Not so sure it is rubbish, [censored]. By 2012 we should have found 22 players who are better than Bartram. If we haven't, then we won't be very good, because Bartram isn't very good.

Hoopla is right.

The comment is writing off a player completely. Could it be possible that bartram improves and fills a spot the club requires. I know what he was saying, it just dosen't sit well with me.

What if we had quite a few injuries and he had to play!

Ha ha, yeah

Take that

    Had a morning suprise!

    Went for my morning run on the tan and was excited to see a group of about 10 Melbourne players training hard, hill runs, cone drills excetera.

    Among the players were LJ, Miller, Meesen, Jamar, Wona, Cheaney, Bates and Bartam. The forwards group it would seem.

    Had a quick chat to LJ who was sitting out a drill (though 100% fit). I shook his hand....... his hand was massive! He was happy to have a quick chat and said we was looking forward to the season.

    Anyway I guess this means Bartam is still in the building.

    Thanks GNF for sharing your excitment. I'm delighted to learn that Wona and Meese were part of the group.

    Meaningless.

    He's just continuing to train with the team until a firm decision is made on his future.

    He'd be unwise to sit out and end his chances of staying at MFC.

    Did you notice Valenti training earlier this month before his delisitng?

    If anything it may suggest his future hinges on the recruitment of Luke Ball.

    yes, it would also be in his intrest to keep training so as to keep his fitness up if he is to change clubs.

    Not sure how training in the park has anything to do with luke ball?

    Well I still think he'd be the first to get delisted of any players on our list that are out of contract.

    No signing of a contract has been announced, so I assume there is none.

    And I suspect we may only delist a further player if Luke Ball comes to us in the PSD.

    I don't think it was the forwards group.

    LJ, Miller, Wona and Bate? Sure.

    Meesen, Jamar, Cheney and Bartram? No.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
