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.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    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
