    Have you been living under a rock? May became the best key defender in the game after he got traded to us. Not to mention that Lever and Hibberd have had their career best years under us too.

    Aside from maybe Jeremy Howe, I can't think of anyone in recent years who actually reached their potential after leaving Melbourne.

    Cam Pedersen played some terrific footy for us after he was traded from North.

    Apparently Tom Morris likes his surname pronounced like how a French person would say “Maurice”.

    Steven May? Michael Hibberd? Ed Langdon? Jake Lever? 

    Seriously? 

    They were all good at the time 

    May was Captain

    Lever a gun.

    How is the latest unfulfilled high draft pick going in his new environment ?

    Give me a break please.

    Actually that he's not a big body is the problem I see

    I completely forgot how good Bernie Vince was when he came to us too. He was an absolute gun.

    Yeah he was  but  my question for you geniuses was which unfulfilled talent  did the Dee's make better?

    I think Salem is a high half back only. It is the easiest position on the ground and suits his exceptional ability to read the play and hit targets.

    He does not have the engine required to play ANB's role or play wing and I don't think he is big enough or quick enough to play inside midfield.

     

    Agree on half forward and wing, disagree on midfield. Assuming his body gets fit and healthy I think he can play the Pendles role who sits in the corridor and directs traffic and folds back to help the backline.

    He could even rotate with someone like Rivers taking more centre bounces then switching with Salo.

    If our aim is to move the ball with switches and corridor play then we could do with Salem as a fold back midfielder and ask our wings to push in and forward more.

    Our mids are contest to contest followers. We need at least one more creative midfielder who provides uncontested possessions.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
