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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
