I'll just watch if that's all right-for god sake dont injure them.

You just outed yourself Chauncy Gardener? ;-)

Well if the reports are to be believed, we offered a large contract to MacKay from the Crows.

One certainly from left field, but must fit the profile they're looking for

Didn't I read somewhere on here yesterday that MacKay has just re-signed with the Crows?

As Leigh Matthews said...Mitch Clark was just an ordinary footballer...Took moving to melbourne to make him a champion...

lol. Lets hope we can entice more Champions !!

Yes that's correct, I'm just saying that he was a bit of a left field suggestion, so clearly they have a type of player in mind

Thanks for posting the clip, 3183.

I like the maturity of mind that Mitch has. He's sure of himself, modest and driven to achieve.

Liked that he talked about how having a child at the age of 20 taught him to grow up and put himself number 2, gave him a strong reason to succeed.

Perhaps a lot of others on our list should also procreate, if this is the result. In which case, stay away from The Song Formally Known As.

It is funny though, how someone with undoubted talent can just warm to his new role and life, have a bit of confidence (probably talked up by Neeld and co.) and just be the force he has been.

From the 10th best player at the Lions to numero uno (with apologies to Jones) at the Dees.

I think what happens here is someone like Clark sees a kindred spirit in Neeld. add 1 + 1 and you get 3's value i.e the knock of synergy.

this is what we need to get across the raft of players coming in ( and build in those there) . All pulling in the same direction

Mitch Clark was one of the most talented u-18 players in his year. Dominated WA juniors and against other state sides. Has dominated in his short time at Melbourne. What does that say about his intermission in Brisbane??

Disappointed we didn't get McKay. He's an excellent player and exactly the type of attacking mid that we need. Still, it suggests to me that they have the right type of player identified and will be bold in chasing them. Good stuff.

I'll reiterate that I won't judge Neeld until he has had sufficient time to build the team he wants (rather than the one he inherited). The discarding of Maloney says a lot about his ruthless vision.

That highlight reel - jeez he's great to watch when he hits a pack. If that doesn't inspire your team mates & show them an example of how you commit to a contest, I don't know what would.

Credit to Fatboy McChins too - that was a good interview

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
