    My favourite player already, alongside Tyson. But there a few guys that could join that list. Brayshaw, Hogan, Petracca. Clarry has the highest ceiling out of our mids though and I'd argue out of our players.

    big call ! higher ceiling than Hogan and Petracca ?I hope the two I've mentioned become superstars and Clarry goes even past them.

    Choo Choo looks the goods, but he needs to trust his ability to kick and not always handball.

    He seems to get clear then handball to someone else when I think a kick would be better.

    Petracca has a higher ceiling but Oliver is more consistently good.

    I think petracca  should always play half forward, Oliver is a pure midfielder

    Clarry doesn't remind me of anyone, which is a good thing, as he will create his own legacy.

    He has a fair bit of Cripps about him. More skilful though.

    He's a hugely exciting prospect. Once he develops a tank, look out.

    Prior to Goodwin, the last Ginger coach we had was Norm Smith.

    It's a bit like saying though who's the better player out of Franklin or Mitchell. Very hard to say. Both superstars.

    Ditto the Saints and McCartin.

    McCartin was taken in the Petracca/Brayshaw draft, I believe...

    A blond -- that could explain quite a lot ?

    Unfortunate placement, Bingers! Placed straight after a comment about Simon Goodwin could lead someone to believe that you see Michael Voss (as coach) in Simon Goodwin rather than Michael Voss (as player) in Oliver. At least, I hope you were talking about Michael Voss the player...

    For the purposes of certainty (putting on my lawyer hat), Oliver (the player) reminds me of Voss (the player).

    I loved the old Choo Choo bars !!!! They were great ! As were liquorice blocks ( 4 for a penny), teeth, liquorice all sorts, cobbers, not to mention fags. Which dummy thought naming them " fads " was a good idea ??? Probably the same idiot that changed the names Dick to Rick and Fanny to Franny in the Magic Faraway stories. Oops I seem to have strayed from the topic somewhat. 

    I believe young Clayton will turn out to be quite a decent player.

    • 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.
