    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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

      The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

      An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
