This week wasn't even a contest-- McDonald was the best eligible player by a mile!

Excellent news, and richly deserved.

And, how we needed some good news, after the devastation of last night's news re Mitch!

Well done to my boy Tom McDonald. Never in doubt!

Now sign him up Melbourne!

It would have made good commercial sense to extend his contract PRIOR to the nomination.It was obvious he had the goods, but now his agents are in a far better bargaining position. (reminds me of Woey with his Brownlow!)

Well deserved, and well picked up by Whispering Jack. There were so many other suggestions in his thread on this, that I began to believe them, and expected Green or someone else to get it. I now realize the Liam Shiel suggestion was a cynical one!

Good news, after we've had all the rising stars against us it's great for us to get one back.

Well deserved.

This isn't the first time you have shown a lack of understanding of the time and effort required in managing a list and signing players, especially when you've got heaps of them to get through. It's nowhere near as simple as just signing him a few weeks earlier.

Well MFC must have played MFC as many of the RS this year have come from teams playing the Dees, congrats to Tmac, I will put my hand on my heart and admit I must know diddly squat about football, cause after the Richmond game I was calling for him to go back to the magoos, I am truely amazed at the turn around from that game, now one of my favourites in anew exciting looking backline

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
