    just thinking about our lack of small forwards and something to keep an eye on for 2026

    his year is going to go one of two ways next year, he'll either drift into the abyss and maybe crop up at casey in '27 as a 23rd man whilst playing overage CTL or he'll shoot up boards into mid second round contention as one of teh most dangerous smalls his age

    If he kicks on next year Prasad will shape up to be our 3rd small forward drafted in 2 years. Fingers crossed he will land in the 2nd round so our two firsts can remain untouched.

    or, alternatively, his under 18s season is so good that we're looking for ways to manipulate the draft as we're premiers, gc17 finish wherever they finish, and we're accumulating enough points to match the expected top 5 bid on prasad

    I would be surprised if Prasad comes for training in December and January.

    do you mean you WOULDN'T be surprised?

    i expect he'll have some 'train on' experiences with the mfc given that he's in our academy

    based on this he might be small but his craft, skill, and speed may make up for it

    looks good from both an attacking and defensive mindset

    Looks good, but after drafting Trelly and Tommy Matthews, our small stocks are looking pretty healthy.

    If the coaches rate him though, I'm sure we'll find a spot for him.

    You can never have enough small forward depth - let’s hope he’s a gun and he can light it up with Trelly and Matthews for years to come

    Marcus played for the Dandenong Stingrays this weekend, had 20 possessions, 3 tackles and kicked 2 goals.

    One to track.

    Another one to watch is Corey Ah-Mu (2027 draft) who, unlike his brother, will be eligible for our club as an NGA. 16rs old and 193cm, kicked 2 goals and had 11 disposals.

    He’s the one to definitely target.

    with Mentha switching to HB this preseason and our heavy investment in forwards in the most recent draft we may end up with a free catb spot come november

    Agree, aside from a great snap the only positives I see is he gets to good crumbing spots and is a left footer. However he is small and seems to lack the speed, step or clean take you need to be special at that size. He also seems to go to ground quite a bit. Small 3 minute sample size but nothing there that has me too excited.

    Yeah I didnt see a great deal of speed and zip for someone so small.

    Has good footy IQ and smarts but I feel like when you're that small you need something that really just blow people away in terms of strength and I dont see it with Prasad.

    Heaps of disposals but most of them were poor use.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
