Wow!

Yes.  Wow!  Fierce little bugger isn’t he? A lot like Cyril.

Will Brooooce latch on to Kyssssiaaaaiah?

I know highlights are exactly that, highlights, but not many people can make highlights like that. 
 

Highlights.

I’m preparing myself for some frustration with Pickett. I’m sure he has potential to do some amazing things but the knock on him was he lacked consistency. 

Contacting the club tomorrow to have him on my 2020 membership. So excited we picked him up, his highlights have it all, exactly something we’ve lacked for many years. Can’t wait to see him play live, so far we’ve only booked for QB, will be revisiting the draw tomorrow.

loved the tears from his grandma and serious look of pride from Goody in the wash up. 

we really wanted him and it means a huge amount to him and his family. can't love it enough. the follow up shepherd he laid in his highlights on tv was enough to say yep worth every cent 

Spot on.

My heart is already invested in this kid.

Will likely be a personal favourite for me very early into his MFC career.

This kid is just what this club was crying out for. In spades.

Bring on 2020. My heart’s beating again.

A very common criticism of small forwards by the way. 

Hope we are organising the support system for him now. What’s Byron doing these days? And we have Matty Whelan and Nev.

Club website says he is from Western Australia. I thought he was from Sth Aust ? Rapt to have him...just what we need 

One word description Nasty!  At last, at last!

Love that clip.

Those two hits were dyn-o-mite!

If I'm reading things correctly, he's an inch shorter than The Wiz & an inch taller than Boomer....is there a problem?

Love it. Can't wait to watch him.

I genuinely miss the excitement that Wona, Davey, Jurrah, the Wiz, Pickett, Whelan, Garlett brought to our footy club with pace, hardness, skill and brilliant footwork. 

Loved watching all those guys,    good luck mate !!

As an aside, I loved seeing Brad Green back in an MFC polo.

The guy is a club legend, and (as everyone knows) he has endured seriously tragic and unwanted life experience in recent times - and he’s handled it with true class, integrity and courage.

In this context, it was really pleasing to see him welcoming Kysaiah to the club on the MFC’s behalf.

We had an appalling season this year - but it’s reassuring to see that the professional and respectful standards that we’ve displayed in recent years are still very apparent from the club.

Typo

Our coaches haven't shown any great ability to train front and centre or pressure. We've trained up ball winning and I think we've trained up a pretty fit squad (up until last year). And rightly or wrongly we've trained a team that can get the ball inside 50.

Yeah I'd rather use pick 20, and yes I wonder if the mid sized Bergman or the slightly bigger Weightman were better picks but the speed to the drop of the ball, the taps on, the pressure. There's so much to like. 

He's not just flukey and flashy, he does all the defensive stuff.

Fan-effen-tastic!

This way, young man....

In the highlights video he's playing for:

WWT reserves
WWT seniors
SA under 18 v Glenelg
SA under 18
AFL rising stars game - white
AFL academy v Casey

And there's nothing from school games there.

I know most young guys go through a similar thing but for an instinctive player who clearly feeds off and works well with team mates there's potentially a heap of improvement for settling him in the same side - Casey if not the AFL team - and letting him play with team mates who know his game.

His possession totals could quickly elevate by a couple of kicks and handballs and at least dispel any concerns that he doesn't get the ball enough.

Good luck with that. I think Pert has issued instructions to cut costs. You need to pay extra for your choice of player on the card and the choices are limited to around 6 players.


I like that he not only can take a hanger, but that he stayed down and crumbed a beautiful goal too.

and that chase and bump to free up his team mate brought tears to the eyes.

He’ll do me. Nice work Mr Taylor.

First stop after arriving in to the MFC needs to be a barber! What a mop of hair ?

Hmmm a team with an absolute abundance of inside midfielders and utilities should have selected another inside midfielder and a utility who is out for 12 months?   

 

That makes perfect sense. 

Totally depends how you see Melbourne list currently and whether it's a genuine flag chance next year. Oliver is the only inside mid of A grade quality (Viney, Harmes and Petracca are not of that quality) and we're light in defence. Pickett may have been there for our 2nd rounder, if not someone still decent to help forward. Amazed how many don't rate Green 

Welcome Kozzie!  Very nice highlights package. Wrapt with this he is exactly what we need. 

Brave calls from Taylor tonight. Nailed it. Love it.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
