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)? ?

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.

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!

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
