    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
