All top 3 draft picks in that photo.

It shows how much talent we now have.

Wish they would stop crackin gags though.

Viney beating up McDonald is no laughing matter.

 

boys will be boys.

Good to see training getting real. For far too long its been seen as playtime in the park. Now all and sundry might take a step back, have a think about what it is to play footy, for real, at the top level and get on with it.

Hopefully Jack saves some 'angry stuff' for opposition players !!

Jacko was/is a little bit 'special' :rolleyes:

Viney was just his usual overenthusiastic self. 

I thing we have some antler rucking here that's all. 

We move on

I don't think anyone would have believed you if you'd said that by 2016 there would only be three of those players left on our list and six of them no longer in the AFL.

For me, it's clearly a by-product of the standards Viney is setting and the culture the club is trying to foster.

I can remember watching training under Bailey and Neeld and the players were stuffing about by playing tricks and games on one-another throughout the session and individual drills. Where's your head at when you're behaving like that?

What you do at training....

No wonder the coaches keep reinforcing the behaviour rhetoric.

Viney could've been given instruction to ruffle Tommys feathers for all we know.

The more competitive the team becomes, the more battle hardened individuals will need to become.

All that talent and not one A grader, maybe Frawley and he is gone. Who is the guy between Blease and Maric?

I want to know how those matchstick legs managed to hold up the rest of Mortons body 

Edited by nutbean


It's stunning how we managed to stuff up so many first round draft picks from that period - whether it be the player selected, development or otherwise.

The club seems to have landed on the right formula now: hard body and ultra competitive character. Roos' non negotiables.

He kicked 40 goals in his second season he can write he's own cheque, personally I think the AFL should look into some of Fremantles dealings there morals are extremely low.

Oh, yeah.  The "Integrity Branch" or whatever joke name they give it will do their usual under table, under carpet brushing.

So many non-competitive players drafted around that time. Scary really.

Thank christ the total opposite is happening under Roos.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
