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.

quite agree about 2013

i blame prodee for that, he was the chief cheerleader for the classy outside mid

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
