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.

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?

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
