    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.

    • 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.
