    Melbourne are silly dealing with the grubby Crows club. We'll look desperate .  R2 pick for a  inconsistent injury prone player ?   

    Bin it. Move on.

    Fully fit Fritsch and McAdam could be a nightmare duo to matchup for opposition defences in 2024

    I can't see them both in the same team, it's one or the other.  Unless we are planning to only play one Key forward

    Shane may be just the jigsaw piece  needed to complete the forward puzzle. Enigma to some of course but a great western in the tradition of Stand off at the Corvid Corral.

    reckon they both play round 1 personally.

    Nice to have a Western Australian who wants to come here!

    He's had an interesting career. I didn't realise he only started playing AFL in 2024. His SANFL form in limited games pushed him into AFL contention via mature aged pre draft by Carlton before Adelaide wanted him in the McGovern deal.

    He certainly consistently hits the scoreboard. Has some serious athleticism.

    I think he will be a great addition with his speed, ability to mark as a medium fwd (186cm) and seems to be clean with the ball.

    So we recruit a bloke to play VFL again LOL

    Fritsch and McAdam will work well

    Oh well, atleast we'll have a half decent Casey side in 24.

    Please dont recruit Gunston as well. His career is all but done.

    There are no readymade forwards out there coming to us. We can win it as long as our 4 main forwards stay healthy and we send Trac forward when necessary.

    I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with!

    But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.

     

    Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

    Closer to the NT and add the fact he had relocated to Adelaide for a few years before getting taken by Carl/Adel

    Would be good to land his brother Ash Johnson also

    I can see us looking at a small fwd line with both playing.  You would hope with what we have paid he is playing round 1.

    I"m sure he will be, but how long it lasts i dunno.  Hopefully I'm eating my words after 20+ games and 40 goals!

    We used the F2nd because we have 2 of them and only one F3rd.  It means we can still trade our F1st.

    We have 2 future 3rds care of Harmes, no?

    (😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...)

    To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

    Yes, and I hadn’t realised he drives a De Lorien.

    Yes you're right, sorry.  I was thinking Fullarton cam for a F3rd.

    He will take Melksham's spot until at least well into the year when (hopefully) Melky is over his ACL. When they are all fit and in form will be an interesting selection query...

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
