Stringer looks lean, fit and angry and could make a massive difference if they make finals. The Bummers absolutely stuffed up his training and fitness management. GWS looking potent v the Cats.

    Absolutely he’s fitness. Thus the good kicks in pressure situations

    Playing beyond Fatigue and still nailing a kick, Mark or Handball

    That’s Fitness Dub….

    Cats are playing horribly. After 4 early goals they’ve kicked 2 in 2 quarters

    Does play some part but the majority of kicking is skill. A lot of it you’re born with like Rankine, Dawson etc and the rest is junior coaching

    Their skills in the first half before major fatigue was unbelievably good

    I agree. But after Halftime is when the Burgess Training shines

    Players can still execute to a high level without fatigue

    It’s exactly what the MFC lack right now.

    That 1-2% of extra Fitness we had as a list in ‘21

    Adelaide are a serious chance at a Flag this year….

    The Club tried very hard to get Cadman, but it was impossible….

    Can't blame the Bummers fitness dept.
    He only got himself fit during contract years.
    Same at the bulldogs.

    outside the 8 with 11 wins with 6 games to go!

    14 (maybe 15) wins is a minimum for finals this year!

    Is every game going to have dominant big men kicking 6 goals?

    Looks like it's finally clicked for Cadman. Good for him, it's exciting to see.

    Hopefully Jeffo takes a leaf or two out of his book.

    The thing that [censored] me about this is the AFL have endorsed this kind of action (ref. Pendlebury let off for striking Lachie Neale in the solar plexus with open palm in recent years, etc.).

    Now a similar action has led to a player suffering a collapsed lung. Striking is striking, irrespective of whether it is via fist or palm. Well done AFL, this is on you.

    Wish the Dees had a youngster like Cadman. Just looks like a player. A footballer. A goalkicker. Somehow we have to get a key forward one day who just looks like he knows what the game is about.

    Check your sums again, grasshopper.

    If Freo wins, the Bulldogs will be in 9th spot on 40 points.

      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.
