I really just want Collingwood to be forced to eat this for another year or two at least.

    Did Naughton start as a back? I can't remember if WB started him in the backline and then out of necessity he was moved forward.

    Yes, he was recruited as a Centre Halfback. Luke played him forward as at the time they lacked a marking target. Given the backline is suspect I am surprised he hasn't been moved back but then they haven't had many marking targets until now

    Gee 10 games? 

    I guess it still beats 10 games of having nothing.

    Yup 10 games, he doesn't travel, and it gives JVR good access to develop too.  

    it's all a pipe dream but it could work if he wanted another medal.  i think he is happily retired though

    Cal Twomey saying not to rule out Melbourne yet as a destination for Karl Amon.

    Langdon and Amon on either wing would be awesome....Really rate him, elite field kick, has pace and skills, works really hard both ways.

    Amon is exactly what we need, Jordan is a really good role player on the wing, but i actually think we're missing his hands inside, and Amons speed and kicking combination is something we really lack.

    I really hope Heppell considers the gold coast offer. I can't see him leaving but god it would set back Essendon & I reckon there supporters would be filthy.

    I can see clubs chasing Tomlinson and Bedford . Personally we have a lot of small forwards , one player will go. Tomlinson is finding it hard to break into the back six , ideally we should have tried him as a forward. BB and Weid are not up to it .

    On the subject of Naughton will cost too much and he lacks consistency.

    Exactly, Ed and Amon on either wing would be an incredible threat. Gives us more ability to hurt opposition by foot.

    I thought Amon was a turnover merchant?

    At 47.28 how consistent do you want?  6th in the Coleman and better than Fritta.  And he is only 22.

    The boy can leap at the footy I'll give him that. 

    If he is gettable we should have a go, but I don't think he is a better forward than Fritta.

    Regardless of who is better (Naughton by a long way), two of them is better than one.

    Is Naughton any chance of leaving the Dogs??

    I would think it is low.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
