Had a sensational start to the season, the highlight being his 17-touch, four-goal effort against Collingwood in round two before a shoulder injury in round six ended his season. Will be a welcome return in 2011 -Luke Holmesby melbournefc

Plays so tall for a bloke who is shorter than Trengove.

Long long arms and very courageous.

One of those really handy pieces to a side, like a Max Rooke.

I don't like the Max Rooke analogy...

Anyway, missed Ricky big time this season - proved he was a player on the up with his first 6 games of the season before injury struck.

Takes a great mark and is a much improved kick of the ball!

Gold Coast will be ruing they're loss at recruiting him - well done Dees!!

I should add that the beauty is he goes under the radar at opposition teams - it works to our advantage.

Petterd shined when our forward line was in shambles this year....needs to have good on field chemistry with Jurrah, Green, Wonna, Watts & co....

I think you'll find that we have one of the best conversion rates of I50s to scores in the comp.

Mahoney has done a very good job with a young and undersized forward line.

The silence of the Ricky doubters is deafening...

Yet again...

Could it be that the 'doubters' have changed their minds? This happens y'know, when the information at hand changes.

There were very legitimate reasons to question his role this time last year.

I don't doubt his ability but have real doubts about his body.Seems very injury prone and if, indeed, can get this right will be a sensational player for us.

undersized and inexperienced...plus they were often starved of chances.

where did we rank for inside 50 in the comp?

Just love Ricky's courage, strength and recent goal kicking prowess. Seems to have found his niche in the forward half, and was sorely missed after round 6. Will add another dimension to our forward set-up in 2011, and be an important factor in the potential match-up dilemma that will confront opposition coaches.

He is a real enigma to me.

Doesn't in any way look a marking forward, but has done the job magnificently when available.

I guess a question is where does he fit in if all of Jurrah, Watts, Dunn, Green, Davey, Wona are fit and in form, and even Bate were to apply himself and realise his potential.

Would be a nice dilema for selectors.

Yep.

He was fantastic early on. Probably would have kicked 40-odd goals this year.

His set-shot kicking really surprised me. It seemed so natural and was very reliable.

Who could forget his game against the Pies.

Yeah...nah.

His kicking for goal is still wonky & unreliable.

He was good, but seriously.

Rose-tinted memories.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
