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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
