For some reason I like a forward line of JVR, Schache or Petty, Fritter, Kossie and support cast with Max and Trac visiting on occasion.

    I'm noticing a few posters are starting to exclude Ben Brown from our projected 2023 forward line.

    Would love BBB and TMac in there but knees and feet seem important parts when playing footy.

    Jeesus.. go and have a look at Schwarz's highlights reel before he was Ox...if he's that good then they should sack the whole FD right ..NOW for not playing him already. 

    It must be the silly season?

    Of course you may be correct,which will be exciting...

    Better than that Ruski ballet dancer guy?

    I agree

    his highlight reel isn’t getting me high

    hopefully I can’t get a better buzz in 23

    The difference with young players at MFC is there is no need to rush.these days

    Earn your spot and try and keep it, Bowey being the perfect example of trying to keep it

    JVR will have all the incumbent medium and tall forwards looking over their shoulder, a good thing for the team

    Nice Instagram post of a fit Tommy Mc running around his local track at Edenhope

    On other young players my tip is keep an eye on both Taj W, who improved week to week and Blake Howes, was close before injury.

    If everyone stays fit, we finally have cover all across the ground

    Have high hopes for Woey. Look forward to how his pre season goes.

    Tmac is the glue which makes our forward line tick between the talls and smalls.

    With the recent loss of Jackson returning to his home state of WA, I was worried JVR may follow suit in the coming years.

    If BBB plays like he did in the final third of the season then he should never play again in the red and blue.

    Moved like the mechano man in cement and had Chris Dawes concrete hands.

    Frankly unless they learn to kick it to BBB on a lead all he can do is " his best" with what he's got.

    On a lead and with his inspector gadget arms he's almost a weapon. Certainly that's  a change up from the dumb predictable bomb to the forward pocket boundary line. 

    Making him play against his strengths is like Neeld trying  to make Liam Jurrah into Byron Pickett.

    Hopefully both he and TMac have another season in them and a flag to go with it

    10-12 games played and goal a game average would be a satisfactory output for his for season in the seniors. anything more would be a bonus.

    Even if he can just get one out he's a chance to mark with his reach instead of flying against 2 or 3 opponents.

    • 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.
