Sorry to be a spelling stooge, but it was Pike with an ' i ' not a ' y '.  But yes, correct that we were his first AFL club.

Pike along with Scott Thompson, Jeff Farmer and Jeremy Howe could probably headline an alternate list of players that the MFC lost to other clubs during the same era.  Pike would be the only one of the aforementioned that was actually discarded by the MFC, but probably went on to become the most sucessful.  Gee I wish we could have held onto him, as I recon he could have made a big difference in the 2000 GF.

 

In round 2 of this year, 9 of our starting 18 versus the Bears were recruited from other clubs.

On the weekend there were just 5, with two of those in Bernie and Lewis potential outs for next year

A number of our other inter-club recruits are now on the outer - including Tyson, Bugg, Pedersen, Garlett and Frost.

I think our in-house development programme could now be considered probably okay.

Top 10 ... 100+ games

1- Jeff Farmer

2- Jeff White

3- Laurie Fowler

4- Brian Wilson

5- Brett Lovett

6- Brent Moloney

7- Anthony Ingerson

8- Gary Baker

9- Peter Rhode

10- Daniel Ward

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
