Excellent interview this afternoon by Daniel Harford from Skilled Stadium.

Tom spoke very eloquently and confidently about his experiences prior to and following his selection at #1 in the draft .

He spoke of the constant enjoyment he gets in being handed a different assignment each week , and how doing the team things correctly was more significant to him than any personal achievment along the way . He noted that there was great cameraderie amongst the new breed at the club and how important it would be down the track because they were growing and bonding together both socially and on the field .

There was quite of deal of disappointment at not having got over the line in a couple of matches , and he noted that people do not recall the losers over time , even when they deserved to win .

He was asked about the difficulties he faced last year whilst trying to combine under 18 team football with school study , and was pleased with the way the MFC had managed his training requirements this year , noting that his body was feeling extremely good but with 9 more rounds to go anything could happen .

There was nothing really new or enlightening in his comments but rest assured this modest and well spoken young man is made of the right stuff and will certainly be a leader at the club for a decade .

I heard It. He speaks very well for such a young guy. Did anyone else hear Shifter talking about Jack Viney today? Geez we could be on to a good thing!

Yes Kevin Sheahan described him as ' a gun ' and said he was already playing reserves grade football in S.A. and is still under 16 .

Sounds fantastic.

Based on the assumption he wants to play for the mighty dees, what is the rule? If a club says they will use their round 1 pick on him do we have to match that or is it just round 2 onwards?

Love how he made mention of the fact that 4.5 wins out of 13 means that we have under achieved. Good that the old cliches not trotted out, even some senior boys fallen into the trap.

Interesting observation re Jack. I was at the CEO's breakfast and BP and Cam Schwab recently. I brought up Jack as part of the conversation talking about GWS / GC and ways around drafting concessions and namely the father son.

BP talked him up a storm then Cam spoke about the way Todd sees it. Cam openly said that he is great mates with Todd (memory fails me but he could have actually said best mates ...anyway), he talked about how when Todd was drafted Sheedy cruised into his place and just expected Todd to go, but his folks were more interested in a club that would look after Todd and in the end he ended up at the Dees. Todd has the same expectation for Jack, he wants the club going in the right direction and looking out for the kids. Cam stopped short of saying that he was a cert to be at MFC but that he "would be surprised if he didnt".

Cam was also proud as punch of the new facilities, which i could tell he thought would help in attracting that sort of attention re club preferences.

Thought that may be of interest to some.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
