McLean used to watch Essendon train.

He's been quoted as saying he didn't support any team.

Franklin is no doubt a good player in the making but he has no right foot and IMO he will never be as good as he could be

He plays CHF which in itself requires all the skills

What amazes me is how many players some people call STARS dont have hand and foot skills on both sides of their bodies by the time they reach the AFL recruitment stage

Its certainly improved over the years but to me Soccer leads the way in this basic skill requirement for those wanting to play at the top level

To the topic over who you supported as a kid ?

Absolutley no rellavence at all these days

not that we'd have wanted him ... but I seem to remember that when he was drafted by brisbane & asked about his childhood allegiance. N. Buckley said Melbourne. Of course, Collingwood had that expunged from the record books. all lifelong supporters down there!

We will probably get him late in his career, pay him heaps and he will do nothing for us but sap that money, looking forward to his retirement

And Brock McLean a Bombers supporter, David Schwarz a Hawks supporter.............the list can go on and on.

Unless it's father / son, has club supported as a kid ever really mattered?

Agreed , why do people even bother posting this type of stuff

It's strange to think that not that long ago he was one of us following the Dees through all their (very few) highs and lows.

I'd love to see a team made up of Melbourne supporting players, it would be interesting to see.

- S. Buckley

- Judd

- Franklin

- Pendlebury (?)

- Moloney

Who else?

Tarkyn Lockyer im pretty sure was a melbourne supporter

I'm surprised you didn't put yourself in at CHF instead

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
