The brotherhood

How long until we see Davey, Jetta, Bennell, Woneamirri and Jurrah all in the same Demon lineup?

I dont think it will be too far off to be honest.

Exciting times ahead for all fans of the MFC.

interesting you didnt mention Wheels in that group of players. without enciting a riot considering where we are at as a side and the kids doing well is there a need for his return . turning 30 this year he will not be part of the next push . have we seen the last of him?

[Yze_Magic 3]

Thats cos Whelan is finished.

Good point Al, maybe when the season is all but over & all the bro's are playing a good brand of footy, the club may give Wheels a send off to remember with all the Bro's together. Hopefully at the 'G'.

Comrade YM.

I don't know off the top of my head who 39 is - blame it on the young kids - but he gunned it all day.

that would be a nice touch something i hadnt considerd

Jetta and Bennell look absolutely fantastic. Both are quickly becoming favourite players. Bennell runs like a junior Wirrpunda. And Lynden Dunn looks like Andy Bichel.

Have you seen Jurrah play?

Jurrah is still a way off playing AFL.

That would be Jetta.

Jurrah is still a way off playing AFL.

When I said not too far off, I didnt mean the next fortnight, or even month.

But it will happen around mid season, or just after.

Bennell and Jetta, yum.

[Guest Petjudhome]

I have been singing Jetta's praises since before the season started and I can now sit back and say 'told you so'........I spoke to them at the Intraclub and walked away totally impressed..............they are both going to be very good players for MFC.

Any grovelling apologies from anybody who wanted him dropped after the first game will be gratefully accepted

[Guest Petjudhome]

I also spoke to Wheels at the post match function...........he is itching to get back, the last two weeks he has got a corky, told him to avoid opposition knees and elbows...........he is itching to get back.........and is cursing his luck............he loved Bennell's game...........he will be back.........and also once back he wants to play another year.........so will be fighting to get it...........great........

Jetta was super today! He looks so much like Leon Davis.

The thought of just Jetta, Davey and Wonnaemirri in the same team is quite good!

[Maric Legend 0]

Yum is right... can't help but licking my lips

[w00dy 146]

both boys were great today... my only concern over Jetta is his kicking, he does shank quite a few, shanked one massively today... but he has all the other tools to make it... work on his kicking and he'll be an effective target... once Aussie is back it will be a real test for him to hold his spot in the side...

I'm a massive Wheels fan, and hope he plays this season out well, but with Bennell showing us a lot so far, Grimes hopefully to show us a lot throughout the season, I think this will be Matty's last...

I really hope he can get fit, back in the Red and Blue and finish out the season strong... he deserves nothing less... and a farewell against the Saints at the G in Round 22 playing alongside our other aboriginal players would be a fitting send off...

Thats cos Whelan is finished.

Had a brief chat to Whelan when he was sitting with the rest of the Melbourne boys in the ponsford stand during todays game. He's ready to go and seems quietly confident he can re-discover some of his form. I think you're all forgetting that injuries aside, Whelan is possibly the best tackler in the team. And unless you guys were watching a different game to me, these young Melbourne bodies can't seem to make a tackle stick. Not for the time being anyhow. Id imagine with more weights and more pre-seasons they will become a better tackling side, but at the moment we need hard bodies like whelan.

how long do you think it will be until we see an all-caucasian MFC team line up?

who cares

its time to learn to tackle, the role of back pocket specialist is a dying breed,

Moloney was ferocious in the tackle today.

Bennell is the most exciting of the new players for mine, he looks like he could be anything. Reminding me of Bruce.

:D

Whelan is a long way from done. Apart from the obvious ones, like Neitz, Whelan is one of our most important players of the 2000s. Not only that but he's one of the only mature-age leaders in the club who I rate highly. I want him in the side this year and next as soon as possible. Let him make his exit gracefully and while playing, then turn to the kids. While the defence has done well so far, they're not a finished product. Wrecker is, and always has been, the complete small defender, and just about our only one in the last 10 years.

This is why I'm not giving up hope. Aside from Green, and possibly Mcdonald, we lack leadership from older, more mature, heads. Whelan brings this to the team in spades with his intensity, work ethic and attitude.
