    Maybe, but does he show composure?

    And I would be concerned that he may leave some of his work unfinished.

    I can’t see how or why the media draft journos and amateur draft podsters are all keen on Schubert to go to the Dees

    In my opinion …

    He’s shown ability to mark and cover ground as a mobile tall. He’s got forward ability with reach and marking.

    But he’s raw. He turns over the footy with lack of composure. His kicking is average. His goalkicking run in is stuttering and not unlike Jesse Hogan but without the solid finish. He needs time. At least a few years of development. I also think there was no real quality tall defenders in the Under 18 championship which helped some of these young forwards look better.

    I think we have a few young developing tall forwards, and even if we needed young talls, young Vic pair Louis Emmett and Archie Ludowkye would be better options.

    Not sure on the selection here. Depends how we rate our existing young KPFs and how we rate him. The 5 person interchange gives us an extra forward ruck him and JVR as a 2nd ruck. Now listed as 198cm may grows a tad more.

    Depends to some extent whether King wants a fresh forward look. Kosi mainly mid dropping forward, Dovestan to move into a forward role. Petty to go back and maybe Schubert to play that extra tall crash agile KPF/ruck?

    Has all the right plusses except rookie me suggest composure needs improvement.

    In the end it will probably be where we rate him in the draft and how we rate our up and comer KPF's. We have 2, 1st rounders next year. It also depends to some smaller extent what is available 1st round next year.

    With outrageous money being paid to bring a good player in probably best not to pinch a proven KPF/ruck from another club.

    No way we could afford to pay a De Koning type salary.

    I am not ruling him out.

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
