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.

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.

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 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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
