Not much has been said about Paul but I must say I've enjoyed his work as a Melbourne player. And while never achieving the recognition attained by fellow 2000 debutantes Brad Green and Cam Bruce, Paul quietly went about his job in a thoroughly professional manner.

It was nice to see the following in the Sunday Age - when Jack Grimes was asked Is there someone at your club who is your behind-the-scenes mentor? Jack replied - "Paul Wheatley, He helps us young guys out so much, especially playing down in the back line. He's a really good thinker on the game...and gives me lots of feedback"

G'donya Paul! Go to the USA and make a packet!!!

Did anyone else love seeing those 70m Kicks yesterday? They were just hugeee. The goal was a nice touch as well.

Well done Paul (Supergoal) Wheatley.

Aside from that super-duper-goal those kick-ins were pure footy enjoyment. I mean how ofter is that going to happen where you just push all logic and gameplan aside and just let it rip !! That was a marvellous present to Wheats I thought...and i enjoyed it too. :)

I think he loaded up the barrell with one of them?

I also heard he did a simpson during the week and pulled his calf? any truth in this?

Yeah, well done Wheats, on a great MFC career. I've loved your work and believed for many seasons that you were the barometre for our side. Good luck with life after football.

Will miss you Wheats. Hope you have a crack at the NFL. Couldnt stand seeing you in another jumper.

Your "socks up" on sunday was a first and the way I read it was that you are so proud playing for the deez.

They didn't give you 31 for nothing.

Thanks heaps for the memories and all the very best. :(

Glad to see Wheatley going out in style. Those bombs were the highlights of the game for me, along with the goal. All were so classicly wheatley. I'm the same...couldn't hack seeing him in another jumper. He's a player i've heard get bad-mouthed in the past, but he's always been a great hard worker for MFC.

I shot my mouth off on a previous Paul Wheatley thread and I'm glad those posts were deleted. Sorry to anyone who was offended and thanks to Paul Wheatley for your career at the Demons. Watching the game yesterday reminded me again how much I love watching the Demons play football and for 9 years Wheatley has been part of that journey. Thanks also to the moderators who kept the piece of rice paper intact that allowed me to continue posting on this site.

Roost It.

P.S. I'm really glad the last 3 years of football are done and dusted, roll on 2010

I loved the bombs in to the middle; it was obvious that they (the second one at least) were purely for humour purposes rather than to a plan, but it was a nice touch. Couldn't have planned the 'super goal' any better either.

Despite the loss, it was a fantastic way for all three to go out. Personally, I ended the season on a bit of a high despite everything. I feel like we won.

There are no words to describe how glad I am that this season is finally over, and that we must now surely have passed the bottom of the trough.

Maybe I am too optimistic but I felt the same.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
