    Opinion Major changes for 2023

    List 'em here. For me, it's gotta be the KPFs. Brown and Melk need to be replaced asap, preferably with McDonald and JVR or even Petty permanently. Or if we can snag one in the trade period. Secondly we need better kicks in the team. Bowey is best 22 and Laurie needs to be given time. That's...

    Universal Love Overlooked/unheralded moments from the GF

    I'm sure we've all watched endless highlights and replays of the premiership, but which under-the-radar moments caught your eye the second (or third, or 10th!) time around? For me, it's Kozzie Picket's shepherd on Dunkley to give Trac just enough breathing space to dribble through his second...

    Opinion Most improved 2021

    Who do we think has improved the most this year so far? A few decent candidates. I’d go Petty, going from fringe depth to a key part of our back six (and a lot more room to grow), just ahead of Spargo and ANB. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

    New ESPN AFL podcast

    Apologies for the gratuitous plug but the Australian ESPN team, alongside Footytips, have launched a new podcast for this season featuring our AFL writers as well as one of Champion Data's leading analysts. This week, we discuss Jordan De Goey's standing in the league, take a deep dive into...

    'Internal' recruits

    While the trade and draft period always bring about questions about new faces, line-ups, best 22s etc, there are always some surprises/changes with existing players form year to year. Heading into next season, here's a few things I'll be watching for over summer and some potential 'internal'...

    Recommitted Dom Tyson

    A lot of discussion among Melbourne fans about our imbalanced midfield. We simply have too many inside mids - Viney, Oliver, Jones, Tyson, Lewis, Vince, and eventually you'd assume Petracca and Brayshaw slide in there too. Of those listed, Tyson would be the one I'd like to see offered up for...

    Tasmania Riewoldt calls on AFL to give Tassie its own team

    Really strong stuff from Nick Riewoldt today: The league made a commitment to grow the game in western Sydney and Queensland and the concessions and financial backing the Giants and Suns were given shows the league would not let them fail. I understand the business case behind the decision to...

    Roast THAT third quarter

    I wasn't able to watch a second of the game today but was following the scores online here and there. So I'm asking those at the game or who watched at home - WTF happened in that third quarter? I'm really disappointed that A) Our leaders couldn't turn the tide when the game was going against...

    The Dangerwood conundrum

    We all know how damaging Dangerwood are and every club would crawl over broken glass to have a pairing like that. But is a reliance on two superstars a worry, compared to an even spread of contributors? This article tries to examine the issue ... and it's interesting that Richmond seems to be...

    Top five most important players

    So, I had a debate with a couple of Dees supporting mates about who our top five most important players are - as in, if you had to put five names in a 'do not trade under any circumstances' basket, who would they be? We all had Hogan, Petracca and Viney in our top five, but some of the other...

    Opinion If we made it, who'd you want to play?

    If we somehow managed it, who'd you prefer to play in an elimination final? I'd love to play the Cats again straight after beating them, or perhaps the Eagles in Perth. Worst case would be Dogs at Etihad, imo.

    Awesome inside access from Dees v Lions

    Guys, do yourselves a favour and take a look at the behind-the-scenes pictures from Sunday's game: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-05-24/capturing-the-melbourne-moments I think my favourite is Maxy studying the No.11 on his jumper pre-match.

    Player Watch #3 Christian Salem

    I know we all love Salem and rate his potential, but is he doing enough at the moment? And possibly more to the point, are we using him in the best way? 13 touches, three tackles today. 15 touches, five tackles against GWS. I know we're trying to make him our go-to quarterback player because...

    Nick Riewoldt: How the game has changed since 2000

    Interesting insight from Roo about how the game has changed since he was drafted - both on and off the field. Reading between the lines, you can tell Riewoldt is just like us fans in pining for the halcyon days of the early 2000s: I miss watching and participating in the one-on-one battles...

    Traded Jack Redden [traded to West Coast for pick 17]

    Strong whispers that Jack Redden may be weighing up his future at the Lions. He is contracted for next year. Very solid inside mid, tackles like a maniac, 24yo, but seems to have slightly dropped his output in recent seasons... Not sure if he's any chance of actually leaving but which teams...

    Traded #30: Alex Neal-Bullen – traded to the Crows for pick 28, thanks for everything Nibbler

    I didn't get to see the game last weekend (probably a good thing) but just wondering how ANB went in his debut? I see he got 11 touches but for those who watched, how'd he go?

    The Frawley conundrum

    Just back from the ground and have been thinking about Frawley. I'm a bit confused to be honest. We know what a gun he is as a defender, and he's been probably good-to-handy as a forward since moving up the ground. Today he had 11 marks but no goals and only one tackle and certainly didn't look...

    Our midfield: officially the worst

    We all already know how bad our midfield is, but this makes for some tough reading: Melbourne has had just one player average more than 25 disposals per game for a season in the past five years. It wasn't Nathan Jones in 2012. It wasn't Brent Moloney in 2011. It wasn't James McDonald. It was...

    Our kick-ins: a continual state of hopelessness

    We've all harped on about it for years, and here is the proof: We are horrible at kick-ins and, in a surprise to no-one, our 'kick it long to Jamar on the flank' strategy that's been in place for 4 or 5 years is hardly a winner. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-04-19/go-up-the-guts

    Our horrific midfield, and recruiting decisions

    There are so many issues with our club at the moment but one obvious on-field problem is our midfield. Yes, we've been unlucky with some midfield picks that didn't work for different reasons (Scully, Gysberts, Morton etc) but it's been obvious for years our midfield is devoid of talent and...
