Over many years i have often wondered whether the MFC has actually wanted to chase success...

decisions like passing on Wines when his FIRST GAME against us was BOG keep the theory alive sadly.

IF we picked up Ollie, who know we may have won a few more and missed on Clarrie?

Too many IFs.  

IF we picked Dusty, Buddy etc etc.  

Water under the bridge.  

 

Second efforts are pretty essential in football. Why not in recruiting?

Wow, so does that mean there will be a lot of players pushed out of PA given how much they spent on their new players  (ie Watts, Rocky, Motlop), with a 4 year deal to Wines added to this?

Yikes! Corporate memory! You remember back that far or was it just an inordinately bad call and will go down in history

Wingard might be worth looking at

Good on him for signing a new deal.  Always like seeing players show loyalty to the club that drafted him.

I hope he also looks forward to have Clayton Oliver crap all over him on Friday night as well.

Dees were circling with big offers apparently, I wonder who was on the table?

Source?

I think I heard "Melbourne offers" not "Melbourne's offer".

He can still ask for a trade if it doesn’t work out or gets [censored] off for some reason.

Don’t let go of the dream peeps.

Is that what Rehn actually said?  All I got was that we were 'rumoured' to be interested, nothing about big offers being tabled.

Tom Rehn on SEN said Dees were circling at around 4pm today

As for big offers perhaps I misread Jon Ralph post, however you’d be certain it wouldn’t be small if anyone was trying to entice him anyway

When was the last time Rehn got something right?

How he gets airtime on SEN is beyond me.  That said, he's not on his own.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
