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.

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.

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

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
