    Turner, JVR and woey id like to see more of next year in the 1s

    Preseason games and even round 1 I’d love to try Turner, May and lever down back. Petty and JVR up forward. Woey in Vineys spot and rotate off half forward.
    Rather give it a crack preseason and round 1 then get to the last few rounds and we’re too scared to try anything else even though something might not be working anyway

    Wonder if these maggots have any idea how many young players career's they are ruining by deliberately giving young players the wrong impression of what is fair and what is not.

    Bit of a sad situation I reckon.

    What on earth. Not a great umpired game but miles off what you’ve suggested

    Pretty decent game by VFL standards. Will be interesting to see if Southport went out too hard.

    Wouldn't mind Weed moving on for other opportunities and we can open up a spot. I know he has a year to run but surely someone would take him. 

    He's just so out of sync going for his marks. Can't seem to time a jump, can't one-grab or out-body smaller  opponents even at this level.

    Need more out of Weid. 6 possessions 1 mark, put down several he should have taken as usual.

    He's rucked very well but still drops marks when he's the only one who gets a clear grab at it.

    Weid has been great in a day where it is pissing down rain in a position he doesn't play, against an opponent with 40kgs on him

    I really like Chandlers game. He is exactly what we need in the HF next year. Love his chase, pace and work ethic. Not the best decision maker - granted - but we need to play him more to rest others throughout the season.

    Agree. 

    Is more balanced. 

    But too slow to pressure effectively or burn off an opponent the way Toby does.

    Chandler is and always has been a midfielder with forward craft more than a forward. He’s an excellent link player through the middle of the ground.

    He’s yet to master clean hands around a contest though to really push his case as a high half forward

    Weed needs Russell Roberston's old man to teach him how to mark.

    I remember Robbo saying he taught him how to mark and it was quite an odd method. But it worked and I'd try anything

    I know I won't be popular for saying this, but Oskar Baker needs to be traded or delisted for 2023..

    Weed simply can'y mark the ball in a contest.  

    Why is Bowey not playing?  (I missed the start)

    Ineligible. Too much afl, not enough VFL

    Because Melbourne are out of the finals. He could only play while we were still in it.

    It's not his ruckwork that's the problem.

    Chandler is just far too good to waste his time at this level. Surely has every right to go elsewhere if we can’t promise him a regular senior game.

    Disagree.

    Sure straight-line running he can't burn an opponent in the way Toby does but he has him covered in about every other facet of the game. And his pressure is fantastic. You watching the game? It's a GF. See that tackle then? lol

    And clean hands? You've lost the plot, he's on another level to the rest in the wet.

    He has been emergency almost all year, Goodwin made minimal changes all year. 

    His form was seemingly irrelevant this year in Goodwin's eyes.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
