Steven King is making a bold case for coach of the year after leading Melbourne to a dominant win over Fremantle — proving they’re not just contenders but a rising force, even without key stars like Petracca and Oliver. Building on Simon Goodwin’s foundation, King has elevated ball movement and team cohesion while pushing them toward a top-four finish. Though defense needs work, his rapid transformation and ability to inspire amid adversity make him a standout candidate. With Justin Longmuir’s Fremantle also elite, King’s achievement — turning a depleted side into a powerhouse in record time — challenges traditional definitions of coaching excellence. Past winners often go on to win premierships, and King’s team is now firmly in the mix as a serious threat.
