Same as last year really, where we went in with Hunter and first gamers McVee & Laurie

Very similar but both McVee and Laurie had  been in our system for a year at least like Howes.  But Caleb straight from the draft to be selected first game,  that’s as good as any number one pick in the last few years.  Except I don’t think we are a struggling club.  So that’s even more impressive.   I hope he lives up to it.  
someone on here likened him to Tulip,

that’s hard to believe.

    I likened him to Robbie and Ive seen nothing so far to change my mind - will he ever be as good - we can only hope because Robbie was possibly the best footballer I’ve ever seen in red and blue. He does move like the great man but I agree they are massive boots to fill 

    He deserves his spot given his training form and pre season form and add the fact that Hunter is unavailable 

    We have lacked pace imo - he has it 

    Good luck to him let’s all hope he plays a good game and helps us to a great first up victory

    'This is the side of Oliver we don’t see, but Oliver never turns down the chance to give back outside club hours. Like most AFL players, Oliver doesn’t feel the need to publicise these moments.'

    I reckon certain Collingwood player might learn something from Clarry. 

    Dont even bring this collimgwood Sub Human up on this site🤮

    I didn’t expect Fox’s promotion to get me pumped for this game but here we are.

    I also quietly love that they’ve got Billings in there. Back him in and let’s go.

    I was at training at Gosches when Clarry returned to team training.He was signing autographs for kids and posing for photos.He is a people person. He loves the fans.

    Interesting that a suspended Kozzy is in the pic. Maybe they plan to play him under a pseudonym?

    Nice that Longmire announced their debut in front of a huge Melbourne emblem. So that's where the MFC media people have been. 😉

    AFL.com.au’s predicted Sydney backline;

    Lloyd.    McCartin.    Rampe

    Florent.  Blakey.   Jordon

    They are tiny. And that is weird.

    Never been a fan of using a tall as a sub but on a small ground I’d be throwing everything in the height bucket against these smurfs.

     

    edit. Looking a bit more closely at their predicted side, it appears the work experience kid might’ve been thrown this one.

    Got the same syndrome ... new Sony TV, new Flip6 speakers that just might be able to achieve a Ch7 commentary upgrade, hot dogs, rolls, Dijon mustard and Rosella dead horse, black pepper. Raring to go!

    Do you mean they can convert Brian Taylor into Anthony Hudson?  That's impressive.

    I wonder how the Grundy v Max will go.

    Interesting to see if there's any bad blood.

    I wish James Jordan all the best but of course hope he has a quiet night.

    As a sub maybe. If one of the talls goes down we'd be pretty small in the forward half/ruck.

    I still prefer a more versatile sub but in a tight game on a small ground someone that can mark or at least provide strong marking contests late in a game could be useful.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
