No one likes seeing a turnover but the positive of that is the emphasis on defence from the oppo in those situations. Ferocity/pressure and giving it all to cause/create turnovers is what will make our game style quicker (which is what most of us want) -
Scary thought re Kozzy being a full time mid when our small forwards are pretty much non-existent outside him. We really lack a ‘crumber’/spark once Koz exits that forward line. Hope it’s something in the target list through draft/trade in the next year or 2.

0 as a tall forward option. He’s a back up ruck, that’s all. We saw how that went with Grundy. I believe Jeffo will take the leap and take the spot but we will see. Sharp has been in full training. Reckon that wing spot is his with Langdon on the other with Windsor off halfback.
-
Can say with some knowledge of the situation that Kirkwood-Scott had multiple interviews with our recruitment team in the lead up to the draft if a list spot became available. Clear interest from us to see how he develops in our program so definitely one to keep an eye on. Noah Yze has also signed with Casey for 2025.

Don’t mind this other than Campbell. We lack a tall forward option. Jeffo or AJ straight in for him (as good as TC may have trained). Or the coaches put Petty forward and bring Tmac as the defender. Also think Sharp and Lindsay will be very close to the mark if not in the side.

‘Jed McVeigh’ being Judd McVee? 😂 interesting that you called his midfield shift “baffling”? if we don’t eventually play him as a midfielder, another club will pay him big money to be an on baller for them.

Delisted Eagles player Jai Culley (number 1 pick in the 2022 mid season draft) will train with us over summer (like Roy George) after signing with Casey for 2025.
Max doesn’t do much wrong but this may be the consistent one. Unless when in play he’s having a shot on goal from outside 50, please handball it😂
Pickett’s uncle to train with Dees amid AFL interest Confirmation in the Herald Sun that Kozzy Pickett’s uncle Roy George will train with us despite us not having a list spot and him not being eligible to join as a category B rookie. The club is “open minded” about giving him a list spot if a long term injury occurs over preseason.
Anyone could remind Judd that all 17 other clubs overlooked him and it was the then Premiers who took the punt on him at pick 18 in the rookie draft😉
Melbourne are prepared to offer Judd a deal to 2029 like they did with JVR. They’ll be happy to accomodate another 2 years though if that’s all he wants. He’s very happy at the club and also has a partner who plays in AFLW side.
Until his actions prove it *unfortunately for him* there will be a lot of scepticism and doubt.
We do have 1 cat b list spot but as discussed Roy wouldn’t qualify as a category b rookie which makes sense. I hope we don’t sign him simply because that’ll mean we stay long term injury free
Funniest part of Jay’s *original* article was that he made 0 mention of Bayley Fritsch at all in its first release. I guess he got the editor to put him in😂
He literally got omitted after the 50 point loss to Fremantle at Optus. He played VFL the next week when we lost to the Giants by 2 points. He was bought back against the Dogs. He got injured against the Suns and didn’t play in the last game against the Pies. Get your facts right at least.
Agree with this. Pre season Sparrow always flatters to deceive. Not sure he’s a walk up start anymore and the fact he was *finally* omitted last season shows that.
He is yes. Tied to our NGA.
To be fair to Tommy he’s always been in great shredded nick.
👀
He was their executive general manager of football from 2019 to this year. Moved back to Melbourne end of 23’ for family reasons. In the running for the Pies job as head of footy but wants to be a CEO ultimately.
Charlie Gardiner would have to be under consideration for our CEO role no doubt. Cut from the Sydney cloth as an administrator and we know how well they’re run.
Langford eyeing a few numbers down the order in 2026 I reckon 😂 Also, number 34 kept open for another year. #Kalaniwatch
