    It’s a nothing article, really.

    That said, I always enjoy reading an article where a Melbourne player is quoted as saying they love the club.

    This guy is going to be an absolute gun. But everyone knows that.

    His signature was our success in 2017.

    Not living in Melbourne, I don't really understand the Romsey comment, so I can only guess that it has something to do with the community in that part of the world.

    Anyways, my preferred quote from the article is:   "The footy club is in a really good position and I am just loving every minute here, to be honest."  I know we've all heard it a dozen or more times, and in reality, what else, could he have said (?), but none-the-less it still warms my red and blue heart a tad.

    PS  Please bring on the Maroochydore camp, so that we will have some real footy news to comment on.

    Just additional incentive for him to win games so we get the odd Friday night game in 2019.

    His home town is about 50 mins north of the Melbourne CBD, so he can scoot out of town and go see his mates/family/team play when he can.

    Still cant believe we got him.  Best young key defender in the game with a decade of elite footy ahead of him.

    Is that a big enough 'fish' for everyone?

    I think the comment relates to our multiple Friday night games we are scheduled for....

    or not.

    Romsey/Lancefied is a beautiful part of the Macedon ranges.  BUT, emphasis is on Jake wanting to come home AND he chose us, being able to go to any Vic club. Bummers would have been more convenient.

    The other aspect of the article is just how stressed his life has been last few months, yet he turns up to training early in peak condition.

    Professional.  And only 21.

    Unfortunately Sue, Collingwood or Carlton could go winless this year (what a delicious thought) and they’d get more Friday night games than us.

    And Romsey’s a nice town, not too far from where I live.

    Lol, just discussing this with my wife who grew up in and around Gisbourne/Macedon. Unfortunately, Romsey is the backwater of the area known as the ‘inbred’ kinda spot where there’s only four families but relative (pun intended) exponential population growth! 

    A little bit ‘Deliverence’.

    No slight on Jake, though, what a get for MFC! Carn Dees!

    So, Jake has six toes on one foot and plays the banjo?

    I think one of the best parts of our recruiting of the last two years is that we got two blokes of high quality (though some of Jordie's on  field sniping might bring him down in some people's eyes) in Lever and Lewis. What's even better is that they wanted to come to us.

    It shows we are no longer a cultural backwater like in the days of Beamer's biffs and bruises drinking sessions. I remember is throwing the shop at Luke Ball in 2009 and him bit wanting a bar of us. We got the usual suspects come out and tell us how it was such a huge mistake on his behalf as we had a way higher ceiling than Collingwood (Chortle). It just went to show that the place was rotten and Ball (and Judd before him) knew it.

    These days the Balls come to us and not vice versa.

    i'm sure uncle bitters would make an excellent exhibit 1 for the prosecution

    Lever's a good intercept marking 3rd defender that doesn't play on the number 1 gun forward if I recall at Adelaide. He'll hopefully be a great acquisition for our defence.

    Now who take Hawkins in round 1? He slaughterd both McDonalds in our last meeting and I can't recall Frost ever winning a duel against a premium A Grade forward?

    You can add to Lever and Lewis the recruitment of Melksham and Hibberd, too. Not because they were both superstars, but because they chose us and not as a last resort.

    It's not just Hawkins, the big forwards always kill us. Daniher, Ben Brown, Grundy in r23, Roughead and the other bloke in the 23 for the Hawks who killed us this year (edit - O'Brien), Franklin who usually does a number on us.

    I guess they're hoping OMac and/or Frost will come on in leaps and bounds this year and have faith that our midfield strength and zone defence will do the trick. We will still be vulnerable to the "one out" or get out long bomb to the big forwards though.

    Most of those forwards do numbers on most teams

    With no response from the beast to date, one can only assume it has gone to ground in respect 

    of the conclusive evidence, and exposure, as revealed by members of this forum, of the debauchery that occurs 

    in and around Romsey with the Manor being the central hub and gathering place of all the 2 headed,

    wine swilling igor types, but have no doubt , it will be planning some sort of revenge attack on those who 

    seek to expose the true nature of all happenings in and around the area.

    You have reason to be afraid.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
