- 9 Reasons to be Positive Heading into 2025
After becoming premiers in 2021, and occupying top four finishes in the last three years, 2024 was a completely different story for the Dees. Melbourne finished 14th in 2024, with significant off-field issues weighing them down. But Cam Luke has nine positives for Melbourne fans, urging them to sit tight and remain optimistic heading into 2025. 1. Max Gawn โI think sometimes we underrate people because the standards they set for themselves are so high, and we take certain things for granted," Cam Luke said on AFL Trade Radio. โAFL fans should not take Max Gawn for granted. โHe played pretty much with a broken leg in the last month. โWe talk about inspirational leaders and captains in the AFL; if thereโs any in front of Max Gawn it is a very small number. โHe leads this football club by example. He has had to answer a million questions at the Melbourne Football Club. โHe fronts up, he talks about it, he wears his heart on his sleeve. โHe is the best ruckman in the league and this is by far the best positive โ that Max Gawn is their captain.โ 2. Caleb Windsor โHe was good this year. He was probably a bit low in the rising star. โItโs never easy to wander into a club that has had success and be good straight away. "To be able to crack into a team like that, Caleb Windsor deserves a pat on the back." 3. Jacob Van Rooyen โHe kind of got thrown into it once Luke Jackson left the club. โIt is not easy for a young kid to carry a lot of responsibility, they havenโt got their forward line mix right, which we understand. โI think there are ups and downs, and I donโt think we accept the ups and downs of Van Rooyen as we do for other forwards." 4. Easier fixture next year โTheyโve had a hard fixture; theyโve had to do it a harder way. โThe last three years theyโve been in the top 4, they were a premier, back-to-back top 4 positions. โIn 2025 that wonโt happen, they finished bottom 5 and next year, away they go.โ __5. Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver are not leaving_ โThey are not leaving. If you are a Melbourne fan you should sit there and tell yourself, they are going to go back to their level. โWhy would you be pessimistic about Petracca and Oliver at your football club next year? โWeโve seen players want out before and play good footy. โThese players are two of the best greatest Demons of all time; Petracca is a Norm Smith medallist and has two best and fairests. He was having a great year before he got hurt. โClayton Oliver has four best and fairests. โLook on the bright side that these two men are in your colours next year and can bounce back. โDonโt be glass half empty, be glass half full.โ 6. Judd McVee 7. Trent Rivers 8. Jake Lever and Steven May โI am touching wood that they can stay fit and healthy and, on the park, because if they do that means defensively, they will rarely ever get beat.โ 9. They can make the top eight next year โI think they will make the eight. โI will make a bet with you that they make the eight next year.โ- 2024 Player Reviews: #19 Josh Schache

Date of Birth: 25 February 1996 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 42 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 12 Signed by the club in October 2015 as a Category B rookie, it took years for the injury prone Smith to rise to the status of a regular player in 2023. However, a post season suspension from a positive drug-test sample taken after a game late in the season and issues raised during its investigation appear to have placed question marks on his AFL future. In light of the nature of the circumstances surrounding Smithโs situation, this thread is locked.- 2024 Player Reviews: #43 Kyah Farris-White

- Dan Houston
VIC POWERHOUSE ALL BUT RULED OUT OF HOUSTON RACE Carlton appear almost certainly out of the race for dual All-Australian Dan Houston, as Collingwoodโs bid for the Power star strengthens. The Herald Sunโs Jon Ralph reported on Thursday morning that given the Bluesโ assurance they will head to the draft with their first-round pick, their ability to acquire Houston at an optimal price for Port Adelaide seems long gone. Subsequently, it now looks as if only the Magpies and North Melbourne can move him out of Alberton. And while the Kangaroos are obviously behind the Pies in the pecking order, their favourable draft hand and openness to trade a future first-round pick leaves them still in the hunt. Joe Richardsโ request to leave Collingwood for Port Adelaide has assisted the Piesโ negotiations on Houston significantly, with Ralph also reporting that โextensive meetingsโ have taken place between the Power, Magpies and Houstonโs management in the last 24 hours. Houston has not officially nominated a club of choice, but it is the understanding of most at this stage that Collingwood is a preferred destination.- Things are "a bit of a mess" according to Shane Woewodin

- REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs
Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue. The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace. The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week against St Kilda. Despite having a 100% winning record at Norwood (hmmm, only the one game), we are longshots with the bookies this week. However, Kate Hore and Tyla Hanks led brilliantly last week from the centre square alongside Heathy, Mitho and Fitzy. Letโs hope the team can back it up to celebrate Kateโs 75th game! Maeve Chaplin is having a stellar season (Libby who?), and 50-game milestoner Sinead Goldrick has been energised all year and are two key components of the new-look Demon defence. While the Dees were really encouraging last week, we should note that GWS, our opposition, was one of the least experienced teams in this yearโs competition. This weekโs challenger Adelaide is a heavyweight of the competition and will surely be wanting to make a statement for their home crowd. Selection this week Just one change with the indefatigable Eliza McNamara in and debutant defender Delany Madigan omitted. Experienced top-up player Sarah DโArcy keeps her spot. Meggs was enthused by her work against GWS. Demon emergencies this week are Madigan, Jemma Rigoni and Saraid Taylor. The Crows have lost 3 players to injury: Teah Charlton,Hannah Munyard, and Abbie Ballard Lily Tarlinton will make her AFLW debut in their absence, while both Taylah Levy and Rachelle Martin have been recalled after being managed last week. Meggsโ view Eliza McNamara, who looks like sheโs preparing early for Halloween with those black eyes, is a welcome return on the wing. Adelaideโs Niamh Kelly is a real danger for the Dees. In the last game against the Crows, St Kilda threw players behind the ball to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and making it a tough physical game. This worked to a point, but it meant that the Saints werenโt able engage in run and carry to counterattack. But it was only a 4-point margin in the end. Our scoring will likely rely on Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano getting busy again. At the other end Tahlia Gillard will need to be on her A-game as dangerous tall forward Caitlin Gould has kicked 7 goals in her last 4 games. The midfield battle and centre clearances usually determine results, and Adelaide has strong experienced bodies in Anne Hatchard and Ebony Marinoff to name two. Wednesday evening will be a huge test for the Dees. Hopefully we can surprise on the upside with a competitive performance but allow for the fact we have a long list of high-quality players unavailable. Go Dees!

Midfield beasts Hatchard and Marinoff led the way as the Crows kicked 6 unanswered goals. Deep in the third quarter and against the run of play, Eliza McNamara kicked a desperately needed running goal to halt the momentum. Melbourne fights back to within 3 points in the last quarter with Zanker on fire but Caitlin Gould goals and we fall short by 10 points. THE TEAMS MELBOURNE B Colvin Gillard HB Chaplin D.
