy, Kozzie is the no. 1 , and the no. 2 and no. 3 small forwards have the same name - Daylight!

    Speaking of Kossi, can't believe that he hasn't been nominated for Goal of the Year for his 4 or 5 touch effort against the Roos. Much better than the humdrum 3 they chose

    If TMac can maintain his form then he'll have to be in contention. Other than 1 poor outing (against the Giants i think it was) he's been playing to a very high level all year. It would be some effort if he managed to get selected.

    Disagree. The defensive side of his game has improved greatly. In previous years he was a liability defensively. This year he’s been much better in one on one contests. He’s now able to stop air balls coming in, and then mop up all by himself. It’s a thing of beauty to see his new confidence turning his own defending into attack. In previous years he needed to be fed the ball. Not anymore, and it shows in his stats. Offensively, he’s moving the ball quicker and taking riskier longer kicking options. This is probably the result of playing in a better team and options to kick to though. 

    He’s having an awesome season. I’ve been critical of him in the past, as I though he was capable of more for a player his age, and he’s now producing what we’d all hoped for. He should be All Australian this year. Gun.

    Salem picks himself. Class above this year. Had some $ on him for the Brownlow. Crazily priced at 151-1.

    May very stiff. Killed Buddy, killed Hawkins until Hawkins nearly killed him. Kozzie will be there year end.

    What are the green colours?

    Best coach at the moment is...???

    Goodwin. Nice. 

    how about all those small fwds huh? No one below 6 foot. Insulting to the skill and persistence needed to be a good small fwd. a completely essential role in the AFL. 

    where is KOZZI!!?

    thats right, still no happy 

    It is for this reason I don't care about All Australian teams. It should be a team but instead it is about fitting individuals into 22 spots with little consideration of the role of each position.

    How good would it be if blokes like Charlie Spargo with 6 possessions, but play their role to perfection, made the rolling AA team in a given week because they were the best small forward position player, not because they kick 5 goals or are a star mid that rests forward.

    SEN took Salem out of their team this week lol.   Are they on drugs?

    And how can our historic backline only have one defender?  May, Salem and Lever should all be in

    The decision is even stranger when you see why. They wanted another "key defender" (Harris Andrews) even though the team already had Weitering, Lever and Aliir.

    I must be watching different games imo he has been great ever week and rarely wastes a kick.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
