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.

I have a weird feeling someone will steal Michie under our nose..

That weird feeling is MFCSS.

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...

Based on what.

Is this thread about Viv Michie?

sometimes :)

Can't say too much.

Viv is a done deal.

He is a Demon.

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?

It's probably more based on his WAFL performances, rather than his 1 senior appearance. He is the type of player that we need anyhow.

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

I say that we get Michie because we took CS off Freo's hands. ;)
Readying myself for the torrent of abuse! :)

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.

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
