I have thought this for a very long time. The Injury list is worthless. Only comment I could find on Melbournefc is from mid Jan when Max. was out for a week or two. All other stories are about the girls during finals time. No wonder I seldom visit the site.

Yes, I would agree. Fitting Gawn/Grundy, Fritsch, TMac, and Brown isn’t tenable in my view.

Yeah its not like Gawn/Jackson, Fritch, Tmac and Brown kicked 20 goals in a prelim and a grand final before?????

Was just told the boys are about to run out at Gosch’s. 

Got there at about 3.20 pm.

Max and Stafford were the only ones left. Passing it around and some goal kicking.

Katey Hore turned up and she said a few of the women were going to have a kick. Their not training yet.

To some extent touché, but the difference is that Gawn is more a fwd than ruck now and that may overbalance us.

Yes that (Gawny) needs to be watched but it's all about the sum of parts and the final result. We have enough parts to mix snd match centred around talls smalls and the best medium hybrid forward in the AFL as he proved in the GF. 

And Harry Petty should not be discarded or forgotten. Add Joel Smith also.

The challenge for them is getting the max from the two groups of players while trying to build on field cohesion after all the list and position changes in the off season. 

I'm not the only one that thinks they will struggle with cohesion:-

bont-s-role

"Even [Bontempelli] admits the biggest challenge whenever he streams from a stoppage will be selecting which of his key forward options he kicks to, saying their ability to work in tandem is still being ironed out...There's probably a little bit for them to work through, in terms of them working together nicely..."

I would go one step further and say cohesion challenges also apply to their mids and defence.

Quite surprised Fritta is considered a walk up start considering his lead up to Round 1.

 

He’s done a full pre season up until the foot thing. 
He also happens to be the second biggest goal kicker in the competition over the last two seasons. He’s a walk up start at every club in the AFL.

I haven't been to the footy for years, is GA still available on level 1?

Depends which games but generally yes behind the goals Punt Rd end and maybe forward pocket southern stand same end? Half the ground is MCC/AFL members and most of the rest of level is reserved members seating. If we're playing North or GWS you can sit anywhere, Collingwood it Richmond you'll be up on level 4.

Edit - and there's always standing room on level 1.

I must admit i didn't realize until the last couple of weeks how good a footballer Lachie Hunter actually is, getting him for a future 3rd round pick is incredible. He's a serious chance to be the best off season recruit of the year, he will not only add a huge amount to our team, but i think he'll take a lot of pressure off Langdon. teams did really hurt us by tagging Langdon at times. Lachie will make that much much harder

Hunter has always been a very good player. He is a steal, as many of us have posted since the trade was announced.

He’s very smart, a beautiful short to medium kick and when committed a very good runner.

But don’t overreact to a couple of preseason games when he’s been desperate to make a good impression.

For one, we have to hope his commitment goes all year (and beyond). And his lack of burst speed and strength at the contest will both be tested at times.

He’s potential a great help for Langdon but we also have to be prepared for teams running Blicavs through the wing and needing Hunter to go back or forward or Langdon forward to get a taller wing. Hopefully the coaches have plans for that.

Dogs game is a must win.

We need to win 2 out of our first three. If we go 0-3 makes the season that much harder

In what world are we losing our first 3? Bar Sydney the others are easy beats. I'd be shocked if we don't start 3 - 0

Tough one to call, if you get there early enough you could be right. Level 1 Ponsford stand pocket/behind goals could be a goer as well.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
