MFC Rumours

Red&BlueBlood
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I wouldn't think Jones would be going anywhere. From the sounds of al his tweets, he absolutely loves the boys and the club.

I also have a bad feeling one of Bruce, Warnock, Bate or Morton will be gone.

It seems very much a 'co-incidence' that Warnock, Bate and Morton are all our of contract and also out of the team for the last few games after being core 22 players earlier in the season.

I'd hate to see anyone go.

    I would be very dissapointed if Bate, Warnock or Morton Went! All these guys are very important players in going forward and all very capable of being in our best 22. As for Bruce i love the bloke, he has been a fantastic player for the MFC, but if the GC offer him a 2 or 3 year deal worth good $$$ he SHOULD take it, as he will only get a 1 year deal for MFC. He will always be a melbourne player just like Dermie will always be a Hawk!

    As for Jones, thats a joke right? Appart from the surf on the GC why would he leave MFC?

    I'll take a punt:

    Hawks - Campbell Brown

    Dons - Brent Stanton

    Dees - Cameron Bruce

    Pies - Paul Medhurst

    We should make guessing the above players a contest or something. Winner gets bragging rights for being awesome/lucky/a footyhead

    I also reckon they'll get David Armitage, Jarrod Harbrow, Michael Rischitell and Jared Brennan.

    3aw were adamant that comments from Brown's manager and cryptically from Clarkson was that Brown will announce he is going to GC.

    According to Bruce he is keen to finish his career (1 or 2 years left at MFC). Medhurst...they would be kidding. Aside from Harbrow and Rischetelli, the others are questionable recruits.

    Morton was out injured co incidentally earlier in the year.

    I have to agree with the sentimants of many here regarding Bruce. I would love for him to finish his career at the MFC but could understand if GC offer him more money and a longer career. One club players are becoming rare. If he does finish up with us, he should be our next 250 gamer.

    Considering most players get booed when they swap teams, will the GC be the most booed team in the competition? Usually the build up one or two weeks in the season is player x coming up against his old team. This will be almost every week next year.

    These 2 new "teams" have been cobbled together for reasons of Broadcasting & Marketing. So we Victorians & in particuliar MFC Supporters must make them feel uncomfortable & unwanted whenever they come anywhere near the MCG (and hopefully we can inflict much pain on them both when we travel to their money pits.

    Who will be the first Victorian Team to lose to these AFL Monsters?? nobody will want that acolade.

    Yes. It is certainly a big stigma and a huge sense of shame for those sides that gave the first win in the AFL to Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast, Freo, Adelaide and Port Adelaide.....who ever they were.

    there will be just as much booing as there was when the brisbane bears started with x players.

    Just heard on the grape vine Melbourne are gonna play 1 home game a year in China to attract more sponsers from the orient.

    Seems to me that Krakouer, Harbrow and Brown are all signed.

    Rischitelli and Brennan are maybes.

    Ablett is undecided and I reckon he'll stay.

    I've also heard that John Anthony is a possibility.

    Any word on if Melbourne would take Scott Thompson as he is returning to Victoria, probably need a trade as they lose goodwin burton edwards bock and maybe mcleod

    Do we need him though??? Nup!

    His loss. He has missed out on something quite special at Melbourne.

    Travis Boak looks like will be at gc and Walker not happy at Crows

    Pretty sure Boak extened his contract at Port earlier this week

    A list of who is out of contract would help the guessing - any takers?

    Interestingly the Boomers (National Basketball Team) is sponsored by Golden Star!!! I had to look up who they were.

    Golden Star International Investment Pty Ltd is a Chinese company that was established in 1995 and has since focused on sports exchange and cooperation between China and Australia. Golden Star's business includes commercial operations in basketball and football, the organising of sports tours between Australian and Chinese sports clubs, as well as sports marketing and sponsorship development.

    Amazing that our National basketball team has to be sponsored by a CHinese investment company!! Poor state of affairs that..

    I reckon ablett is going going gone. he has not put anything to bed in telling the club of a decision, yet when he could have. paul connors reckons he is good as gone. the bruce talk is folly.

    josh mahoney flirted with the idea of going to Port and having a go at their top job, however after anylsis of both lists he will stay with the demons for another 2 years, Bailey a massive fan.

    Stupid comment.

    Ablett has had plenty of chance to put it to bed... If he had actually already made a decision.

    He hasn't.

    Why on earth would he commit one way or the other when he doesn't yet know himself?

    The Bruce talk is highley unlikey.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
