I like the look of Caleb Lewis. He might be worth looking at in mid season.

He played with Howes at Sandy.

    Ill Give Jefferson a rev up as he’s shown aggression, positioning and poise to start the third. Need much more of it but I was glad to see he can do it.

    Pick 13 for Tholstrup still remains a question mark for me. Does not seem to be impacting at this level at all

    i'll go hard counter

    tough in the clinches, does the little things already (shepherds, blocks, etc.), and puts his head over the ball

    heaps to like

    currently has 14 disposals (equal 2nd for casey) on a 50:50 split, 5 tackles, 3 marks, and 3 clearances

    Noticed Windsor does the same thing. It’s not always about the possessions with both of them. Their blocking, Shepard, Knock ons and tackles show great team work.

    Verrell to Laurie goal. But I want to talk about how Fullerton has changed the look around the ball. He’s not a contested mark beast, but his follow up work has been great.

    Bailey Laurie is NOT a mid. That clearance was the prime example, fumbles the ball to Hawthorns 50, misses a tackle clearance Hawthorn. He has some crafty things for a HF or small forward but he’s not a mid, this needs to end.

    I think I've been a bit lucky to only be home and watching after half time.

    Seen a bit of what everyone was talking about - the trash disposal, rushed decisions, and all that - but it also seems to be very marginally turning a bit our way. Maybe not in our favour, but at least not so one sided as the first half and the alarmingly bad first quarter.

    yep

    i'm more and more thinking...

    OUT: may, lever
    IN: Fullarton, Woewodin

    petty and salem stay down back, hore comes in to starting 22, fullarton becomes forward / ruck relief, and probably woey 2.0 is the sub

    tholstrup the pick of our next tier mid types, but i reckon he comes in to give windsor a rest for the 5 day break

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
