    Try Turner, Bowey, Langford, Lindsay and Kozzy. This is the next core.

    Turners development has been one of the rare highlights this season. Pick 22 of the 2021 mid-season draft. Great find from our recruiters. Fingers crossed Luker can follow in his footsteps.

    He definitely has forward potential too, but it's pretty clear he's going to become an excellent defender, if he isn't already.

    Yep, because Jeremy Cameron would dominate at CHB. Just because he is having a great season behind the ball doesnt mean you dont even try him ahead of the ball. But Simon says its a better process to watch us lose the same way every week with the same deficiencies.

    mate when a young player finds his feet in a position and is also playing to a very high level, only a fool would move him

    but yeah blame the coach for developing another quality talent. and a rookie pick at that

    Insanity to keep trying the same experiment (Petty/Disco). Just keep the guys in the backline.

    May is on his last legs.

    Lever is flaky.

    Disco and Petty could be the duo that takes us to the next flag.

    Petty down back with TMac, throw Turner and May forward for the last few games. Turner actually has some idea how to play as a leading forward and May can play deep, taking the best key defender. That might reduce the pressure on one of the newbies like Jeffo, if we want to persist with him.

    Dub, you mean like moving a firing winger to the back flank? Would that be dumb too?

    Disco could be a great forward but I think he has AA potential as a defender who swings forward when needed

    He’s also added much needed speed as a tall defender - an attribute Lever and May don’t have

    As much as we need another key fwd or two we don’t want to keep robbing Peter to pay Paul to do so

    Caleb's first year was overrated as most fans often do with first year kids but also the wing is a low value position. The highest value outside runners play half back. Karl Amon at Hawthorn for instance. Or NWM at St Kilda who spent year 1 on the wing and then moved back. Caleb doesn't kick the ball like those guys but his counter attack run can be of similar value. Plus he has to develop his game in multiple roles. If we're going to get full value for the pick we took him at he needs to end up playing on ball like Max Holmes and Bailey Smith, half back is good education for that.

    That's very different to moving a developing key position player who's finding his rhythm. Especially when moving forward means moving to our forward line aka death valley.

    hear you mate but I reckon Windsor learning how to defend will benefit him greatly in the next 12 years. We love his pace and run but the club clearly see an area he needs to improve in.

    I'd play him forward or on the wing or midfield. At least he can read the play and is clean with his disposal. I don"t think it matters where you play him

    FFS, yet another positive, enjoyable thread derailed by people wanting to knock goody. Can they at least stick to the knock Goody thread?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
