    I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

    Not sure his earnt his chance? Hasn't kicked a goal in his past 2 VFL games and only had 9 disposal last week and was barely sighted.

    And Weideman is a high half forward, but you seem to have no problem with him being a Full Forward in the AFL side. 

    Is this your thing now? Trying to troll me by misrepresenting things I've said?

    Here's some facts for you slugger.

    Hahhaha. As opposed to facepalm emojing everyone’s posts and not really want to engage in constructive debate. I’m still waiting on the lesson on social media business marketing ??

    Bowey could come in if the Match Committee decided to persist with Hunt in the forward line in Pickett's place. 

    Not sure the Hunt forward experiment was a winner on the weekend tbh. I would think he goes back again this week IMO.

    Hunt’s the most accurate set shot for goal at the club.

    He should stay forward and BBB and Melksham should come in to sort out our disastrous set shots for goal that have plagued us for most of the year.

    Reckon his sample size is a bit small to be saying he's the best set shot, and his lack of awareness against GWS when forward will mean he'll go back to where he's found his niche IMO. I'm not totally against the idea, just for mine it doesn't seem that likely.

    Definitely keen on Brown and Melksham coming in, but might not make a huge difference if we keep going slow around the boundary. That's the main tweak needed for me, centre clearances will help that potentially too.

    What 3 forwards do you have coming out to have all of Hunt, Brown and Melksham in there?

    According to the stats I can find on Stats Insider, that's not actually correct. Not even in our top 5.

    Stats Insider has data on all set shots from Round 1 2018 to Round 6 2021. I've gone through and here are all the players on our list who have a set shot accuracy of at least 50% (minimum 10 shots in the time period):

    1. Daw - 71% (14 set shots)
    2. TMac - 63% (104 shots)
    3. Jones - 63% (19 shots)
    4. B Brown - 61% (178 shots)
    5. M Brown - 60% (52 shots)
    6. ANB - 59% (32 shots)
    7. Hunt - 57% (35 shots)
    8. Weideman - 56% (55 shots)
    9. Petty - 55% (11 shots)
    10. Gawn - 52% (42 shots)
    11. Fritsch - 51% (92 shots)
    12. Melksham - 51% (65 shots)
    13. Tomlinson - 50% (18 shots)

    And then below 50%:

    1. Brayshaw - 48% (27 set shots)
    2. Spargo - 44% (18 shots)
    3. Petracca - 42% (60 shots)
    4. Harmes - 41% (29 shots)
    5. Langdon - 36% (28 shots)
    6. Viney - 36% (11 shots)
    7. Pickett - 36% (14 shots)
    8. Oliver - 24% (25 shots)

     Oliver, Pickett and Petracca kill us..Wow its like our whole midfield can't kick. Gawn is better than the lot of them

     

    I thought Spargo was better than that. Didn't he kick 8g 1b last year?

    But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year.

    We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.

    Spargo's 60% from snaps but only 44% from set shots. And the data does go back to 2018.

    But you're right, last year he kicked 8.1, with the only miss being a set shot.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
