We will now see what this playing group is made of in the next couple of weeks, if they lay down and give in or pull their socks up and take it up to the opposition. I would hope a lot of these players would have had a long hard look at themselves and got down to recovery and training to put in the extra yards, to look at the criticisms as a guide to what then now need to do. Last thing in the world I want to see is melbourne players thinking they have to run out and start biffing Bomber players next week and giving up free kicks and getting reported instead of out playing them on the ground. I really doubt there is much chance we will win next week, but i would like to seem the 22 Melbourne players put in and play a decent, hard competitive brand of football, and if we do loose, then hopefully it will not be by much.

He walked in with Hogan.. I wonder what must be going through his head at the moment. I hope he is not thinking of going back to WA already.

He might need a Melbourne girlfriend to keep him here....*cough*

It is very difficult to pull up your socks if you don't have any on Deecisive.

The painful fact is we have about 8 AFL standard players.

As far as I'm concerned, pay Jack and Jesse whatever they want, they are our future.

Obviously the current lot aren't capable of leadership, getting their hands dirty.

Neeld overrated how pathetic these lads are when he drafted Dawes thinking it will help.

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but maybe he would've been better off using that pick on Ben Kennedy

and taking Wines ahead of Toumpas - as classy as Toumpas is, he is a waste at this club.

We need go-getters.

This list is in for yet another massive shake up at years end.

And whoever decided to recruit Tom Gillies should be sacked on the spot.

Im 12 can's down and could still move quicker than that spud.

Im kinda blown away that its down to him to not only perform but also motivate the side as an 18 year old. I know of at least one listed player who told a friend he thought jack was full of himself. that player should turn around and have a look at what Jack Viney brings to the table and emulate 30% of it.

NSC, please who is this player? I understand if you don't mention their name but it's players like this that must go. Their attitude and any bitchy attitude will spread like poison.

As for the AFL video posted, what's with Rory Taggert smiling as he walks in? Does he think he'll get a game vs. Essendon?

I love the fact that Viney has the balls to step up and say something. What concerns me is if we keep putting up performances like this then guys like Viney/Hogan are not going to want to sign new contracts (Hogan particularly).

We have serious issues and need quick smart reactions.

Prob just glad he did not play yesterday.

I am amazed at Viney's maturity in this situation. For a first gamer to have an impact on and off the field like that is simply stunning. Future captain material without a doubt and also my pick for rising star.

Backed him and Ollie for an absolute stack.

Got Viney at $11's and Ollie at $16

I'm gonna enjoy the battles those two are going to have over the next decade.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
