Viv Michie

well, it kindof happened already with savage so your feeling is probably not that out there unfortunately...

Did it?

I can't remember the public declaration of intent, Savage confirming he wanted to come to MFC, us offering Hawthorn a ruckman that will waltz into the 22, and then being spurned.

You may have wanted him, but don't talk sh*t.

Maybe a tad harsh, however only in hindsight. This time last year we were saying that Pederson was potentially a good KPP who was playing in the VFL because he was being kept out of the Roos side that had Petrie & Co holding down all the spots.

Just sayin

Actually, I was saying we didn't need him, we were paying too much for him and we were better off putting the time and effort into Fitzpatrick who would play the same role as Pedo but is taller and faster. Pretty sure I hit the nail on the head with that one.

Michie on the other hand is pretty much what we need. He's got all the attributes we need and he is desperate to get and keep a spot in the starting 18. Bring him in ASAP.

If a veteran of 1 game (Viv Michie) turns the MFC down despite being guaranteed 22 games because it has a 4th world midfield, the club may as well lock the doors for business and hand their licence back to the AFL.

You are putting a lot of stock into us getting this kid...

What if he is settled over there? What if we don't like the price?

If we haven't shut the doors yet, we are not going to call it quits because of a bloke called Viv...

Hope we land Michie might come on like a Barlow type, but I don't see Fremantle parting ways with him for a packet of chips despite his lack of games.

Why can't you say too much? You've said it's supposedly a done deal...

So why isn't it announced?

Young Viv might be a great bloke and might have heaps of talent and he might get over the spate of injuries that have so far cruelled his playing career.

What concerns me is that a lot of us are seemingly going overboard about possibly recruiting a bloke who has played 1 senior match in three years.

It must have been a most impressive performance that day, or am I missing something?

You’re not missing anything, he has achieved stuff all at AFL level yet everyone is drooling over him.

If he comes that’s great, I just hope we have negotiated a good deal which might explain the delay.

Look at the hype going over Tom Boyd who's played no AFL games. Michie at least has played 1! But they hype is over the WAFL form and under 18 form and the three years is misleading as he didn't get on the park for the entire first two years.

Just had a scrawl over the wafl website and his numbers were very good. Lowest disposal count about 24 and a few in the 30's. Had some foot issues in his first couple of years but stats would suggest he was over that. Did a bit of a knee injury rd 22 but is not deemed to stop him starting pre season. I say yes but not for much hopefully

We would all do well to remember that anyone who claims to have a source is wrong 90% of the time. Especially if they cannot/will not name them. FWIW I think we may have Michie my old boss actually works at Freo as a trainer and he seems to think that Michie is coming to us. However I wouldn't get my hopes up as nothing has been confirmed and there is still a lot of work to be done on this particular deal and others that the MFC are currently working on.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
