Cant believe how much the absolute champion loves the Demons. I bet when he takes a [censored] in the morning it comes out red and blue. Take note other mfc players. This is the passion and attitude we need

I'm not sure I understand this quote:

"“I want to be part of the Melbourne side that was beaten by one of the expansion clubs to winning a premiership in a few years. I want to be part of history,” he said."

I assume it was supposed to say "I want to be part of the Melbourne side THAT BEATS one of the expansion clubs to winning a premiership in a few years" ?

Other than that, he's saying all the right things and going really hard on the field, it's really encouraging.

No. He is saying he wants to be part of a huge turnaround. From losing to an expansion side, to winning a premiership.

I see where he is coming from. There would be a huge amount of satisfaction from taking a bottom side to the finals and beyond, than being recruited by someone like Geelong and playing in a premiership in your first or second year.

Wasn't he saying he wanted to move from a bad extreme to a good one, ie being beaten by GWS to Premiership?

The club needs to suit up suitable candidates for Jack. He needs to have 5 boys in a hurry. More F/S in 18 yrs just like Jack and Todd. C'mon Demons build a dynasty

I suppose there is no hope of Vney influencing the other Jack?

If I was Young Viney I'd have it checked out (especially the red component).

Watts -"You look at the good teams like Geelong and Hawthorn and Fremantle and those kind of things. You've got guys like Selwood, Joel Corey, Stevie Johnson, Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis - they stand up and they don't accept that (losing) for their club".

Viney - "Ive just become 100 per cent committed to wanting to do things to improve.

The contrast in attitudes couldn't be more pronounced.

This is why I am excited for our future.... Viney, to me, seems like the type of man that pushes his team mates and him self to be the absolute best they can be.. he is a culture setter.

Players like Viney, Hogan and Toumpas who seriously hurt after a loss, hate losing and not getting the best out of themselves. That is where our future is. Anyone that doesn't fit this future can go as far as I am concerned and this includes Mr Watts.

    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
