Doesn't look like we've got much going on in the VFL despite winning. Jordan - we know what he brings. Brown - finished most likely. Woewodin and others - still just developing.

    He actually had 2 excellent aerial contests in the last 5 minutes and he took a strong grab and laced out Schache for the vital go ahead goal.

    Athletically we know he’s not much but he played well.

    For an AFL listed player and looking at the way he moves I’d have to disagree. Maybe ok for a VFL player but he should retire effective immediately. 
     

    I was a bit harsh on Jordan but what I’m getting at is he’s got no great strength to bring to our game.

    It’s a VFL game. Name a clear strength he has and who does he replace at the level?

    Jordon and Wowoedin were great , Deakin Smith and Lawrie have a great set of skills and plenty of time.

    Best defender: Deak Smith. Really solid game. Turner quiet. Howes I can’t believe had 23 which is a testament to how easy he makes it but his contest work is poor.

    Best mid: Woey. JJ had moments as did Laurie, but Taj I thought combined inside and outside efforts.

    Best forward; Depsite rucking a lot was Schache. With an honourable mention to Gorgeous George Grey.

    Brown started the season with 8 goals in two matches and the club admitted he shouldn’t have lined up against Sydney with his back injury. 
     

    Will never look great at VFL level with sub par ball movement and delivery. 
     

    His inclusion into the side will help Roo and Fritta tenfold. I very much hope he’s back in soon and from listening to an interview from Richo last night, he’s not far away.

    He's never had much midfield time with the senior team.

    Hardly a surprise with who we have in there.

    Another strong game from JJ. But probably won’t crack it for a game next week as Hibbo and Clarry back in.  

    Laurie also on the fringe of a senior game.

    I think Woey jnr should debut later in the year.

    Deakyn Smith is still a prospect.  

    Not sure BBB will get back despite our needs for a KPF.

    Would be better than Harmes on current form and he will be suspended anyway I suspect

    Good thing about him is he is a very reliable kick for goal we could use a bit of that skill atm - not sure who he’d replace though

    Poor player management. If Smith can’t lock away a spot after 3-4 weeks then Schache deserves 3-4 weeks.

    No point flogging a dead horse with BBB though, for what he’s got I thought he contested and jumped at it well today. Maybe, just maybe it might spur him on. He’s had a lot worse VFL games lately.

    JJJ’s endurance is his weapon at AFL level. He’s still just 22 and filling out his frame and has barely played consistent footy as an inside mid. He wasn’t a TAC pathways gun on baller who’s been doing this since he was 14 like Jack Viney for instance. 

    He doesn’t provide us anything to the senior side right now, hence why he isn’t in it. 

    People think he needs to be in the afl side. I firmly don’t. But I’d love to see what he can do with 10 more weeks at Casey as the main man. His skills and stoppage craft can really improve with 30-40 touches a week

    Jefferson is going to need to lift...a lot.

    Are your standards based on JVR? Because if they are, have a reality check. 
     

    In the context of big forwards, Roo is a massive anomaly in that not many come in and have an impact straight away and Jefferson isn’t ready. Not many big forwards are expected to be, but so many on this page especially think he’s going to dominate games like Roo did last year when it’s just not realistic at all, not to mention them being very different players also.

    I’ll admit I’m a hard judge of players. I also use my feeling of a players impact more than the stats. 
    Sure Jordan got plenty ball today but he’s just so vanilla. Could he replace ANB? That’s about his best chance and we know how hard that’s going to be for him.

    Weitering was playing on Roo last night. That said it all. Brown is needed for structure. No club or player is nervous about Schache, they never have been, and likely never will be. Browns first two games showed he’s worth persisting with. Again, he will never go well at VFL with the standard of delivery, umpiring and flow of the game. It’s very obvious isn’t it?

    I’ve watched Jefferson’s last 5 games. He does have a reasonable set of hands, maybe knitting could be his thing? ………apologies I’m advance to all those shocked at my criticism.

    Jordan gets where the ball is. He is excellent with handball in pressure situations. He gets good distance by foot and he is reasonably quick. I haven't seen a BAD game from him at AFL level. If you have, name it!

    It’s how he’s moving that concerns me most. He makes Gawn look fast. Darcy Moore would run off him like a gleeful kid from his grandma.

     

    You talk structure like Brown will add to that, care to explain? JVR did just fine on Weitering by the way

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
