    Two former MFC Brownlow medalists who both love the red and the blue.

    Don't forget that Woey didn't really want to go to the filth..it was just that his post-brownlow contract was savagely back ended we couldn't really afford to keep him anymore.

    I believe that when Woey got married [during his filth career] most of the AFL related guests were MFC...where his heart lies.

    He was also starting to plateau and deteriorate as a football and the brave and correct decision to trade him should have been applied to others at the senior end of list that collect their cheques and clog our list.

    Its great he is doing whatever he can to support the red and blue. However I dont see a strategic role for him at MFC beside being a public face supporting our membership drive next year. he still has alot of connection with MFC supporters.

    Good luck Woey.

    He did his best to publicly ridicule the club at any opportunity he had while he was at Collingwood, how quickly people forget.

    No one has forgotten. It serves no purpose to harbour on it

    For the good of the Club's future I am happy to have him back in the fold to support the new administration. If can add support there are many supporters who are still fond of Woey and he may have some traction with them.

    You miss my point, Woey has demonstrated time and time again that he talks first before thinking his actions through, I'm not sure someone of his level of intelligence would be of great benefit to a club in our position. Even as recent as last weekend he was making comments about 'barracking for Collingwood', he is hardly a Melbourne man like Stynes, Greg Healy, Gary Lyon etc.

    Source? I dont think so.

    Perhaps it was mearly becuse he ws at the 150 celebration and Jim is a mate from his playing days.

    Yeah I did sorry :(

    I agree with your assessment though of him. Fantastic on the field in his early years but a little restricted off it at times!

    I hope Jimmy is a vanguard to at least get more ex players to rally around and engender support for the Club.

    Anything that gets past MFC players to help the club in any capacity is a plus in my opinion.

    Something Garry suffers from is he's everywhere in the media, meaning people expect him to do more.

    Anything that past players can do is very welcome in my mind.

    Hope to see Woey around, how quickly we forget he was a favourite son, no, just joking, we always remember

    Precisely. He is a Brownlow Medalist AND with the Melbourne Football Club. If he wants to provide assistance, then so be it. A lot of supporters still love him therefore, however he can help sign up members - let him help.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
