If you could choose one player from a rival club to add to your AFL list, who would it be?

 
Christian Petracca (3)
 
Clayton Oliver (2)
 
Luke Jackson (1)
 
Max King (3)
 
Jordan De Goey (1)
 
Darcy Moore (1)
 
Aaron Naughton (1)
 
Dustin Martin (1)

"Oliver and Petracca were the only two players nominated who finished in the top 10 of last year’s Brownlow Medal count, with stars such as Carlton’s Charlie Curnow, Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh, the Brisbane Lions’ Lachie Neale, the Bulldogs’ Marcus Bontempelli, Geelong’s Tom Stewart and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw overlooked."

Time to translate that into some wins.

 

Must be a very desparate club if Jordan de goey is the one player you would take. Must be north

..... and they may well reconsider that selection in view of recent events!

Obviously have a vacancy for the organiser of the end of season trip away.  Sure does know all the pitfalls.

In that list with the 2 Melbourne players taken out it would be Max King by a mile.

De Gropey? Hahaha, clearly from the same people who used to nominate Cameron Ling as most attractive player in the AFL back in ‘the day’.

Max King all the way, however I reckon Clarry has been short-changed hard here.

 

I wonder who are in our wish list at the moment, thinking of next season and beyond. Surely a key Full Forward.

Only 1 wanted Jackson, Eagles or Freo?

Yeah, the other one thinks they already have him.

Harry McKay anyone?

I'm assuming "bosses" means Presidents, but who would Kate have chosen from a rival club?

I would think Max King or Aaron Naughton.

 

I think you'll find it was club CEOs. The Age has been drip feeding results of its survey with club CEOs over the last few days.

I'm curious as to why a club CEO would want to add Dustin Martin. Five years ago I suspect he would have been the dominant choice, but now he's too close to the end of what has been a wonderful career.

Anyone else think Clarry is worth 1 Million a year over 7 years for his next contract in 2024?

Yes 

Take the gun tall forward every time. The rarest position to find a gun, yet a gun tall forward can completely change a teams fortunes. Max King is 21 years old and on track for 50+ goals already. Easy decision to pick him and build around him for the next decade.

  • 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.
