Yes, it is early in the season for this kind of talk, but Starcevich I think should have a thread just to remind us to monitor his progress through the season and develop a clear picture.

It is possible he'll be interested, possible he'll be reasonably priced, possible Brisbane will have other salary cap priorities, and possible he would add an extra set of fast legs to our team, and in particular be someone capable of closing down an opposition small-medium forward, which is a particular deficiency of ours ever since Neville Jetta retired.

Some links to get it started - including a draft profile which has proven remarkably precise relative to how Starcevich's career has panned out so far;

Stats

 

Would be a perfect fit in our defense. However, if he was to move, I think he'd be likely to head home to WA.

we certainly need some mongrel down back since Hibbo retired

Would be a good get

 

He'd be very handy. Why would he leave Brisbane? Former F/S too.

Brandon is not an FS, he’s the nephew of Craig

whats an fs

 

FS - Father-Son (doesn't apply to Starcevich though).

Good footballer, rate him, good traditional Croatian surname to boot 🇭🇷


A guy I’d just ADORE at MFC…

 

Wants to play midfield in years ahead and why not, but for us he’d be a great pick up more as a small back which we’re dying for at present!

 

Tough, low-key good kick, has an aura about him — why not have a crack dees haha

Thanks for the correction mate.

I used to be a God, a nuffy mere mortal these days.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
