    He speaks so well.

    Really really thrilled to hear that we're getting more support and development staff around the place. He said we'll have 2 development coaches next year, and I think this year we had none.

    Also said that we're looking, over the next 3 years, to bring a group of young players together. So quite clearly, we are not in a premiership mode.

    I thought it was quite instructive that he told a tale from his early days at Freo that convinced him about ALWAYS taking the best player available in the draft.

    Dont worry about filling holes or worrying about players going home.

    Hmm. He was there when we recruited Luke Molan, maybe he was outvoted at the time.

    The one ond only time that the previous coach overruled his decsion.

    He wasn't outvoted - drafting doesn't go to a vote. He was vetoed. Big difference. I'll never blame CAC for Molan.

    Could you expand on this? What happened?

    Ditto... I didn't know Daniher vetoed CAC.

    Also can somebody summarise what CAC said? I'd be keen to hear, from the horses mouth, what approach we're taking into the draft and 08.

    Im glad to hear that, it always seems to bite you in the ass when you dont.

    That's news to me. I know they did on one player we drafted but it wasn't Molan.

    Excellent! Thanks Demonland and Alpha33.

    • 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.
