May not be a need (and always wary of taking any opponent lightly), but might be a reaaaallly good opportunity to let Moose take 60% of the ruck and manage Max's minutes to give him a lighter load this week.

Happy with this (although they really need to get on with formalising - wondering if NGA eligibility changes are tied to this process):

Yep @whatwhat say what , brother of Harvey: (1) More history for the Gippsland League was... - Gippsland League | Facebook Early doors, but draft does look to have some quality. I'm hoping the AFL don't cave to pressure and just make the changes to bidding rules now, will mean Carlton pay fair price for Cody Walker & Port pay fair price for Cochrane. Even though they haven't been formally confirmed, we've known they were coming for 2 years, clubs complaining about timing are essentially upset that they're not getting as big a free hit as the Queensland clubs.

The * represents players out with injury, the ^ will be players called up as injury replacements. Can’t work out why Neocleous wasn’t in the original squad. Kenh is tied to WC academy & Armstrong is Tiges NGA.

I’ve never seen anything from Ralphsmith that derides Melbourne (or any club for that matter).

Flash Davey was on fire that game as well!

Very well represented in the Ponsford Stand. And loud!

We could via the mid-season draft, SSP signing period is now closed.

Would imagine he'll have as strong an insight into the Tassie Devil list concessions and associated rules as anyone, which will be more than handy as we navigate over the next 3 years.

If McMillan got to us that would be outstanding, but would be happy with Russo or Bowering at pick 9: 2025 AFLW Draft Preview: Melbourne - Aussie Rules Rookie Me Central

I just knew it'd be Guerra when I saw the headline.

@Pennant St Dee will tell you that Heath Mellody is one to keep both eyes on for next year's draft, now a Mellody/Malady double would be something!

Endurance and defensive running were the criticisms that seemed to go around, but are very much things a player can improve in an AFL environment. Loved his game against the Allies this year and there is more than enough to work with. An exciting get!

I do like watching him wheel on to that left foot in this clip. Can see him putting his running capacity to good use here as well.
