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.

I agree we should be looking at Stengle and Rachele was a player I also thought would suit our needs, possibly in an exchange with Petty (I think we would need to offer a bit more)would also take Richards from the Doggies in a heartbeat. I also agree we will revert to a forward half territory game however I am having none of the slow entries. Any forward especially your X factor players want quick entry into an open forward line with space to weave their magic with higher quality looks on goal. For me the less stoppages the better. If there is a team that has been the victim of mystery finger tips on shots on goal according to a score review it’s Melbourne, in particular ANB. Make no mistake about it a forwardline that is required to constantly run so high up the ground to defend and back, slow ball movement into congestion and kicks wide to a pocket is why we are so inaccurate in front of goals. Costing us games and possibly a premiership in 2023.

    Slow entries are a fact of modern footy if you're playing a forward half game. It's being able to take a contested mark or bringing the ball to ground and then being dangerous from the ground ball.

    ...and adding to that having high workrate tackling forwards to lock the ball in the 50.

    Sorry but I wouldn’t touch him. Don’t care how good he has been recently, someone who is openly selling his soul to the highest bidder (if I’m not mistaken) cannot be good for our club, particularly our “culture”. I mean, the cats made him, he played in a premiership, and yet he wants to leave? Doesn’t sound like a teammate I could rely on to me. Some parallels to us and LJ, but LJ was just a babe, Stengel is 3 years older and knows what he is doing. It’s a big pass for me.

    He can kick goals, he would be an asset to our forward line, at the right price 

    He may help the MFC to win a Flag. We should be heavily enquiring into this as a Business transaction.

    Interesting you mention the transactional basis. Not to be too angsty and re-open suppurating wounds but if this were true: Grundy would have been played in the finals (were it true that he was dropped as he’d walked the plank, so to speak). Arrrrrrr, time for a rum

    Yes. He should have been picked in my opinion. He was a paid employee of the MFC…

    He was a very important player as their best small forward in that premiership WHILE on the minimum afl wage. How dare he cash in to provide for his family, while his short lived career is at its peak. I'm not saying he's worth the price tag, but "selling his soul" is a bit much.

    Damn Rick Lever! Surely he has run out of sick leave already. Why is he doing work experience with Goddy in the box some weeks?

    👉🏼  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.

    This has been one of my biggest complaints / observations for years - even way back when Ox and Neitz were there.    Always congested. 
    Is it laziness or lack of coaching?   Carlton are doing it well.

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

    Topline mids aren’t what they used to be — the game has turned towards impact role players and will continue to in time

    LDU is literally the perfect recruiting target for us imho! Whisky topline mids aren’t as vital as they once weee, what he’d allow by enabling our best role players like Nibbler, Kos to return to the fwd half is where he’d pay-off most. 
     

    Whilst at same time also add some great inside lateral movement to get the ball to the outside!

    Wish I knew, that is the recruiting dept. job to find one but I would rather put the reported $800,000 towards a midfielder or a key forward.

    Role players are always important but midfielders are more so.

    With the increased cap size I think we have to adjust for inflation with player salaries. $800k will very quickly become equivalent to $900k-$1M in the player exchange market.

    LDU is probably making the smart call to hold off on making any decisions on his contract year till his FA year in ‘25. I’m not sure he can be extracted from the Roos this off season.

    I guess we will get a good look at him tonight - maybe we will see how early he is locked down?  Hopefully?

    Taking into account his past history, there would need to be certain criteria written into any contract. 
    nothing wrong with being diligent

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
