Pedersen, Dunn, Jetta and Jamar

Watts - hadn't written him off but felt the potential far outstripped the output. Not quite there yet but well on the way.

Posted (edited)

I don't often write players off, but Dunn was one that I would have been happy to see the back of.

I was happy to see Jetta retained and I was comfortable with most of our recent trades at the time, except for Petterd but his lack of durability was always going to limit him.

I would not have been upset to see Watts traded for a reasonable pick at the end of last season, but he still has a fair way to go.

Jeez Jerry. 2007. Most of us have loved him, hated him, loved him again, hated him again and loved him again in that time.

I know I definitely have. And I used to fluctaute pretty much inversely to popular opinion.

Until now.

Love having him in the side and very happy for him to get his life membership.

I, personally, will never again write off any player as being unable to eventually make it, not while Paul Roos is coach.

Spot on, M. Agreed.

Same here

I think he has a couple of surprises left for us too

I can imagine Sam Blease coming in this week vs Essendon and playing well and turning his career around

in Roos we trust

I honestly think we will try to trade for Ty Vickery, because Roos could turn him around.

We could use a bit more in the ruck department, he can take a role up forward, and he obviously has talent.

Well i cant recall if i have ever made any comments about current players here but there is something i would like to apologize for,

I would like to apologize to all of the MFC fans for my actions.

In 1994 i bought my first MFC jumper and promptly put my favourite player on it. Number 5. We all know how that season(s) ended up.

In 2001 I purchased a new jumper and changed to 22.

In 2003 another jumper but this time number 11 as im a tall lanky thing i thought i might go for Jolly.

In 2009 once more another jumper and went back to number 22

In 2011 another one and as many of us did i put 24 on the back

And last year i purchased the "new" playing jumper with the MFC embossed on the front and as Mitch was a monster of a man and i had a massive man crush i put 11 on the back.

I have noticed a couple of things. I have a addiction to buying MFC gear, that’s one thing and the second thing is whatever number i put on tend to be cursed.

I saw this trend last year but i thought the number 11 was a safe bet. For that guys i am truly sorry and don’t worry i wont be buying any jumpers for a few years and if i do then i wont put a number on the back.

During draft time a friend {maybe not}was explaining to me about Lewis Taylors severe leg injury.

Yeah i was wrong and he has proved himself to be a terrific player so far this year.

One of the best first year players weve seen for awhile.Hasnt missed games,continually gets pill.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
