Good question, I felt like it was a poster each for Kade and Trac but might be wrong. 

We hit the post 3 times in total, pretty sure Kade did it twice cos I was laughing cos i had him to score 2 in my multi.

    Bets and vested interests win out when it comes to remembering things you would know better than me 🙂

    Mine was dead the moment '2-goal a game' Mihocek decided to bottle it.

    Agree, great to see his commitment both in the signing and on the field. I've seen enough of his early skillset, scoring (albeit not recently), defensive pressure, one grab marking and fine delivery, etc to be happy.

    I do wonder where this places Jordon tho.

    Well done Kade, well done MFC.

    How the MFC has changed. Players used to 'wait until season's end' blah, blah, blah... but now they are lining up to re-sign. We are recent premiers, a destination club, and a genuine contender for the flag in 2023. Good times.

    These kind of signings are a great indicator of internal cohesion and confidence. Although we can probably fit only 2 small forwards into our 22, Chandler is most likely sitting in 1st place at the moment, with Spargo and Kozzie in such poor form. I also like the fact he often plays well in the last quarter. 

    After the bye, hopefully his fatigue has levelled out, and he has enough recovery energy to kick the goals he was kicking earlier in the season.

    Hopefully he will be the next one to sign, he doesn't get much love on here but is a very good player, IMO and we shouldn't lose him.

    I reckon your angst should be directed at far more senior players than him who have been struggling to kick regulation goal. *cough* Gawn and Trac *cough*

    Yeah but they are executed their main rolls.

    Chandler is there to pressure and kick goals when he gets his chance!

    Love it. He is like a little terrier on field. Chases, tackles and attacks. 

    Yes, and more and more he can be seen directing traffic.

    Well done to Kade. He's had to wait for opportunity and he's grabbed it this season and proved he belongs at AFL level. Just needs to straighten his radar and start nailing his shots like earlier this season!

    On top of all these fine comments about Chin there is one thing I've always loved about him, he's got the swagger.

    You can tell with guys like these that they dream of kicking a goal and have goal sense, you need to be a little greedy as a specialist small forward. Obviously we don't want David King BBQ levels but you have to want to kick a goal and on top of his pressure and running work rate, he always wants that goal. There's a heap of small forwards in the league that are role players and get the blinkers in front of goal. Confident he'll get consistency and become a real threat with limited opportunities. 

    Hope he bags a hatful next week.

    No we all love Kossie BUT he is not in good form. First game vs Dogs  that's what he can do and simply he is a little undisciplined and not in the right crumbing spots too many times.

    Needs a small wake up call.

    BUMP!

    I thought he was very good yesterday and has been much more consistent this year - last year, he ran out of steam by this stage. He seems to be Nibbler-esque in his team first mentality and a couple of the younger guys have mentioned him as a role model.

    His contested marking is excellent for his size: there was one that he took at full stretch on the Shane Warne wing, where he beat a much taller opponent. The highlight, though, was in the final couple of minutes, when he sat Harley Reid down in a crunching marking contest (I’d love to see a replay of that!).

    Well done Chin - keep it up son.

    Was still making lung-busting sprints late in the 4th quarter. Key component of the forward line pressure.

    We have a log jam of just okay small forwards, Chandler is one of the few which would hold some value, should move him on and take the pick

    Trade Chandler for what? A late second rounder? In order to play who? Spargo who’s been MIA all year? Laurie who doesn’t have the speed, power or marking game to be a small forward? McAdam, Sesto or AMW who don’t have the tanks.

    Chandler’s rock solid in his effort each week and a great culture guy, he won’t be traded.

    We have a log jam of 'just ok' small forwards and you want to get rid of the best of them?

    Love chandler - tough, hard runner and is team first player. 
    24 years of age and coming into his prime.

    Can’t play West Coast every week but Chin was very good yesterday and was good against Brisbane too. 

    Continuity in the talls and finally getting some run back through the middle should let the small forwards find more of the ball in space too.

    This is the last 10 players taken at Pick 35:
    Harrison Wigg, Marcus Adams, Josh Prudden, Oscar Clavarino, Bailey William (WC), Flynn Perez, Connor Downie, Paul Curtis, Olli Hotton, Cooper Simpson.

    Most aren't on an AFL list and I'd only be tempted to have a look at Bailey Williams, though he's a long way off being a star.

    • 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.
