I dont mind th eidea/concept of a Byrnnes type. I think too many people are shooting for the moon. Currently we're just the other side of crap. We arent going to turn into a take-on-all -killer typ

Good news everyone. We have a small forward. So in total, we have one small forward.

Arent we looking to improve our midfield and key forward stocks?

Byrnes is an outside mid who hasnt been making the grade. Goldsack is second banana to two gorillas in the forward line - we have lots of second banana forwards only one gorilla in Clark - so I say no thanks not compelling.

no reports on how much he is being paid?

Who really cares.....We don't know how much any of our players are getting...neither do the media.....It's all guess work by them and us....Don't know how much Mitch is getting....Only the club and the player/manager knows....I don't know why people get hung up on this?????

And just out of curiosity, being a dual premiership player means he missed out on one. Was he injured or just unable to get into a very good side?

Pretty sure he was an emergency for last years grand final. So not able to get into the side as new players like Christensen took his spot.

I care, as it comes out of my membership fees.

And it is nice to know what kind of ballpark he is in terms of player payment, he didn't seem to hesitate at all while most other players do when it comes to the MFC.

Not necessarily anyone from the FA pool that doesnt fit our longer term needs.

Then what is the harm in signing Byrnes, I think its a good move by the MFC

I am sure next week will be when we do deals do land a Gorilla and a few Mids when we can actually Trade.

Does the shareholder really care what the mailboy in a huge organisation is getting paid???

I'm happy with this signing.

Having said that, if we got more players in the 'ageing' bracket i would be worried. We retired Green and got rid of moloney + Rivers may walk.

If someone had asked you - who would you prefer Moloney or Byrnes you'd say Moloney in a heartbeat

Not just what I said before, it would be good to know what type of coin he is on as it is a factor into what type of compensation we receive from Moloney/Rivers signing with other teams.

It would just be food for thought to know if we were/were not going to get a pick.

Yes, could be a fertile plot - I'd be keen on looking at Tom Murphy from this year - seems like a very solid citizen, is UFA and would set a good benchmark for commitment at our club.

Welcome Shannon!

Sh#t ones dont.

Good ones do

Sorry....Can't let this go.......So, as a good shareholder you would know the saleries of all the office workers...even if you are making a large profit....If we won a premiership would you care how much Trengove got after kicking the winning goal?????

Sorry just saw your latest post....I'll give it up now....

Those examples are irrelevant. How much Byrnes is earning comes into play when compensation for losing F/A's are awarded.

Like i said earlier, its food for thought to know whether or not we should expect a compensation pick.

Very happy with this pick up. He comes from a winning culture, and knows what it takes to win a premiership.

I think part of of the problem is our current experienced players are only experienced in an MFC environment. They've never won a premiership or even played deep into the finals. They haven't trained alongside guys that have won Brownlow medals.

Byrnes has. If he can instill the right ethic into the younger guys then he's served his purpose well.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
