Had a good yarn to Lewis at the Sorrento pub last night, with a mutual friend. Tried not to bother him at too much length about footy but he's EXTREMELY excited about starting with the club and

Lewis was my neighbour until a few years ago.  A top fella, who has an extremely sharp football brain.  Even in our darkest hours, he insisted that I stick fat as he was sure there were good times to

This is a big tick for Goodwin as well (Do we buy a case of something for our recruiting department? I think they have kicked this one over the wheat silo) Could not be more stoked or surprised - and if Lewis comes to the MFC then anyone can, we are a #destinationclub.

Wow and we didn't even give up any picks? Just downgraded our 3rd and 4th rounders? Mahoney is a genius.

Amazing really, I think the smoke and mirrors is to confuse some Hawthorn supporters into thinking they got two picks. Great trading by Mahoney and the FD. Two small downgrades - Wow!

I'm assuming that the players we are going to pick with those picks will be available regardless of pick 48 or pick 57 and pick 66 or pick 68.

Great win by the Dees.

What a great PR exercise for us and a terrible one for the Hawks!  if they had worked with Lewis to find a trade they would have gotten a pick in the 30's at least

Unbelievable deal!

Less than 6 months until round one!   Hurrraahhh!   **cough

I love his use of the word that I have put in bold below.

"I looked at every Club in the competition and after going through every list, Melbourne was the one that stood out – if I wasn’t going to be at Hawthorn. It was clear to me that I wanted to play for the Melbourne Football Club.

“I then met with Goody, Josh and Todd early last week and following that, it really solidified my thoughts about joining Melbourne.

“I believe in what the Club is building. There is some outstanding young talent at the Club and that is an area I can certainly play a role in – mentoring and developing those players both in an on-field and off-field sense. 

“I’m really looking forward to this new challenge. We have a lot of work to do but from what I know, and from what I have seen firsthand, the players seem up for the fight and I can’t wait to get to work at the Club."

I shall add to the chorus.  Great news.  Really rate this guy.  Have enjoyed watching him on AFL 360.  Hope he continues on there next year - in his new livery, of course!

Go Dees!

This is a brilliant move.

We absolutely lack mature leadership. This takes so much pressure off Jones, and Bernie who I think is on his last legs. 

It means we have someone who can mentor our young players, and show them what it takes to be part of a premiership club, while also being a big body to support our developing mids and help push them when things are not going our way during games.

I strongly believe that Goodwin has his eyes firmly set on making finals next year.

Maybe one day we'll even be "the team that's the hardest to play against in the AFL".

Too soon?

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were on hand at Monday morning's preseason training at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their brief observations of the session. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
