    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...

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
