Steven King had a great first season as Melbourne's coach, and they might make the finals.

Melbourne's win over Fremantle was very impressive.

It showed that Melbourne is a strong team and can win the championship.

For Steven King, it proved he is a top coach and might win an award.

This is a big deal because another coach, Justin Longmuir, is also doing well.

Christian Petracca left Melbourne last year.

When Melbourne fired their old coach and lost some good players, nobody thought they would do well this year.

Now they are fighting for a top spot and have scored a lot of points in their last few games.

Melbourne has a new plan but still uses some old ideas.

The players at Melbourne believe they can win.

Harrison Petty said, 'If we play our way, we can beat anyone. Our coach, King, makes us believe this.'

Melbourne plays a tough game but also tries to have fun. This year, they changed their style and it's working.

After beating Fremantle, King thanked the old coach for laying the groundwork.

Simon Goodwin was fired last August.

King said, 'I think you missed what was already working here.'

He reminded everyone that Melbourne won a championship five years ago.

The team's statistics show that King's approach is working.

There have been many changes in the AFL rules this year, and some fans like them while others do not.

Melbourne already had a good midfield, but now they are even better at moving the ball.

This year, under King, Melbourne has improved in many areas despite losing some key players.

The only area they struggle in is defense.

The question is, can King win the coach of the year award over Longmuir?

To be coach of the year, you have to overcome challenges or lead the best team. King and Longmuir both have strong cases.

Longmuir has done a great job with the Dockers, taking them from sixth to first place.

Longmuir has been lucky with few injuries, and many of his players will likely be in the All-Australian squad.

It's hard to argue against Longmuir being the best coach when his team has had so much success.

Most coaches who win the award go on to have more success, including winning championships.

Some teams, like Hawthorn, are using old strategies again, like having two ruckmen.

Most winners of the coach of the year award have improved their team's position in the league.

Winning the coach of the year award often means a team will have future success, including championships.

The debate over who should win will continue, but neither coach is worried.

Longmuir's team is favored to win the championship but recently lost a game.

King's team feels like a dark horse that could win the championship.
