Disco staying or going is not going to change the direction we go in.

There is a lot of up side with him, just needs game time and coaching development.

I reckon he’s a kid with talent. He just needs time. Sign him up and keep playing him.

Met him

He's a lovely young man and he is stoked at being at the club

Plays for the jumper. Need more of them.

Yawn     wont matter if he stays or goes to me

Maybe we should link his pay to disposals might motivate him to get of the bottom of the disposal list

Completely ineffectual in my view

I think we need to play him down back for the rest of the year and going forward. He, Lever and May should form a good three pronged defence next year (with Tomlinson likely gone and T Mac probably out of contract) and all played well in our great win over Sydney late last year.

He and Petty are not working up forward in the slightest. We need to find other options, whether that's T Mac, BBB or Melksham in a few weeks - natural forwards please.

For some reason he reminds of me of Howes.

There is a difference Turner likes the contest all the time.

Dunstall would not get a kick in our forward line and people expect him to goals without teaching him forward craft.

According to something I saw from the Hun or Domainfax there was rival interest? Anyone from whom?

He is still only kid as for teaching him a forward coach if we get one someone with that ability because we haven't got one now, now that's not to say moving from the backline to the forward line is going to work, but they need to gives these kids the tools to work on.

22 year old key defender / forward, good mark and kick who doesn’t mind a bit of physicality, Disco has been hampered by injury. We need players of his ilk but needs to have a good run at it.

The criticism on here has all the credibility of a plan that involves 7 small nuclear plants being owned by the Government, from a Government that does not want to own things.

It's a team game and not everyone is going to be a star.  This bloke could be very, very good though.

The lad has played under 12 games and shown plenty.  Loves the contest, is agile and has plenty of upside.  He will never be a target forward, but a good 3rd option - and can swing down back.

How many young players do we have that can do that and have his upside?  Not many.  I'm excited for his future with us.

Has been showing some good signs and the FD obviously rate him.

Not sure being a forward is his best position, so would love to see them move him down back especially next year if Tmac and Tommo leave.

That's what a swingman can do, I guess?! (funny old language, English, innit?)

Re the OP article, 'closing in on', as opposed to 'inks' smacks of Club (via AFL) media trawling for good news about us.

As to DT himself, goodo!

    Date of Birth: 4 January 1996 Height: 187cm Games MFC 2024: 13 Career Total: 189 Goals MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 184 Brownlow Medal Votes 16 Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed. Date of Birth: 9 January 1996 Height: 188cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 167 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 49

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress. Date of Birth: 26 March 2003 Height: 182cm Games MFC 2024: 16 Career Total: 20 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 3 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 1
