Chander can hit the scoreboard, but needs to work on his defensive craft considerably in the off season.

He had a bit of a up and down year, but its also his first year of consistent senior football. So perhaps a dip understandable. 

In 2019 he played in the last game of the season and was a tackling beast that game.
In 2020 he was consigned to the VFL/COVID 
In 2021 he was sub for 5 games making it onto the ground once.
In 2022 he was sub 4 times making it onto the ground 3 times.

So quite a jump playing 23 games this season, plenty to build on. 3rd at the club for goal assists, 5th at the club for goals, 9th for tackles etc. Fully agree he dipped a little at times but also hard to judge the forwards when the forward line rotated as much as it did (due to injuries or what not), a lack of cohesion didn't help. 

I like both Spargo and Chandler, yes they have things to work on don't really want to fob either of them off 

But as stated above, who knows what the greater plan is for drafts/trading etc.

Fixing error, robbed him of a spot for tackles

    Personally I don’t rate Chandler. Spargo offers footy smarts, something this side lacks going into 50. I’d keep both, play Spargo in the AFL and let Chandler and AMW battle it out for a spot.

    I reckon there should be pressure on both their spots and I'm happy if Charlie moves on. Chandler in the VFL for mine, until he is more consistent.

    I get the feeling the comparison here should be between Spargo and the incoming McAdam not Chandler.

    Spargo is smart enough to understand this which is why he is looking elsewhere 

    No they don't. You can't see that?

    Presumably because we are looking to trade pick 5 for an established player?

    Was thinking this the other day…

    Liam Ryan would be a good get 

    Putting his previous off field issues and current injury issues aside, I’m in total agreement.

    Absolute pure football talent is Liam Ryan and can actually kick the prune.

    However I can’t see him wanting to move and I can’t see why WC would want to move one of their rare forward talents

    No I don’t see us moving on PK5, I think we still want to move UP.. but without getting into the realm of where I’m risking my job, I felt better because the insinuation was basically “if what we’re doing comes off, you’ll be left far happier than if we managed to get pk4” basically

    I can’t say — as in I don’t know. But we can all hope and dream! But I walked away with knowledge that either Dees or Saints were gonna have a big big win this off-season, as that’s what I was lead to blv, but fact club are trying super hard is enough for me as I have faith if they have a plan, they’ll execute.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
