Is that Pedersen I spy in the circle in the photo on the MFC facebook page?

 

If that's the ocean in the background then that photo wasn't from today. 

If Pedo played today that is beyond [censored] stupid.

Jesus.  Why would they do that?  Social media 101 surely.

I thought it odd that not one of the reports thus far mentioned that he played - I'd have thought that to be a pretty key piece of information.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's from Williamstown. No way he played today. 

Personally I hope they roll with it now and post that photo every week until someone notices.

That photo is from the Round 1 game v Williamstown at Burbank Oval, they've used it a couple of times for different games just because it's a nice picture

I hope the selectors aren't considering JKH for QB. Although he played a very good game what what I can see he needs to put it together in consistent performances with high tackle and work rate being the highlight. Both were completely absent during his games with the seniors this year. 

He also tends to go to water with high pressure. Well done to him for this game though, keep it going and who knows....

They were wearing the white clash top this round which is even worse that the MFC white top. 

Maybe that's why they resisted using a photo from this game!

Thanks.  It's probably obvious to the locals, but I'm from Tassie and wouldn't know Burbank Oval from the Gabba.  Unless it's the MCG or Etihad, good chance I've never been near it...

A bit higher resolution and we'd be able to see your smoke signals in that photo, Nash.

they were wearing white today and that looks suspiciously like the ocean in the background.

Could this be alternative/false news

Yes - confirmed as just being a stock photo from earlier in the year.

We cant afford for that to happen, especially when another high pick, Brayshaw, has huge question marks over his health.

Interesting point, but can't go with you on that one. Darcy's kicked a lot of goals. He's the full 200cm beanpole. Has been under pressure this year a lot, with no help, and is still looking good the last few weeks. Did enough last year to warrant them getting rid of Cloke. Weed's a ways off Darcy at the moment. That kid will be a star.

47 touches at any level is a hard days work. Jkh lives!

Complete tangent here, but Boomer Harvey had 50+ touches and 9 goals a week ago in whatever league he's playing in now.  Apparently he can still play a bit.

47 touches in any way shape or form is ridiculous. 8 tackles too. Seems like we had some sort of heavy handball game going maybe?

Incredible though. I do really like JKH. And I think Goody does too. I hope he comes good. There's others on the list I'd see delisted before him (though not many).

Theres definitely something to work with JKH, can see him being rookie listed if they want to delist him and make a spot on the main list.

Could be Jetta 2.0

Without passing judgment on Kennedy-Harris either way, I take zero notice of a 47 disposal game in the VFL.

Why ask for stats on a game, then say you take 'zero notice' of a 47 stat disposal game?

Because there are stats and there are stats.  I'm interested in how many marks a young key forward is taking, who is kicking the goals, and how a player like Trengove is going.

That said, I'll fess up a little.

I'd be far more impressed if Trengove got 47, because I know how he uses it.  So to contradict myself I am probably making a veiled criticism of JKH even if I was at pains to suggest I wasn't.

Especially as it was against the bottom side who has yet to win a game.

28 hand balls! Were more than 10 to advantage?

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
