I'm disappointed too, but I see a couple of positives as well: 1) Jack Hannath's disappiontment is clear evidence of a special type of bond developing at our footy club, the likes of which I doubt

This is a superb moment capturing the emotion as Hannath is told he'll be playing AFL next year, but not with the Dees: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/tabid/8667/contentid/509476/default.aspx W

You don't take a player for revenge, you do it because he fills a need and you rate him.

Disappointing.

Absolutely, but we may have removed any gentlemanly reluctance on thier part to shaft us with the events of last year.

And they had a pick to use before we did, thems the brakes.

Some seem to think we will chase a small forward so that is basically one of the northern territory kids

I really doubt we will add to the mature age brigade seeing as we already have Magner still on the Rookie List

Will be interesting and will look forward to Venom Denham making absurd and negative remarks no matter who we pick

Don't think it will be only Monsieur Denham .... he will always find a few mates on this board, who bag the club whatever decisions they make.

But, FWIW, I agree that they may punt on an indigenous quick small forward.

Taken by Freo at pick 8 in the PSD.

Revenge for Mitch?

Exactly what I thought

Or maybe just focusing on building a list with talented players, with scant regard for what plans other clubs may have?

Not sure how he'd go as a forward though.

Time for Gawn to prove some potential. Relying on the best rookie ruckman to come along and save our backsides is a concern although I admit these stories do eventuate.

Currently I relate Max Gawn to knee injuries and comedy.

Aint that the truth.

Right know I rate him 4th or 5th in line for the main gig.

Thinks can change quickly.

But two knee reco's before you are 20 is not a good start.

Maxy may never play another game for the dees but could still be the most influential player of the decade.

It took me a few seconds but I and many others are with you on that.

What we should have done was draft Jack Hannath in the National Draft and rookied Matt Jones...

It hasn't taken long for some armchair amateur experts to outthink our professional recruiters...but I guess it always happens.

Ah, ain't hindsight wonderful. Remind me again how many clubs overlooked James Hird and Chris Grant, not just once but multiple times.

PS By the way, good luck to Jack at his new club.

Yes it is a bit of a shame how that happened. The kid was genuinely upset that he did not join us after bonding over the last few weeks.

Interesting that the boys got around him and wished him all the best.

This is a healthy culture - the players are responding and working hard.

Mark Neeld is putting so many good structures into place and I can't wait for 2013.

Incidentally, Stef Martin will play 5 or 6 games with Lions before he gets dropped to the QAFL. Scoop.

Not happy. I really hope nobody (fans that is) takes it out on the kid if he plays against us next year. Sounds like he was shattered not to be coming to the Dees, but he's got a spot on a primary list, so best of luck to him. It has to be pretty hard to have his plans changed like that with no warning.

OK, I'm starting to think you might be a [censored] bloke, which isn't part of a healthy culture.

Agree 100%. It is not as if he chose to "escape a tanking club" for more money to go to.......LOL!!!

Don't think anyone would take it out on him, he was never officially a MFC player. More likely people will feel sorry for him having to wear purple, poor guy. He looked devastated on the AFL website after learning he had to go to Freo.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
