Oh please they troll these sites day and night looking for a lead.

If we wanted to start a rumour as fact and all got behind it, we could easily fool the press into making it front page news.

    And I'd have Brock McLean over him...

    Would you have Brock over Gys? because that is the swap.

    He is playing in a different role to what you would like obviously! Be patient. He is hungry and will prove he is worthy of being in the best 22.

    Neeld is making him versatile. I have great faith in James Magner!

    Dont worry about him. He will make the grade and prove all doubters wrong!

    Worry about Bate making the team & Morton holding his position. There the worry!

    Why is this thread still open ... Thread starter is just stirring the pot for attention. I could reply as to why magner is clearly not a liability but I it would be like arguing with someone that the sky in blue.

    This is one of those threads where you can extrapolate from the title alone how much of a muppet the author is. I didn't read the OP or any content either. Muppet.

    I like James Magner, I can't understand why he is playing mainly as a defensive forward, Yes is his good overhead and in close but we are getting smacked in the midfield. Play Dunn as our defensive forward he can play that role and also kick goals and get Magner back around the footy.

    And my point is that I don't see any upside in him whereas clearly guys like blease,Morton,gysberts,Mckenzie,couch etc all have potential and need game time. There has to be a reason why he was overlooked in 6 drafts

    Very disappointed with this post. Magner's a liability and there "has to be a reason why he was overlooked in 6 drafts", yet you are saying Couch has upside and potential and needs game time. I don't know the exact amount of drafts Tom nominated for - I'm sure it was at least 2, and the fact that we picked him up in the rookie draft means that there would have to be a reason why other Clubs didn't pick him in the National Draft wouldn't it?

    To top that off, Blease, McKenzie and Morton are in the team, and Gysberts has been injured more often than not this season. I can't see how Magner is harming those players development.

    Sorry Gotzy, those sort of comments sh!t me.

    This thread may raise a few eyebrows but i am getting increasingly frustrated with James Magner. I know many have been singing his praises all year but for a mature age player with a big body he is not contributing enough and if anything just compounding our problems in the midfield. We already have Moloney,jones,trengove,Sylvia and Mckenzie to do the bullocking work in the middle. Magner doesn't do it anywhere near as well as those players and he gives us absolutely nothing on the outside in terms of run and spread. His disposal is poor,he fumbles constantly and he completely lacks class to influence a game.

    I love his attitude and his effort but unfortunately I can't see any upside in magner and he's only going to keep outside runners like blease,grimes and gysberts out of the middle going forward!tough call but I'd send him to the magoos.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
