Great to see Kynan selected. He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL.  Quick and evasive and reads the play well. He sets up play, has goal involvements and kicks a few himself.

IMO eventually his ability to read the play will see him excel as a mid. 

As a forward if the oppo take their eye off him they will pay.

His form this year surprised me. I thought a couple more preseasons would get him right for the big time but if you have what it takes then you get rewarded.

 

"He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL'. That is a massive stretch. He has shown minor glimpses at best.

I hadn't seen the photo's until this morning, i understand where you were coming from now.

They do look happy and relaxed, i will give you that.

Whether their attitude gets translated on the field as will to win   Or 

I really don’t care.   Or I am high as kite right now.

 
i have no idea but  a relaxed trio at training, no tension, means they will not be thinking of outside detractors rather than ball, and kick the blooody goal. 

I will watch with interest !

GW and Robbo on AFL 360 also mentioned the massive fall out that would occur if we lose to North.

But in reality, what's actually going to change? They're certainly not going to sack Goodwin and/or the assistant coaches if that's what the media are inferring in terms of "fall out"

Ok so not enormous but not tiny. What are the early indications of his role @ VFL watchers

Kynan is a bits and pieces player.  Maybe small but shows heart.  Nothing of note in his VFL games so unsure why he gets promoted.  Marketing?  Hope he has a good game.

Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

 

sooo he wouldn’t be ahead of others as a defence first? Seems like a strange call to me

I presume you’re talking about Petty.

Prior to this season I rated him in the best defenders going around. 
On current form he doesn’t deserve to be in the side, IMO.

Tomlinson, Brown, Tholstrup in

Petracca, Billings, Laurie out 

I still want Woey in the side but can’t really complain about K Brown and Tholstrup getting chances over Laurie and Billings.

I think this’ll be it. Won’t see Fullarton, AMW or Sestan until they start appearing in the emergencies first - club usually signals who’s next in line 

Disco as the sub??

This is actually it (see above).

Fullarton an emergency.


Petty named again at CHF? Worst player in the competition & Goodwin drops Tomlinson last week then bring him back again? Why? 

Tholstrup a most deserved elevation after his last match at Casey. Performance actually matches ‘some’ of the messianic hyperbole being spouted about, since his arrival by worshippers of a paranormal kolt.

Goodwin’s explained Tomlinson - Collingwood had a small forward line so we decided to go smaller in our backline.

It's not all about form. It's about knowing team structure and role, the rest takes care of itself. 

I wonder what players working hard at Casey think of Petty constantly getting games with zero output.

Would imagine it’s a bit demoralising

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
