MFC Rumours

Featured Replies

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

Try the OP of the List Management thread.

Inner Demon has done all the work for you.

Thanks, have copied it below for others reference

This list then represents GC17's "opportunity" to sign out-of-contract MFC players this year

Some big names still on the list

. . . the unofficial, uncontracted player list which has circulated in other threads. . . .

Warnock, Bruce, Jones, Watts, Bate, Miller, Johnson, Bell, Moloney, McDonald, Bail, Blease, Strauss, McNamara.

with two games still to go? pull the other one and it plays jingle bells.

Hahahahaha!! Love it.

Pretty big call considering the year that Frawley and big Jamar have had! And, just quietly, Brad Green...

 

Miller not named for this weeks clash.... off to Gold Coast me thinks!

Would not be a good move for Bate if he went to Gold Coast - too much sunshine and way too many UV rays for a Ranga!

Has possible OH & S implications too! He would have to play all 'home day games' in a long sleeve jumper, trousers and a legionaires cap!

I have heard the Bruce rumour many times in the past, with Junior going i think we need his experience...

We got to get Warnock, Jones, Watts, Moloney Bail, Blease & Strauss signed ASAP, thats the best of depth in our list!

I spoke to Bail in the rooms a few weeks back and he said he is close to signing, guess he wasnt going to tell me different either way!

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.

Hawthorn lost to Adelaide in Crows first game.

Did West Coast beat North Melbourne?

Um, yeah that's about all I can remember.

jones wont go as some have said he obsessed with the melbourne footy club going by his tweets lol

 

Miller not named for this weeks clash.... off to Gold Coast me thinks!

i found that weird too, with the 23rd player last week and now not even on this emergencies.. odd

Bate would need to spend the extra $$$ he would get on sun screen so would prob end up earning less :)

Hasn't he been saying on Twitter that his back has given up up him?

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

Scott will re sign with Crows very soon. Will finish his career with them.

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.

A Geeeelong insider told me that he is currently looking for a house to buy up here in Melbourne and that he is back with long time girlfriend Lauren. Read what you may into that.

Hahaha your "Geelong insider" could have easily been reading those details in the papers for the last

month. Common knowledge.

He has signed apparently

Bate would need to spend the extra $$$ he would get on sun screen so would prob end up earning less :)

If he was traded to Canberra he might be a chance with the ranga in chief.

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.

For once in my life- I agree with ya.

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

MFC would be foolish to take Thompson IMO.

He has signed apparently

That's what I heard.

Imagine thier offspring. Big strong Rangas armed with gargantuan ear lobes that both mesmerise and knock over the opposition, expert snipers ... always moving forward, moving forward, moving forward....

Dont like how Bail has been dropped, can't help us hold onto him that's for sure!

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.

Not a MFC rumour, but here it is!

Michael Voss will be sacked as Brisbane Lions coach at the end of the season.

Source is from a relative who has connections with coaching staff from there reserves side.

Time will tell!

There's definitely trouble over at Brisbane.

Problems with the review of the club being conducted by Voss, players disgruntled and wanting to leave and now a big resignation at the top.

PORT ADELAIDE

3rd Game

Pt Adelaide Beat Geelong

18.21.129 to 14.6.90 @ Football Park

Far out, that really set Geelong back didn't it. You just can't talk about Geelong or Port Adelaide these days and not think back to the day Port notched their first win.

  • 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?
