Viv Michie

Yeah i like the potential of this guy.

 

It you had to choose whether Michie or our other speculative recruit in Riley would go and cement a best 22 spot you'd probably back Michie.

I'd be backing both. They both can find plenty of the ball which is a trait we lack. The best teams have 10 - 12 mids. Some play on the ball, some play half forward, some play half back.

those dinky little kicks coming out of the backline were clever and created play around him, very cotchin-like.now if only he can get it a hell of a lot more.

big pre-season coming up, as we need more midfield depth.

 

Half back was something new from him. And cleaner outside than previously. If we can't get a guy with these talents to be mainly a regular in a building bottom 8 team then we are doing something wrong.

Haven't seen much of him, but by quarter time I think it was clear he could be trusted to find a target coming out of defense. I found it strange that my heart wasn't in my mouth expecting the next kick to be a turnover.

He's in elite company at MFC. 100% certain round 1 2015, fully fit, he starts. And shows plenty from there.


Viv won't ever be a game-breaker, but he's streets ahead of most of our list in the simple fact that he rarely stuffs it up. He wins his own ball, has good hands and can be trusted to make a decent decision and hit his target over 30-40m.

22 of those and we'd beOK

We found a player here folks

And one with skills and great decision making, thank christ

Just watched the replay, if we can get the ball into Viv's hands more often we'd be a better side. He's got some speed, uses the ball well by foot! Hopefully we can get a full preseason into him!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
