Cheney is looking forward to playing with his red nut blood brother - Blease.

It will be a magical day when all the Indigenous boys play for MFC alongside Watts, Grimes, Morton, Blease, Strauss, Rivers and Mclean.

Your post was magical until you got to McLean.

You got a problem with Chook?

If a player plays two bad games, he is not worth mentioning apparently.

The bloke was second in the bluey last year after playing 12 games, but that stands for nothing in some peoples minds.

Support on this forum is so fickle. Mclean is one of the few who tries his guts out and genuinely competes at AFL level.

My god some supporters are fickle. He is not Judd but don't bag him for two games that were poor.


Well done to Aaron.

He is a leader and has been a great servant of the club so far and our most exciting player.

Let's hope he plays a hundred more.

Yeah cos McLean is [censored]..............................pffft

back on topic

Well done Flash, have a good game and give 'em hell!

 

Congratulations to Aaron for his 100th game.....

Hopefully it will be a stellar performance and one that will be remembered.

And with all luck we will get to see a lot more of that "flash" in games to come!!!

I hope we see Flash running down the wing into the forward line dodging and weaving as only he can do it for another 100 games.


I have been disappointed in his last couple of years but I do like him playing more in the back half he gives us something we have not got in the back half which is a player who can run the lines and use the ball well hopefully they will keep him there.

I don't know if I'm alone in thinking this but Davey was sensational last week. By far-and-away our best player. Here's hoping his 100th is just as good!

Certainly one of the most exciting players in the league when on top form and in full flight. A joy to watch. Personally I think he has the potential to be one of the best players in the league. He sort of plateau-ed a little bit in '07 and '08 I thought but he can still improve and we know how good his best is already. He's still only 25. Eight good seasons to come!

My Davey highlight (so far):

One of our matches in June/July 2006, when the World Cup was on the Socceroos were the talk of the town, Davey kicked a goal from 40 metres out, directly out of the air. Goooaaaaallll!

Congrats to Flash on making 100 games. Very good for someone to come off the Rookie list and have such an impact, though we have had a few of those now haven't we!

Davey pretty much revolutionized forward pressure, and the new small forward role. He may not have kicked on like we had hoped, but he is still a good player who has given us some very exciting moments.

Hope he has a good game, and is able to take that next step and become a great player for us, as he has an immense amount of talent to put to use.

The way he's been frustrating us in recent games, and in recent years (since 2006), I can see Chook taking on Cameron Bruce-like infamy on this site.

Good Luck to flash in his 100th, hope he continues his form from last week and hopefully we can celebrate his 100th with a win

Temporary loss of form.

I hope Davey can have a lot of game time in the forward line for his 100th game- he has spent too much time in the midfield in recent times

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
