like who?

mr. 2 possessions bedford?

obviously the Hogan situation couldn’t be helped. he took 8 years to get his head together as evidenced by his time at Freo

For starters

Luke Jackson-Fullerton/Schache

That’s the number 1 problem this year 

Losing Brayshaw and Jordon.
Angus was never going to pass a medical after last September, We let Jordon go way too easily 

I hope McAdam can show us something, but he is very injury prone, if you know any Crows Supporters, they weren’t too fussed losing him

    We have let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent 

    That’s the bottom line

    who?

    hogan; got may and sparrow instead

    bedford; we preferred chandler as a small pressure forward

    jackson; got jefferson and windsor when he wanted to go home

    Sure.

    Still leaves a huge hole in the forward line, considering what we lost. 
     

    not sold on Jeffeerson at all so far

    so yr referencing one player - a 2nd year skinny tall forward - as evidence that we replaced a host of players with inferior talent?

    may is better than all of those who have left, as evidenced by his all-australian selections and premiership player status

    No. I am referencing at least 3 players 

    on Paper Fullarton/Schache is our replacement for Jackson. 
    That is a huge loss on Matchday

    Jefferson is nowhere near AFL standard right now 

    i am not talking about Stephen May. I am talking about the Forward line.

    so only one example of all the forwards we gave away. A ruck/fwd who kicked a few goals and desperately wanted to go home

    Not sure you understand that there are things outside of our control

    It’s fairly easy to comprehend 

    not really - you said we 'let forward players go to other clubs, and replaced them with inferior talent'

    well, no, we didn't

    the only true forwards who've left us are hogan and bedford; we replaced them with may, sparrow, and pick 44, which was on-traded with our 2nd ruckman to bring in pick 13, 2023 first rounder, and 2023 second rounder

    even accounting for jackson as ostensibly being a forward, we got windsor for him, so... inferior talent? no

    Schache replaced Weid. like for like talent wise

    Fullarton was the best tall fwd/ruck we could get. not like we passed on King.

    I am talking about our list as it stands

    Fullarton/Schache are the replacements for Jackson, which is a huge downgrade

    no, jackson netted us the the picks that became jefferson and windsor; the latter is already a key member of our (possible) top 4 side in 2024

    from a player personnel perspective, i'd say grundy was the replacement for jackson; grundy didn't suit our structure as he was unable to play anything other than as starting ruck / robbed gawn of his ability to be the #1 ruckman in the game; subsequently grundy was effectively replaced by fullarton - one vfl player in 2023 replacing one vfl player in 2024 - albeit at a salary cap saving of probably ~$400k per annum

    schache replaced weideman - one vfl player in 2022 replacing one vfl player in 2023

    Jackson averaged 0.6 goals per game for us. Not exactly a huge hole up fwd. Sure he is very good player on the ball. but we need a big key fwd, hopefully one day we will get one

    but to think we have let one go is just untrue

    McAdam has only played one game. I'm for giving him a chance to make a difference to our forward set-up.

    Again, no credit or mention (by name) of the oppo.

    Apparently the Cats played poorly for a half but then improved immensely in the 2nd.

    And poorly for three quarters against us.  He can't move on from that loss which is great to hear.

    I can’t agree with that, our list has become way more inferior up forward since LJ left

    Of course, i hope he does well, he needs to fire in the back half of the season

    Riccardi a stellar game so far.

    That goal in the 3rd was very special.

    Something you don't see alot of from the big fellas much nowadays.

    Was listening and every time I hear his name though I thought the cats had it #too old. 

    Cats press conferences have become must watch TV, only a matter of time b4 it replace drip tray on Front Bar and they bring back under the pump.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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.
