We could seek out Kane Farrel from Port, doesn't get as much attention as Bergman and is likely to miss out of a payday there.

Slots in well to replace McVee as a flanker with good skills. We need to target players in 24-28 age bracket and he's hitting his prime at 26.

From memory, haven't we had interest in him previously? Potentially misspeaking but I seem to recall us being linked to him loosely over the past few years.

Well there goes that idea


I heard that May is leading the reverse Coleman in goals conceded to key forwards.

McVee must be leading the reverse Coleman in goals conceded to small forwards. Moir another small who just gone to town on us (apologies to McVee if someone else had the job on him but I'm not enduring that game again to verify)

Was he on Harvey the week before too?

McVee would've started on their premier small forward in Curtis.

Who knows if he spent time on Harvey throughout?

Harris Andrews and Callum Wilkie are also in the top 5. Meaningless stat, just means they are taking the best forwards every week.

Who's been playing on Kossie the last month,you do know that Bowie,Rivers and Salem all get goals kicked on them and they aren't the best small forwards


With 5 weeks to go in the season, it is concerning, that a player is still not signing, after having an Offer from the club since last year and obviously several negotiations since.

Hopefully we get some good news soon.

Lever definitely spent a fair bit of time on Harvey. I think McVee was mostly on Curtis.

I was at that game and everytime I would look down back it was Rivers who was on Curtis.

We've got a significant hole ever since Michael Hibberd left the club.

We dont have that big medium defender that can take on the likes of Zurhaar, Dangerfield when up forward.

McVee has been poor this year unfortunately. How we let Ashton Mior kick 4 goals on the weekend is just appalling.

Howes form is lifting and may develop into the Hibberd type role. Surprised he wasn't selected against Carlton after being BOG at Casey the week before.

Yep,McVees fault

Do we know for a fact he was on Moir?

I mean, whoever it was, it shouldn't have happened. Between our medium defenders in Rivers and McVee someone gave him far too much latitude.

We have a history of making ordinary forwards look like Wayne Carey once a year.

All my instincts tell me he is gone.

However the inside line according to some of our own say its all bullocks and he is signed up. I tend to take some comfort in that view given a proven track record.

With Rivers now playing in the backline with Bowie and Salem,McVee doesn't get the same opportunities,im thinking there's other teams that want a ball carrier, just saying and by the way the team is going with Goody's non magnetic changes,why would you want to stay.Club is going nowhere atm.its a wait and see moment.

Surprised me as well. And the perfect protype defender suited well on Moir.

AMW could be our next Hibbo. He has similar traits with speed, aggression and his willingness to defend.

No. I don't think so. If McVee did play on him it was only at times. I'd say Turner was on him more often than others.

I really really dislike Carlton's list but I really like Moir.

That's not to excuse at all. We shouldn't be letting talented six-gamers kick four goals at any time, let alone when we're playing half a VFL team.

On this occasion ignore your instincts, GS. Judd isn’t going anywhere. Have faith 😁

Not only is AMW smaller then Hibberd but he is more suited to the dangerous smalls such as Charlie Cameron, Rankine, Nick Watson, Willie Rioli types. He'd match them for speed and aggression.

Hibberd had a good blend of being able to play on the smalls but could also sit on Dusty Martin, Patrick Dangerfield or a Toby Greene because he had strength and frame to able to match it with those bigger bodied type meduim forwards.

I see AMW as a Mathew Whelan type lock down defender who would play on the likes of Stephen Milne and Jeff Farmer types.

Twice this year we've had Cam Zurhaar get hold of us simply because we had no decent match up on him. Kind of player that Hibberd would have easily locked down on.

The cherry on top for Hibbo was that booming left foot kick that could easily hit a target 60m away

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
