Unrestricted free agent. Exactly the type of player we need to target. Would allow us to push Kozi into the middle more, and not lose craft up forward.

    Another dubious third rate  player, will go ok alongside other champions, Fullerton, McAdam , Hunter, Billings and the Sashenator, right down Taylor’s alley.

    Not happy with our decline, let’s dig down a bit deeper.

    Not if he's an unrestricted free agent

    At the reported $800,000 the media are sprouting you could pick up a topline midfielder.

    You probably can’t these days, not as a free agent anyway. But we should be targeting mids and talls with any big cash offers.

    Stengle’s a class player but paying him top of the line money makes sense for Essendon who have a huge hole there rather than us.

    Yeah, but who is our next coach that can make these changes???

    I am unsure if Stafford is to blame for our forward woes.

    Poor delivery from upfield is not his area. I have seen our forwards make space and be totally ignored, or a mis kick pass cruel them. Long bombs into the forward line are again not his area I would think.

    Do we blame Stafford for dropped marks, poor goal kicking maybe.

    There is more wrong with us than the forward coach.

    I watch it from behind the goals Red and the errors, flaws and poor craft stand out like the proverbial.

    👉🏼  Lack of separation

    👉🏼  STILL too many going up together with no one down

    👉🏼  Three seasons and Kozzy is still going for speckie of the year.  Often spoiling his team mate in the process and also not there for the crumb. 

    Unforgiveable this is still happening after that long.

    👉🏼  Most or all forwards running away from a pressured ball carrier coming through the middle or off a wing far too often.  Doesn't always happen but it's far too often.

    Under this scenario the pressured kicker will often dump it shallow straight into the basket of an oppo defensive sweeper who has read the play better.

    👉🏼  Attempting to play small mediums or mediums at true CHF for serious minutes.  I understand you have to try things and mix things up.  Present a diff look and test your opponents.  But this is a tactic that should be a rare surprise if standard structures arent't working.  Not a regular 'go to'.

    👉🏼  Smalls, Mediums & even HF - Mids running into the leading lanes of designated hit ups disrupting their attemps to mark on a lead.

    I've seen (from behind the goals) Fritta & Melk (last season) yelling in frustration a number of times for rookies and seasoned players to get the hell out.

    👉🏼  Non desgnated hit up forwards do not provide enough blocks / chop outs in general in order to assist marking forwards gain space / time on their opponents.

    👉🏼  Not enough dumby leads by non designated stay-at-home forwards in order to clear out the forward 50 for pack crashing / marking forwards and crumbers like JVR & Kozzy.

    The only players with genuine leading patterns and / craft ...

    BBB & Melk ... when playing

    Fritta... when he decides to bring it

    That's just from recent memory.

    You see a fair bit from behind the goals that you don't see from the wing on the box.

    Fair enough.

    My vision is as you said, from the wing or on TV.

    Fairly comprehensive 😊

    A yes to Stengle for mine. He'd be ahead of Chandler.

    If we do what I think we should do and revert to a forward half territory game, we need more x factor at ground level. It means slower entries become more dangerous if we get them to ground and repeat stoppages inside 50 would also face a better chance of being converted with more x factor.

    Which is why I hope we also target Rachele.

    IMV we've had a style that suits x factor smalls, which is why Kozzy has shone in our system. Problem we've had is we don't have any other x factor smalls.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
