Who is our centre half forward? I have noticed different players in this position over the last 2 games and think it’s a problem .

    Need to try Petty there next season ... for a prolonged period. And give JVR  a run on the forward line. Current options aren't up to it. (Fritsch not a key forward. Great player though.)

    Hit the nail on the head Dingo that is what we are lacking a tough mobile CHF with good hands and can kick straight,  cost us two finals in a row.

    Whoever would’ve thought, at the end of 2020, that TMac would’ve been so crucial to our team? He is exactly what you outline above and when in a forward line with BBB and Fritsch, stretches any defence wide open.

    Yeah we need a centre half forward. Even when it was the bears I knew it was the centre half forward.

    When we reflect on the season, I suspect the loss of McDonald will be a significant factor in our issues forward of center in the second half of the year.

    Even when he’s not on top of his game, his presence, endurance and movement are so important to our structure.

    • 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.
