They listed his weight. The WAFL will be cancelled by the morning. 

Preuss would be happy

Listed weight had gone from 102kg - 118kg in 10 seasons

    Hearing he's requested a trade to Freo

    Hilarious!!! You’re sooooo funny. Goody told me Luker barracks for Freo and I told him we’d smack that outta him soon enough. 😂

    I see shades of Cam Pedersen... 

    Hope he can be a useful gap filler like Cam was over the few years up to '18

    JvR out has me cringing thinking about Petty, BBB as 2nd ruck/fwd, Petty's been hopeless this year, BBB better for structure has 1 competitive effort this year only...

    Do I recall correctly Peds playing starting ruck with Max out (??), and having a cracker. Regardless, I knew him as "clunker" as he was a decent clunk. Denfitinitely got the most out of his 193cm.

    I miss Cam! 😢 

    Cam was wonderful, so often, so 'needed' when the chips were down, so good at collecting unexpected marks and goals. I still dream that he is in the forward line when we are trailing miserably and need a red-hot poker insertion.

    A big difference of course that Cam was a mature bodied experienced AFL player when we recruited him; Luker is a young inexperienced WAFL player. I hope he develops into more that a fill in role player, not downplaying in any way the value Cam gave to the club.

    Nice pair of shoulders, too. Going to be tough the out-bump him, just like it is for those allocated to knock Tracca out of the footy focus. Now, take Luker out of Goodwin's grasp and boring field of influence ... put someone special into his immediate development, like Gawny, Tracca and/with Williams (in fact, call in Neita for specific one-on-ones against the world).

    Don’t worry Deemania Luker will be part of Mark Williams DNA academy same as all the 1st four year players.

    Not sure where you get this SPC? Choko famously swept Princess Diana around the dance floor on her honeymoon tour of Australia. Well known as pretty good on his feet.

    We might need to find him somewhere else to live, or he'll have concussion problems before he even plays a game.

    Did anyone manage to get pics, or did the club release any (🤗) of him with the team at training?

    I’m surprised the club didn’t realise pics or an interview with our new recruit. Hopefully it comes out soon.

    Luker has his first training day on Tuesday, meanwhile Jack Hutchison gets told he's debuting the next day. I feel like a ready made player would have been a better fit

    He wasn't the only ready made player up for grabs. Also, why has it taken so long for out draftee to start training compared to other clubs?

    Because our club is full of amateurs who have no idea what to do about anything let alone about the player they've drafted and what is best for his long term development.

    He arrived in Melbourne less than a week ago and was training two days ago. What more do you want??!!!

    He started training on Tuesday, check WCW’s Tuesday training report.

    Unless he was teleported from WA he physically couldn’t attend training any earlier. And no, he knew nothing about us picking him in the MSD until we picked him.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
