With 3 talls and Fritsch forward and 5 mids (Viney, Tracc, Oliver, Riv, Langdon) I think we need to start both Sharp and Lindsay on the wings and Henderson across half forward.

Langford is the sub for mine.

You need a plan for Lachie Whitfield and co that isn’t serving up a one paced 19 year old midfielder at half forward on debut.

you forgot sparrow

    How many of the debutants will kick goals? Jeffo definitely.

    He might, but in the match meeting did anyone else get a sense of real cameraderie at Jeffo's debut announcement!

    That’s just 11 players who represented the club in our last AFL premiership outing! Bring it on! (Round 25 1994)

    I'm struggling to find the high half forward who is going to run the corridor defence to Forward and back again (ANB role).   I guess it has to be Sparrow.  Sharp has the tank but not really hard enough in defence.

    Really. WOW. 

     Sharp is faster, good endurance, and better kicking skills than ANB.

    What we will miss from ANB is that gut running and his leadership qualities.

    The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

    • Under 23: 8 players
    • 23 to 27: 7
    • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
    • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

    This is close to the perfect balance IMHO. (Maybe less U/23 and more 23 to 27 if we're winning premierships)

    They announced it last !
    Made him work for it.

    Agree a great vibe when he was announced.

    This speaks to the idea of change in the club, faith shown in the recruits and a chance for us to be very different than last year.

    Yes and no. 3 of those changes have been forced through the unavailability of Kozzie, McVee and Thostrup, all of whom would have certainly been playing, plus probably Turner. Not to mention the departure of ANB, without even considering Melksham and Spargo, both injured/not ready.

    Not quite the radical shakeup, we actually have a lot of injuries and are just covering them.

    Not complaining either, but not sure how many of these debutantes will be able to hold their spots once the regulars are available.

    Not a huge fan of how many debutants we have. It smacks a bit of desperation, though admittedly I've not seen much from anyone who is debuting.

    I’m sorry about the way I phrased that… I meant in our last game for points! Oh hell, our last game!

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
