    You forgot possibly the best two, the only two really of much value from the Druggies (Gary Moorcraft and Michael Heffernan didn’t set the world on fire,  

    Michael Hibberd

    Jake Melksham 

    Also Jeff Farmer did ok !

     

    4 of our current best 26 Hibberd, Melksham, Lewis, Vince is pretty decent pickings. And Pedo, though not currently in those ranks, has turned out to be a dedicated hard working and reliable back up.

    The last two ex-Hawthorn players we've recruited (who played a senior game):

    David Flintoff - 1988 via Central Districts

    [nobody for an unusually long time]

    Jordan Lewis - 2017

    Despite near miss involving half the squad at the end of 1996, no player crossed directly between the clubs and played a senior game between Roger Ellingworth in 1986 and Cameron Bruce in 2011.

    Also I'd like to request a mention of Ross Funcke.

    Tom Gilles

    2 games for MFC. A 79 point loss followed by a 148 point loss.

    If he doesn't have the worst % in club history I'm not sure I wanna know who does

    Frosty has been missed in the lists above

    Ben Newton from Port a few years back. Thought he was going to turn out as a good player.

    Brent Williams and Matty Collins. 

    Pity we couldn't get something out of Williams. He had heaps of talent, but no application. Ended up kicking bags of goals in the Eastern Footy League.

    We drafted Troy, and were his first club.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
