IN the first installment of a weekly series, Glenn McFarlane writes an open letter to a target who needs to be asked the hard questions in footy.

DEAR MELBOURNE,

Yes......Questions the value of the players we recruited and of the ones we let go.....Clearly does not like the Dawes byrnes recruitment.......But what does he know???......Just a nothing piece....some jurno shooting off his mouth.....

Pederson to debut on the back of a poor nab cup. Interesting.

i'm confident he will produce good football. When he was given the chance at north he was a pretty good fwd


So I guess the actual teams are announced tonight not tomorrow night?

There is live chat on our team selection/lineup on the MFC website tonight from 6:15!

Maybe Melbourne are just leaking some new names slowly. the only 'new' players that have been announced that are playing are the ones that have a twitter account.

I am not even going to comment on Dawes.

But I am glad we picked up Kent and I look forward to him playing when he gets a chance.


Going to be good to watch Viney and Wines go head to head.

What's the problem with Dawes?

You don't want a ready-to-go 100kg FF?

I think he is a seasoned footballer.

we have a shortage of those.

He could not hold down a regular spot at North.

We swapped him for Gysberts

So not a lot lost by adding him to our team.

From the little I have seen in the NAB he looked average.

At best he will add a bit of depth, cannot see him dragging us into the winners circle.

Agree, so who is going to get the free when both players dive head first into the ball.

Would have been nice to draft both boys, good mates, would have played well together. However, very happy with Zeus. I hope he becomes a superstar and converts the Greek community into members :)

We swapped him for Gysberts

Who incidentally, isn't named for North, even as an emergency.

If all Pedersen does is keep Sellar and co. honest, he'll be a good pickup. Real games haven't started, but Sellar seems to have stepped up over the off-season, so perhaps that scenario is already playing out.

I wouldn't be too quick to write off Pedersen, he's in a different structure at Melbourne, so let's see how things play out.

if he can produce the form he did in 2011 and for the most part 2012 then he will be a good pick up. I feel he was very unlucky not to play a fair chunk of last year for north considering his very strong VFL form, the only thing keeping him out was the good form of the fwds that north had in at the time.

edit: uploaded the most recent video of him i could find

Edited by young dee enthusiast


Is he?

He's as ready as he will ever be.

Edit: hammy delay, right...

Dean Kent has something about him. Pace, power, aggro, ball winning ability and kicking abilty. GET ON HIM THE PARK ASAP!

I seriously think we've discovered a gem with that kid. He's like Tapscott 2.0. I also want to see him out there sooner rather than later.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
