Melbourne currently has twelve players on its list who have yet to play an AFL game for the club. This is how I rank them in terms of readiness to make their MFC debut in the coming season —

1. Harvey Langford 
2. Xavier Lindsay 
3. Harry Sharp 
4. Aidan Johnson  
5. Matt Jefferson 
6. Tom Campbell 
7. Tom Fullarton
8. Oliver Sestan 
9. Jed Adams
10. Will Verrall
11. Ricky Mentha Jnr
12. Luker Kentfield

Langford and Sharp would be the two front runners.

I'm not as confident as Lindsay debuting in the early rounds due to his late pre season. 

Campbell would be clear number 1 if Gawn was unavailable for round 1, touch wood that doesn't happen.

 

JEFFO, Langford and Sharp..... dark horse... CULLEY

Langford round 1

Sharp round 2

Campbell round 4 or 5 as Gawn tires

 

Disco preferred to Jefferson as latter's form in the VFL not markedly better that the former's in the AFL.  AJ still unkown to prove in VFL.

Hmmm, not as helpful as I'd hoped.  

OK, so as a pure guess, I'd like to see Jefferson finally get his chance, he's more than earned it.  

I also suspect that Sharp and Langford will be early call-ups.  

Well Campbell is clearly the most “ready” to debut seeing as he’s been in the AFL system for over a decade.

But you’d think it’s Langford who’s the most likely to debut in round 1.

I think they’ll play 3 talls up forward. Jefferson takes pettys spot

 

ill wait till i see them all play at Nth Melbourne. Hope they all get significant time on the ground.


My tip is on Langford & Jefferson AFL debuts in R1, with a Harry Sharp club debut

Langford, Sharp and one of AJ/Jefferson would be my tip, with Henderson a smokey considering Kozzy and Kolt won’t be available, and question marks over Spargo

Where does he fit in?

Fits into the Casey 22

Question marks over spargo? He hasn’t done a session all summer. His career is over

Rubbish. Read the track watchers and Club reviews recently.

Well, we now have 13 with the signing of Jack Henderson and I’ve put him on equal footing next to his Werribee mate AJ. It’s a case of sight unseen but I put him there because of our small forward shortage in the absence of Kozzie, McAdam and the slow pace of Spargo returning to full fitness. Don’t know if Henderson trains today but next Saturday should be of interest.

1. Harvey Langford 
2. Xavier Lindsay 
3. Harry Sharp 
4 (eq). Jack Henderson, Aidan Johnson  
6. Matt Jefferson 
7. Tom Campbell 
8. Tom Fullarton
9. Oliver Sestan 
10. Jed Adams
11. Will Verrall
12. Ricky Mentha Jnr
13. Luker Kentfield

Good lord, the quality of trolling on this site has fallen off a cliff.

He hasn’t participated in a contact training session all summer and has relapsed with his injury. 2025 looks the same as 2024. His contract expires at the end of the year. Do you think management would risk him for 2026?

According to JT, he's a ready-made replacement for ANB.

An additional player and a little change as a result of the outstanding 4 goal performance of Harry Sharp, rivalled by Harvey Langford’s good form with Xavier Lindsay not far behind.

I have the field as follows -

1. Harvey Langford 
2. Harry Sharp 
3. Xavier Lindsay 
4 (eq). Jack Henderson, Aidan Johnson  
6. Matt Jefferson 
7 (eq). Tom Campbell, Jai Culley 
9. Jed Adams 
10. Oliver Sestan 
11. Tom Fullarton 
12. Will Verrall 
13. Ricky Mentha Jnr 
14. Luker Kentfield

Is that true about the injury relapse? I am shattered for him. A sad story if he doesn't get back

No he hasn't he's back to full training after a calf complaint. Could play a VFL game this week.

 

According to my best 23 Sharp, Langford, Jefferson and Lindsay all play.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
