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 IF IF IF IF!!

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.

See my post earlier, Tom Rehn reported Dees were circling

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.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    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.
