Some of the comments from Freo Supporters and how much they highly rate him..

''Congrats guys, you just picked up a 150 + game solid on baller. I'm pretty devo ATM, but well done''.

''As I said earlier. You have a best 22 player there easy. The steal of the trade period IMO''.Well done.

''you guys just got a massive bargain. he'll be as good for you in the midfield as roberton was in the saints backline''.

I'm a bit disappointed. But you guys have grabbed a champ. Hard running, tough at it, beautifully skilled, and an inherent set of footy smarts. Viv will be an asset for you guys next season and really fills a gap. I'll be attending a few more Dees' games next year.

''I wouldn't say Michie is particularly quick, his main asset is reading the ball off the ruckman's hands. He'll be a very good inside mid for you guys I think, he dominates the clearances in the WAFL games I've watched live. He was just unlucky that his role is the strongest part of our team (Fyfe, Mundy and Barlow).

''Viv is a really solid, natural footy player. I'm angry that he decided to leave us and I reckon you have got a bargain''.

I would be interested in how many D'Landers posted similar comments about Sylvia

I just went onto the freo forum site also, it [censored] me off when I read posts on there (to quote):

- I'd bet $54 that he'll win their b&f next year;

- I'd bet $50 that they'll be on the bottom next year; and

- He'd play well in a crap team like dees.

I know we've sucked over the past few years, but geez I hope one day we can hold our own and stick it up these blokes - f#>king pisses me off!!!!

I wouldnt be too upset about comments from the purple haze..

They would still be kicking themselves about losing the GF but im afraid they would probably miss....

There still isn't anything on the MFC website, is this official?

Appears not. It's not listed on the AFL website's 'Trade Tracker' either (the most recent is Ellis moving to West Coast).

Nonetheless, you'd assume with what's been said and done that the paperwork is a formality.

No wonder he is coming to us. Dawesy old man I believe owns an antique bookshop somewhere. They can swap books and read after training accompanied by their tweed jackets, pork pie hats and wooden pipes.

He'll fit right in at the dees!

Glad we got him cheap. Have some mates who played with him during his Chargers days and apparently he has some serious question marks regarding work ethic and discipline. I certainly hope this is not the case.

Are they the same mates that didn't progress onto an AFL list?.......do you know why they didn't by the way?

Welcome aboard Viv. I am very happy with this get. The thing that makes me like him the most is that he seems to have two things a few of our players don't ... very good vision and also that extra bit of time that some players possess.

Maybe the thing I'm most excited for is the the R in Trengrove, the A in Maloney, the O's in Pedorson, the E in Clarke, the A in Taggart, the U and R and often missing E and S in Burns and quite possibly my favourite the E on the end of Dunne now have a new friend. Welcome to the T in Mitchie.

Dare I say it, if you watch that highlight reel closely you'll see shadows of Brent Moloney, just in the way he moves, kicks etc. Not relevant one way or the other, just interesting...

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
