MFC Rumours


Red&BlueBlood

Recommended Posts

Won't start a new thread but was just reading AFL.com and there is an article on Chris Knights of the crows.

Saying that he has also postponed talks, or is just starting to talk now...

If he was keen on moving back to Vic (which is where he is from), I would be keen to get him at the right price.

Gun player when fit and has a brilliant kick. A quality we don't have in abundance down at MFC.

Anyone else ?

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.

The pick up any player thing didnt work ,as it didnt for Carlton, Brennan,Rischetelli are both gone and will be off to Gold Coast, with a few others

Agree. We do have quite a few half forward flankers who can play a bit of midfielder (Sylvia, Green, Dunn, Tapscott), so he wouldn't be filling a 'hole' in our list.

However as already said, you can never have enough quality footballers with elite kicking skills who able able to kick 40 goals in a year. His kicking ability would be particularly attractive to us, so wouldn't be surprised if we made enquiries.

The problem is that to get a player like Knights, who will be chased by all other Victorian clubs, you need to give something quality in return.

I wouldn't be happy to break up our young list unless it was to bring in a player who would fill a genuine hole in the team

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.

Mind you, Fitzroy never recovered from that loss to Freo...

The Hawks in '91 clearly didn't recover from the stigma of losing to Adelaide either!

The word is Knights to Bulldogs, Ryan Griffen to the Crows

Cam Bruce to win Melbourne best and fairest this year. This is more then just a rumor so get your money on it

Oh really well hope you haven't put your house on it according to the coaches association votes up until round 19 in which Bailey votes

as well as the Bluey the tally board is as follows:

Sylvia: 40

Frawley: 36

Moloney: 32

Green: 30

Jamar: 29

Mcdonald: 24

Davey: 14

But wait for it

Bruce: 1 I can't see how he could possibly win unless he poles well when we play crap.

He has a back injury!

Not what i heard. I heard from a family friend of his (who could still be wrong i guess) that he increased weight sessions to bulk up prior to, and after his debut. He did this as he was feeling the mature bodies in the packs a bit more than most due to his skinny frame.

Apparently it is a minor case and with proper management will be no issue in 2011.

What has bulking up, mature bodies and a skinny frame got to do with OP?

They are unrelated. You sure you know what you're talking about?

Osteitis pubis?

Just a few whispers I've heard regarding the 2011 fixture:

-We're a fair chance to be interstate in Round 1. We haven't been interstate in Round 1 since the 90s some time, not sure exactly when the last time was but I know for a fact that from 2000-2010 we've been in Melbourne.

-We're also a fair chance to get a Friday night game against Collingwood early on in the year (like Round 2 or 3 or so)

-We'll be on more Friday nights and more TV in general

'98 I reckon.

About a 5 goal loss to Freo. Looked as though our spoon form would carry over until we rolled the Roos the next round by... 25 I think?

Shame if true about playing Collingwood so early again. Was hoping to not play them until QB, get a good build up after the last 2 games. Having said that, another big game and QB could have 3 massive clashes to lead into it.

Core muscles aren't built by doing weights and "bulking up".

The fact that core strength is a critical factor in OP comes

as no surprise to me. Without being a doctor, it's what I expect.

You can be skinny and still have a strong core.

Frame is irrelevant to core strength.

It has absolutely nothing to do with other players, whether they have mature bodies or they are Cale Morton.

It's not something caused by getting knocked around by stronger opponents.

It's due to the strain that you yourself put on your groins without the necessary strength (not bulk) in key areas.

you should reread the previous posts and link

I thought it was explained adequately

the stronger opponents (he had a light frame) caused him to do bulk-up weights

He didn't strengthen all the required muscles in a balanced way

Hence he had an imbalance placing extra strain on groin

It was only minor and should be easily remedied

Not too hard to follow

Rumour as fact, Cale Morton will cover all limbs in Power Bands giving him an extra 500% stregnth. The club has also recommended that Jack Wats wear one on each ankle to improve his 'balance'. :wacko:

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
