WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LEIGH WILLIAMS

Featured Replies

A knee injury as a bottom ager in Under 18s prevented him from being involved in the under 18 system.

Dees planning to use him as a power forward.

Wasn't really thinking about AFL during the year - thought he might play VFL till clubs started taking interest.

There are some good quality players in suburban football coming on.

Training more intense, structured and organised.

Impressed by the strength of the players - mentioned Howe and Frawley.

Neeld told him not to limit his goals to Casey but to keep his eye on getting into the Melbourne team.

 

solid pick..! stoked we got him. could surprise all next year.

Did I say "grunt"?

Grunt is good.

Not the only one:

"Eighty thousand people, Queen's Birthday, Collingwood, Dane Swan belting the s--- out of us, who are you backing when the heat is on in the middle of the ground?" Neeld demands.

The answers are fudgy so Neeld interrupts again: "I'm going with the grunt."

 

Did I say "grunt"?

Not the only one:

Yes, but you also said this...

The proof of the pudding is on the horns of a dilemma.

...and Mark would never say that.

Never.

Leigh in big league

I like recruiting players such as Williams, partly because it is they who test the mettle of your coaches. If a kid who hasn't come up through what is now the traditional pathway can be turned into a power forward at the elite level it would represent an fantastic bonus for the club. Against that is the fact that the chances of it happening would have to be statistically very low.

Still, these are the things that I really look forward to when the club drafts a player.


look forward to seeing him play in the NAB cup hopefully...

god i hope he kicks the ball better than he interviews tho lol

    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.
