    7 players over 200cm, 5 over 195 and 6 over 190 (incudes Kye Turner).    Nearly half the list.  Is it the tallest team we've had? Includes 6 of the 8 we drafted.

    Realistically though, BBB has 1-2 years left and Max probably 2-4, so that’s 2 gone in a few years. Schache might last the same as BBB, or maybe Max, so that’s another.

    But yes, it would have to be one of, if not the tallest list we have had.

    At 25yrs old he could also be around for a while if he can stay fit and healthy. Even if that means he is playing at Casey for the majority of the time.

    I’m going to take it that the players either trained early or alternatively, didn’t train at all in order to watch that Superbowl nonsense.

    New guy or gal appears to have their training wheels on (big shoes after Gibbo to fill in) Most shots were rather static rather than action freeze motion. Exceptions were two fabulous portraits of Harry and Will no doubt Megan and Kate will be impressed.

    I flew in this morning from the Central Gippsland wetlands to Casey,  to check out MFC training,  for the first time since Grand Final week 2000,  and maybe even to give a report.

    Perhaps the fact that I was obviously the only observer,  for several hours,  should have been a dead giveaway,  but a genial Richo enlightened me.  ''How did you get in,  don't you know it's a closed session,  and do you work for a club?"

    ''Mate'', I say, ''Richo,''' I say, ''I'm   just a retired schoolteacher with too much time on my hands!'' ''No worries'',says a grinning Richo.

    Anyhow,  I'd love to give a scintillatingly informative report, but [1]. it would probably all be redacted, and [2]. duck season is imminent.

    Hnnmm Must be a common thread being retired with too much time on our hands. But PLEASE given Im generally the only one venturing out to Casey, I would love a penny for your thoughts!??

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
