This lane is a big tourist attraction- written up in many tour guides. This mural is great publicity for the Melbourne Football Club, and it further enhances our image with kids. You can't buy this sort of publicity/ exposure!!!!!

Not sure if I'm misreading Bugg's comments but is he really taking notice of Goodwin's comments:

{The tweet} was all in good fun – a bit of playful stuff, but it was light hearted. I have a good relationship with Jason [Johannisen] but my conversation with Goody (Simon Goodwin) is that we don’t want it to be the topic of conversation...“We played a really good game and all of a sudden it becomes a three or four-day talking point. I’ll learn to do it at a more appropriate time, but I still want to show my character and I still want to portray things the way I am.”

Also, does he have an inflated opinion of himself and his impact on the team and players?  Last time I looked Watts didn't need Bugg to 'come out of himself'.  Jack is a personality in his own right and its great that Bugg is also.  But he may need to pay attention to Goodwin's comments about the club being humble! 

Finally, this comment: “We’re sitting fifth – everyone’s excited. The supporters are excited, the club’s excited, the players are excited and I’m excited. I’m all about embracing the position you’re in and we’ve done so much hard work to get where we are, so I think we should be celebrating the little wins,” he said.  make me really, really nervous.  Was it Lewis that said wins should be expected rather than celebrated?. Someone should remind Bugg about not getting ahead of ourselves.  Hope Bugg and the team back up last week's win, tonight. Otherwise it is just hot air.

If the Players are setting new Standards i am all for it. If Tom has a big ego, fine. Walk the walk. For years all the MFC has done is talk hollow rubbish

Jason Akermanis had a huge ego, but he walked the walk and got 3 flags. 

If this is how Tom wants to operate, cool we need some arrogance. But it has to be backed up with Victories on a reguliar basis

Tom Bugg is an average footballer currently getting the most out of himself. He does that by being a [censored], and walking a fine line. 

Easton Wood lost his [censored] at him and we got a free goal because of Bugg's personality, arguably we could have had one before the opening bounce. 

This is Bugg's hot zone, if you want the most out of your players you see that and let them run with it. 

I understand where Goodwin is coming from, but I found his comments yawn worthy. Humble and respectful is probably the preferred and old fashioned way of going about things, but this is a new world of sport where things are a tad more exciting. 

 

(I have no doubt Bugg will have a shocker now that I've written this!)

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
