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

On visiting a young fan in hospital:

'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.

Any chance they will pick BBB, as he has been declared fit?

You would think he would need some match conditioning.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
