One thing I did like from the video is once he went to ground he was getting straight back up again, too many players take far to long getting back on their feet.

Shows a desire to compete

Remind anyone else of Frawley's chase on Jetta?

2010! Yes! Great chase.

Wouldn't say it's a master-stroke based on two pre-season games, but the early signs are very good.

I noticed McDonald himself was more assured of himself with ball in hand today too.

I actually think it was, and will prove to be, a masterstroke.

Pick 23 (or whatever it was) for this guy, especially in the context of the club losing our most experienced/best defender as a free agent to the Hawks, is an absolute bargain.

And we got Brayshaw for that defender we lost, whose absence I don't think will particularly hurt us given the recruitment of Frost.

Salem and Tyson for pick 2 was also a masterstroke.

The club finally seems to have worked out how to draft and trade players.

Y'know what's annoying? When you read a thread and find an entire page of a thread is filled with lame puns/jokes. I have no doubt it's hilarious when you're part of it...

I really didn't think it was worth such stern PUNishment.

What I find annoying - primary administrators who take it on themselves to decide what other people should find funny. There was nothing offensive in what was posted. You had no right to be so heavy handed.

Gawd, we've gone early here! Don't want to wait until he actually plays a game?

Dont need to. Showed great signs at GWS and has already shown in 2 games with the MFC that hes an athletic freak that takes game on.

People will soon be asking why GWS let him go,

Mate, I'm sorry, but most people open threads because they want to discuss the topic in the title. I have deleted posts I have personally found funny many a time, when they don't have a place on the site.

I'm not being the humour police, I'm being the needlessly and intentionally off-topic police.

I'm sure if WJ and Demonland think I'm too heavy handed, they'll bring it up with me.

Fair enough. Put it down to pre- Monday grouchiness

Will become a key to our defence for the next 10 years. He's an athletic freak and loves a contest. He'll play both shut down roles and rebounding roles. Another great recent piece of trading!

Cant think of any tall forwards with pace like that. Will be good to see him play on Bud though!!

Talk about a frosty reception (I'm hoping this wasn't one of the puns that was deleted).

Remind me - was that a few years back when he wanted to play for the Demons?

It's Lumumba by the way. However, you are not the only one putting an A instead of an O. Cheers mate.

O'Brien was a lot easier to spell (I think it was, not O'Brian)?

I think he was in the middle of contract negotiations

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
