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!)

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
