All things considered, what a [censored] weak comment. 

Good on Jack, great effort, and such an impressive competitor.

No it wasn't! We selected $cully as number one and most form experts had $cully and Trengove as 1 & 2. It was not our recruiting team's fault that $cully was offered a $Million+ per year to go to GWS where he is amongst their best players. Are you suggesting that $cully would not make our top 22 (or for that matter not make Richmond's top 22)? ?

He is right though

we all thought it yesterday...

Disagree. That's not the case. Its an unknown as to what Trengrove would have achieved.

Trengrove looked promising in his first 2 years before injuries and the weight of the captaincy played its part. 

Poor injury management and the influence of our 'high performance' coaches and development programs snuffed out any chance of many of our high draft picks reaching their potential.

Same would have happened to Martin if he came to the MFC and probably worse given he had/has his own set of issues.

Can't see a club picking up Jack to play AFL but can see them putting him around their VFL squad to teach and develop them as a playing coach then moving to an assistant or development role with that club later.

Not too different to Matthew Egan who had is career cut short and is now with MFC.

Trengove was a good solid player, big heart. 

But he was always to slow to be considered as such a high draft pick

i thought that long before he was injured

$cully never wanted to be at Melbourne and as an athlete, should never been labelled number 1

He is a running machine

the only thing Dusty can do is play football and we didn’t even bother to chat to him

It summed up those dark dark years

Clueless

Fuxake, fence.  Bet you weren't complaining one iota in 2011/2012 when Trengove was one of the very few shining lights in our pus side.  Tell me when Trengove re-signed in the face of 186, we were up to our neck in the Scully thing, and Dustin Martin was nobody, you were saying "if only we'd picked Dusty".

I'm all for slamming the club for terrible recruiting.  Decisions like the Cook and Gysberts ones were a joke.  But sometimes you just have to accept that s*** happens.  He looked every bit an elite talent for years and is clearly a quality, professional individual.  Nobody could possibly have predicted that it would turn out the way it has.

I don't get this comment. Why do you say that?

No MFC listed player wants to win the b n f in the 2nds. It means they aren't playing in the ones..

I wonder Nasher had Richtank had first two picks who they would have chosen!?

All elementary of course now!

Pointless article as if was fit that preseason and everyone since his journey at our club may also have been far better?  or he may have been passed by the current first choice players such as Conca has been done at the tigers.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
