Grabbed his chances as a small early in the season with his energy and accuracy in front of goal and rewarded the club for its perseverance.

Ā 

I’m a fan of Chin. First half of the year he displayed his value with a very good level of defensive play and kicking goals. He was always busy in and around the play. He seemed to tire with a full season at AFL level. Hopefully with more AFL experience he will run out a full season.Ā 

As mentioned, Kade had a great first half in ā€˜23, hopefully another preseason and having a couple more fit players in the forward 50 he can stay in the game for longer in 2024, really like what Chandler brings to the team.

Ā 

Big fan of the Chin. His goal kicking accuracy is pretty good, hard at the ball, and has a good leap and very strong over head marker for his size, this is a really underrated skill of his. Could make a formidible partnership with likes of Kozzy, McAdam in '24.

At his best he is a real weapon, endurance running and deadly accuracy. But as with all "high half forwards" an extended drop of form can make them a liability.

I expect Chin and Spargo to be competing with McAdam, Billings and even Tholstrup for those spots this year. I think the competition will be healthy.


All of the above, plus… he’s a really sweet kid. Proof again that the ā€˜No DH policy’ is still well and truly in force.Ā 

Showed some good attributes in the first half of ā€˜23, but then faded. Ā A work in progress who still needs to ā€˜nail down’ a spot in our best 22.

I would actually prefer him to Kozzie in 2023 (sic).Ā  And I am not just saying that to be controversial.Ā  Doesn't jump unless he is likely to grab the ball and is more involved.

dodgy spelling

Ā 

Showed some good signs early in the season, then reverted to the same inconsistency that he showed in previous seasons. Another who is going to need to lift in a big way to play senior football in 2024 given our recruiting.

Thsts a quote no one is likely to agree with. I like you are frustrated with Zkosdie trying to be MOTY champion but coaches must forbid him wasting his time jumping far too outrageously.

Chin had a good season just tapering off at the end. Was a good goal sneak and crumbed who will join all the previously mentioned players vieing for a spot I mentioned in the Bailey Laurie post.Ā 

Love his whole hearted attack on ball and opponents.Ā 

Future in his own hands.Ā 


When he's on he's electric.

Hope to see some more consistentency this year.

Exciting player.

Kade will be under pressure to keep his place with Billings and McAdam wanting a place in the 22/23.

His early season form needs to be great because once Pickett has served his suspension there will be less places for players like Kade.

The new recruits Caleb and Koltyn will also be looking to get into the team as well as Taj, Blake and Bailey.

You leave Zkosdie alone.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
