Who do we need to sign down now? T.Mac, Hunt and Brayshaw? I haven't kept up with the contracts over the off season.

See this thread.

Great signing!

I know Fritsch is all the rage at the moment (and rightly so) but I think half-forward is Hannan's to lose at this stage.

From media I’ve read about Fritsch, it sounds as though he’s got a great field kick and rarely misses a target. Unfortunately for Hannan, this is an area he needs to improve upon. Too many missed short-range targets last year might give Fritsch an advantage depending on the role they’re given.

Both know how to snag a goal that’s for certain.

Well done Mitch. Be assured the club values your commitment and your skills.

To those of us outside of the inner sanctum, it appears we have a group of talented players who want to be playing footy with each other in pursuit of the AFL's highest prize.

Melbourne Football Club, under the stewardship of PJ, PR their management and coaching crews (and their successors) is finally start to look like a team on a mission. The many young guys who have now signed on to be part of our tilt at a flag is an inspiration and motivation to all who are involved in the club. 

Bring on 2018 so we can let our playing group loose, to do what they have in their minds and bodies to do. Play some brilliant footy.

Watched a few replays of or better 2017 games over the summer and one thing which really stood out is how much pace Hannan has.  Would have to be up there with the quicker players in the side.  

Certainly like his work inside the forward 50 arc, good mark, good positioning and both a good set shot and oppertunist goal sense.

Another great signing by the club.

I reckon they want to play both.

Great news! Something Mitch offers is the ability to just get the ball to his boot and put it in the vicinity of the goal. To use a soccer term he turns a half chance into a goal quite naturally.

He is the quickest hands to boot  player I've ever seen and it's no accident when it goes through the goals

From the first game I watched him play, he had one elite skill, and that is ball to foot speed. Consistently faster than anyone else I have ever seen. 

Also like his work in the air. Hits a pack like a much taller player.

 

Very very happy with this news.

One of the things I like about Hannam is that he accelerates into contact and uses his body to impact the opposition.

For some reason his movement, snaps and leap reminds me of Gary Ablett Snr... which can only be good.

Agree

Has really come a long, long way - he does hit the contest very well

Good pick - welcome to future success, young man

I'd extend Jetta but I don't think that's a huge issue. I wonder if Harmes isn't worth getting done before the season to get him cheaper so to speak.

Obviously the club would want to sign Brayshaw and Oscar but I'd probably let them play and earn the bigger deals if they want them.

No idea what to do with Tom McDonald.

Good aerialist too, although Fritsch might match him there with a little less dynamism

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
