Not really relevant to the thread title, but what a difference a successful season makes (other than Melksham’s lack of pressure) 

Credit to Nibbler for finding that missing 5% and then some. His defensive effort was great for years but he really did panic with the ball and at the contest. He and the coaches clearly did some fantastic work to cut out the fumbling and panic kicking that had plagued his game. One of the more stunning turnarounds. I expect he’ll poll very well in the B+F

    I hope the fact that he failed to make the cut at Melbourne hasn’t soured relations between Jeff and the club. He always seemed pretty happy as a Demon.

    From Woewodin article link posted in another thread

    Woewodin was one of several familiar names at the combine including Sharks teammates Josh Cripps (brother of Carlton co-captain Patrick), Corey Warner (brother of Sydney Swan Chad), South Fremantle’s Jesse Motlop (son of ex-Port Adelaide/North forward Daniel), Subiaco’s Richard Farmer (nephew of Melbourne champion Jeff) and Swan Districts’ Rhett Bazzo (son of late WAFL great Steve).

    You heard anything about Richard Farmer WJ ? That Round 21 performance looks impressive on paper

    Well said. Our most improved player by a mile for me after Kozzie.

    I reckon he found more than five % and has gone to a new level. Certainly fixed his goal kicking and seems to have become a lot more smoother. As you mentioned less fumbling.

    His running and tackling efforts are very, very good.

    When is the BNF?

    I don't think there is a date yet. One idea was to hold it at the G in front of fans but have heard nothing since.

    Don’t forget Salem. His already A+ performance goes to another level each year and he was outstanding in the GF.

    ANB also worked hard on his left foot, becoming very reliable on that side as well, gave him an extra string to his bow.

    Dunno about that. There's a high % of AFL footy fans that are women, many more than other male dominated sports, more so than cricket or soccer. I know of many footy mad mum's that have determined their kid's preferences. 

    Likewise most draftees want to be in the same state, the same city as their family. That would be the true 'overwhelming' factor.

    Whilst Jeff might have a soft spot for the Dees and say he'd like his kid there, the reality of family unity might not lure the kid far from home.

    But here's hoping he's a gun and chooses the Dees, hey...

    I wouldn’t under estimate the power of our recent flag in this. It makes us just so much more attractive as a destination. If you doubt that, just listen to the heart felt interviews with Jack Viney post the grannie where he related how hard it was for him when he first arrived at the Dees when we were the pits. It is so much easier when you are successful, that is assuming you are an elite talent which will enable you to make the team. Few are in that class…

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
