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

They both responded uproariously" Effin kiddin"

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.

Big call but I'm going to say it, he'll be better than Stringer.

Why duck for cover.  Does anyone doubt he will be better than Stringer

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

Thank christ the total opposite is happening under Roos.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
