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.

Another one locked in.

Exactly.  Another player shows faith in the club and the direction it is heading in.  Great stuff.

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.

I do too. I think Fritsch will be taking the position made vacant by Watts. 

well they could do worse than that!

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

Gonna be a very interesting R1 22.

I have absolutely no idea.

 

Hasn’t the wheel turned full circle - we used to hope for players to come, now we hope the ones we’ve got will stay.

This is great news. 

Found this on youtube, his groundwork and the time from taking the ball to kicking is unreal.... enjoy.

 

 

Plus he can take a grab :)

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.

Fantastic news!

What's  not to like about Hannan? Only one season in and he has shown a lot of tricks. Great pickup and will only get better.

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

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
