    Thanks W

    Just a few points i would like to add pls...

    While he is probably best 22 we don't know how long Melk will be out, nor if he'll decide to continue by the time he does return.  Most likely he will but 11 months is a long time in footy.  Especially at this point in his career.

    So i would think McAdam replaces Melk there at least until he returns.  There is no McAdam regardless.  Is that not a done deal?

    Deakyn Smith delisted assuming that's the Smith you're referring for Casey in the BP.

    Hibberd & Dunstan retired.

    Moose has moved on.

    Grundy a maybe but highly unilkely i would have thought given the smoke.

    Jordon and Harmes need an asterisk also yes?

    That's the best 44 for the year the next installment won't have D.Smith, Hibberd, Dunstan and anybody else who leaves during trade week.

    Love to see Bowey move onto a wing, he has a good footy brain and is very good by foot.  No idea on his tank.

    I'd start Billings in the 2's regardless of how well he goes in the preseason. One of the Saints fans youtube things i watched said he got 50 possesions when they dropped him. He has the talent make him earn a spot.

    Surprised to see that Billings isn't rated higher than Chandler on here 

     

    My best 23

    B - Lever, May, McVee

    HB - Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem

    C - Brayshaw, Oliver, Langdon

    HF - Petracca, van Rooyen, McAdam

    F - Fritsch, Petty, Billings

    FOLL - Gawn, Viney, Pickett

    INT - Hunter, Sparrow, Neal-Bullen, Woewodin

    23rd - Chandler/Fullerton

    If we go with Petty and JVR as KPFs for MFC with Fritsch and McAdam in support then we're going to have a massive logjam of tall forwards at Casey assuming early season fitness: TMac, BBB, Smith, Schache, Fullarton, Jefferson, KFW - assuming Verrall leads the Casey ruck.

    I'd be playing at least one back.

    Put a line through TMac, BBB   

    Fullerton will be first in line for a call up if one of Gawn, Petty, van Rooyen go down

    Jefferson may play a different role due to the forward depth we have at both levels

    Verrall will be 2nd ruck to Fullerton imo

      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.
