    Is the direction of the club clear this year yet? Is King trying to contend? I’m not interested in players like Melksham, McDonald, Salem and Lever continuing to play to help drag us to a wildcard final. What’s that achieve? We clearly won’t win the whole thing this year, those players aren’t going to be in the side in 27’ and 28’, so it’s time to accept there may be a couple more losses and start playing their replacements NOW, to fast track the future. Kentfield, Jefferson and Taylor are the ones I’ve got my eyes on.

    We are very short on KP defenders.

    It has been raised previously that AJ may we worthy of a trial there, as he is up against it contending as a KP forward or as a 'second ruck'.

    Thoughts?? I realise he will need to learn a new role, but is it worth a try?

    Same could apply for JVR and or Jeffo

    Gotta give Jeffo the same extended run as a key forward as JVR has enjoyed.

    Gawn - only shining light

    K Pickett - few magical moments

    Lever - slow and uncertain

    Langford - rarely looked interested

    Turner - our best defender

    Steele - prolific without dominating

    McDonald - cumbersome and ineffective

    Windsor - overrated and underperforming

    Sharp - disappeared second half

    Sparrow - limited and loose

    Culley - Casey level footballer

    Mihocek - old man performance

    Melksham - occasion to forget

    Petty - better second half

    Fritsch - hair wasn’t gelled

    Chandler - had little involvement

    vanRooyen - must be dropped

    Howes - generally effective game

    L Pickett - far from ready

    Lindsay - some mindless disposals

    Langdon - career at crossroads

    Tholstrup - reverted to schoolboy

    Today’s team - looked painfully slow

    JVR, THOSTRUP, LINDSAY, LATRELLE, T.MAC...

    Worse than shocking!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
