Love the cheer when the guns go up.

Who knew all that "gun shot" practice from Saty would pay off?

Yeh that's one for the ages man. Maybe the best "insider" vid i've seen from MFC

Love the fact the Club arranged the Hulk drop by and love that the players are enjoying themselves so much. I would imagine it is a way better place to be an AFL footballer than a couple of years ago

Onwards and upwards

Classic!

Chris Connolly carrying on about Freo making a play for Hogan stuck in my craw - fuelled by massive sour grapes I would think.

You seem surprised? I would be more surprised if the number of other clubs chasing his signature is less than 17. Whilst it's still early days, he is something special alright.

Doesn't come out of contract until the end of 2017, and you can bet like hell that we'd ensure that he sticks around for the entirety of that contract (unlike GWS). When the appropriate time comes, we'll give him a massive offer in both $ and years.

Fear not chook, this one's a stayer!

 

I'm not surprised or particularly worried but galled by Connolly's seeming delight in stirring up trouble.

This combined with his behaviour when he was with us makes me think he was a white ant in a past life.

i don't agree, he is still a Melbourne man, but of course free will go hard at hogan, it will be a constant struggle to keep him.

Chris Connolly is a chubby cretin whose unprofessionalism nearly brought us to our knees. It's no coincidence we started improving once his incompetent arse was shown the door. He is a suburban level jokester with no AFL level traits, substance, or relevance

Connolly and Schwab - what a comedy duo

As soon as Freo gave them the chop they became an ultra professional club and a perennial top 4 team.

We will follow the same path

I said in all seriousness a while back that he is the no.1 most valuable asset in the comp

We will have to endure a hellofalot more 'noise' from many clubs until he is signed again

then again for his 3rd contract

he's too good

I love what the club is doing with the players ..... They must have loved it. Will the hulk be at the game.

Fremantle will make a play for Jesse every year, he's just that good.

I'm very confident he's a demon at heart now through. And freo are going to be left in tatters by 2017

Both absolute campaigners.

Should not be allowed within 5km near the footy club. It does seem we are going down the same path as Freo.

Oh please He was part of the reason for the Debt Demolition ie saving this club........Spent a huge amount of time organising fund raisers at the Dee's and casey.

He played his football for Melbourne and Coached Freo into the finals for the first time in their history

So please enlighten me that he has no AFL level traits, substance or relevance. Yes he may have made some mistakes(Who hasn't) but he put his heart and soul into the Melbourne Footy Club.

It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard and knock people who have contributed to the club in ways you can only dream of.

You only show your ignorance.

This will be deleted soon, as well as my response, but what a ridiculous thing to say.

You don't know him, and the situation we faced as a club a few years ago cannot simply be laid at the feet of Schwab and CC. They love the club as much as you do.

And that little aside about the 'jokester' tells me you don't have much against him other than a bad joke that was jumped on by some bitter individuals to grind their axes on, that began the investigation into 2009.

Freo will need to trade for him if they want him.

We'll take Fyfe.


Just lock him in for a 10 year deal !

Freo will need to trade for him if they want him.

We'll take Fyfe.

Yeah, nah.

like most things in life the truth probably lies between the two extremes expressed here re Connolly.

He obviously did some good work for the club but I suspect he carries a chip on his shoulder about not being given the coaching gig and I doubt ever fully supported the coaches who were there during his time.

I can't understand him buying in to the Hogan/ Freo thing without there being some angst behind it. He was only stating the obvious after all

 

If Jesse scores the first goal he should celebrate something like this.

No we won't

If he wants to go they'll need to seek a trade. Who would you want?

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
