I believe the rumours that give us the best players for the least cost. The other ones are garbage.

Two years of very good trading, hiring and drafting

Viney at pick 26 (steal)

Toumpass (went one place later than expected)

Hogan (mini draft)

Dawes (solid player)

M Jones (impressive first season)

Terlich(impressive first season)

Tyson (a good get whilst keeping a first round pick)

Minchie (highly rated by many clubs)

Vince (better than Sylvia)

Pick 9 (assurance for the future)

Peter Jackson (thank you AFL)

Paul Roos (thank you PJ)

Stone (credentialed and proven assistant Improving most of the above)

That's a turn around on 10 players in the right hands

Only one we might regret is overlooking Wines. Love the Toump and reckon he's all class but Wines was incredible this season.

The rest is spot on!

Toumpass will be fine and a better footballer than Wines. We now have some genuine inside midfielders to compliment him and he will have a full pre season. His hips should be fine too. Wines had a very good midfield backing him. dimitri didn't

Our midfield is now starting to look much more talent laden and a lot less raw:

Jones, Cross, Vince, Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Trengove, Pick 9 etc...

That is a hell of a lot better than this year.

Won't regret it as we are clearly now decked out with talented inside mids.

Toumpas is a key ingredient in this midfield going forward.

Where did you pull Cross from? Far from signed, sealed and delivered to the club.

Agree with your sentiments though.

That's starting go look pretty damn good.

There must be a few starting to quiver in their boots.

OMG - I though we may be able to get through one thread without the Wines (one of many mids in a more mature successful team) vs Toumpass (opposite of all those club traits) debate - but, oh no, we couldn't.

Or getting through it without someone spelling his name incorrectly. Toumpas. Is it so hard?

Pedantic at its worst. How can a poster be upset today after some good progress from the club. What's the saying? Small things, and small minds!

I'm as pumped as anyone about today. Small minds are those that can't spell the names of their own players correctly. It isn't hard but this isn't the time or the thread for it, so because you seem upset, I'll move on.

you betcha. Vince actually won a b&f in a better team than sylvia's 5th place in a poor team

I don't think Vince has the explosive power of Sylvia - Unfortunately Col only produced this about twice a season. Further, I suspect Vince has more brainpower.

All up. Not a bad swap.

Wow. Nothing was reported on the news and it wasnt until I checked twitter I saw it. Sorry Colin who? Bernie is a great replacement for him and I reckon he will give us more in in his first season with us than Col ever did.

And Mark Robinson has the hide to write an article in todays sun saying we have lost momentum since we got roos. Well getting dom tyson and berie vince is a pretty good day. Good work Todd and co

On a only-very-loosely-related note, I wonder where the OP (D26) has gone? He's spent the last 6 months being close to the site's most prolific poster, but has had no account activity at all since October 3. That includes logins, 'lurking' etc. Bizarre.

So what picks do the MFC now hold given Vic, Bernie and Tyson are recruited?

9, 40, 56 ish.

Potentially we will look to do deals in this last week moving those later 2 picks forward or getting another one in the top 50ish by trading out players who haven't been getting a kick but might hold a little interest from other clubs (ie, Blease, Strauss, Tapscott).

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
