    Play the kids and it will benefit the club enormously. Should have happened earlier in the season and I said so in this forum. All these young fellas have real talent but there is only one way to get experience. With our injury list such as it is, we now will have to play them more often, but this is only the beginning of something good. At least some of the young ones will chase and put pressure on opponents who have the ball. Congrats to our recruiters who seem to have spotted some unrealised talent. Now just give 'em playing time! I totally agree dd36.

    I doubt you will get much argument, but they still need to EARN the jumper! I don't want it just given out.

    I fear we may only have 22 fit players before long.......

    For sure it was great to see them play today BUT we were playing Carlton. Against more experienced teams they may not get as much time to shine. That will be the true test of their future for us.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      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.
