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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
