A likely leader of Melbourne’s best and fairest before he injured his hamstring against Carlton in round 11. Missed the next seven weeks before returning. The skipper was a reluctant retiree and his leadership will be missed. Led the team in average tackles - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

    Don't go to Carlton!

    Mate, this is a thread dedicated to the final season that our spiritual heart-and-soul leader Jimmy McDonald would play for the MFC and all you can say is, "don't go to Carlton". It speaks volumes of yourself.

    Show some respect.

    James will be a missed member of the mighty Dees. Showed amazing heart in his final year - finishing well inside the Top 10 in the B&F after missing a solid 2 months of footy!

    We'll miss his courage, leadership and uncompromising attack on the ball.

    All the best for whatever you do in the future, Junior. You're a real credit in what you've managed to do with your footy career off the Rookie List.

    A word for Jordie McKenzie: Learn from James McDonald.

    For you to unleash a tirade based on one simple sentence say volumes about you.

    What MFC supporter doesn't know everything about Junior already?

    There's not much to say. But I hope he doesn't go to Carlton.

    Respect is not a factor.

    Pull your head in you muppet.

    Junior. Great player for the Dees culminating in an AA (2006) with two B&F's (2006,2007). Early on in his career he was cruelled by injury missing the chance to play in the 2000 GF. Remarkable player having come from off the rookie list after being drafted on it the same year (2007), a real blue collar worker who worked on his game with great effort and can finish his footy career with his head held high ! One who represented his club and jumper with honour, captained his club - the oldest footy club of all - and has shown great leadership and maturity for the playing list of today in it's time of need. One of the best and most consistent tacklers (in terms of technique) in the game in his time.

    Cheers Junior.

    Thanks for the memories Junior. I don't think you ever left anything on the field and not too many blokes can say that. When we win that #13 you will be one of the first people I think of because you were the glue that held us together in the dark days.

    Surprised that this thread has received such a feeble response from club supporters to such an out and out champion.

    Well done Junior!!!

    That just about says it all Battler. Gave every ounce of himself on the field, and earned the total respect of the entire football community. Thanks for a great career Junior!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
