Average player when fit. Out all of this year and probably a lot of 2025. Let's move on. 

Disagree. Elite with ball in hand. Has a good fitness base. He is our Myers if he can stay on the park. He's best 22 for mine.

    So now Geelong have Martin, Stengle, Close and Miers.

     It looks like a new, post-Hawkins game plan to me.

    Lucky to get a 2 year deal, I would have only offered him 1 year.

    Some people get 2 year contracts, some people get 4 year suspensions. It's a funny world.

    Glad he's set at Geelong because I was genuinely anxious about him coming to Melbourne, providing close to nothing on field and continuing to be an off-field swamp at a third club.

    Will be interesting to see if he can get fit and get a solid patch of consecutive games at Kardinia Park. Certainly has talent, not sure his body will hold up though.

    His career does not indicate he would be in our best 23 (not 22). He had the earmarks of a younger MacAdam all his career with some bad luck no doubt.
    Needs to get really fit and hope for luck at a Club that seems to do the right thing by its players .

    Spargo is like McAdam? What are you talking about?

    I am no fan but Spargo is way better than McAdam. McAdam is a sometimes reasonable VFL player.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
