Just said on ch 10 sport that Mclean won Carlton's time trial beating Judd.

Also said that Judd will be playing forward with Brock in the middle.

I know we've had enough of this topic but still my reaction...........F@*K

Well, that does imply that Mclean is reasonably injury free now.

And we've always known that Mclean is exceptional at sustaining a single pace for long periods.

It's probably a good move, might extend Judd's career a little at the same time as testing our whether the Gibbs/Murphy/Mclean onball unit can do the job alone. Might mess around with plans to match up on Judd, too.

This is exactly why Mclean might really be worth pick 11 to the Blues. Good luck to him. If he's really lucky the Blues will even get a premiership in before the Demons roll over the top.

Also, Scully would have beaten them both. Not kidding or exaggerating. That's just what we're getting. Lap it up.

Not necessarily. Brock can build up a bit of pace.

He just has a lot of trouble changing pace, and direction.

He's not fast, but his top speed is ok. His biggest problem is that he is not quick or agile and has lousy acceleration.

Who?

EXACTLY!!!!

Time to move on from Brock, in 2 weeks we will have a very nice replacement for him, actually 2, and it is going to be a pleasure watching these 2 run Brock into the ground in the coming years ;)

Keeping up with Jones is nothing to sneeze at either. He was the record holder for the stingrays over 3km 'til Scully came along.

I know... the record at the stingrays was 10:10 until Scully did a 9:36 (maybe 9:26)..... thats a 5% increase on the best U18 to ever come through the club....

We are a lucky club this year

Not that Mclean beating Judd means anything, but I still think we got a raw deal losing Mclean for pick 11. (discounting the fact he wanted to leave).

How could it have been better? Who would have realistically offered more for him? What could have Carlton realistically offered in excess of pick 11? Fev? Cloke? If Ball had been on the market would Carlton have chased Ball and not Mclean? Would McLean have been prepared to go to another Club if he could not go to Carlton?

McLean wanting to leave is one issue. And while he did have an interrupted pre season, to finish 11th in the Bluey from 19 games is a poor result from our "No 1 midfielder" in 2009.

It will be interesting to see what draft pick Ball (ex Captain and ex- AA) goes for in the ND. It will be a good bellwether of the deal MFC got for McLean.

Regardless, I doubt any outcome from Ball deal will change the fact that given McLean was leaving MFC that MFC given the circumstances did the best deal possible at the time.

If Carlton had waited instead of moving so quickly they could've had Ball for the same price; a superior player in every way to McLean. In my opinion we should count ourselves extremely lucky we got what we did.

We got a brilliant deal out of a situation, How would have you improved it?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
