ā€œIt was disappointing for him obviously, because he had a really good pre-season and had a few training sessions where he was playing in multiple positions and racked up a lot of possessions in some drills. Obviously he had the knee operation so it was disappointing he didn’t get to play any footy, but the amount of info you learn about yourself while going through rehab is incredible. From resilience, to training on your own, to mental toughness, to learning how to build relationships off field – that was huge for him. He went to a lot of games, coded a lot of footy – learnt how to break down a game. He can play multiple positions so when he is back and is available, I think he’ll be on track for a really good season.ā€ - Matt Egan MFC Head of Player DevelopmentĀ

A player that intrigues me the most on our list. Looking forward to seeing him play a few games.

That bridge can often fall down through no fault of your own doing.

I think in the depths of rehab one would be better recalling that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. :)

Getting away from the deep philosophy of life, can someone in the know suggest where he may fit in to our lineup?

Sounds like he’s either the bridge between our backline and forward line, or he’s going to fill the hole in defence.

Thanks. Ā So maybe another quick clean outside link like Langdon, and Tomlinson (though I accept that some here say the latter isn’t a quick link).

Yeah nah mono - I was just interpreting the psycho analysis above. I hope he is though ??


His more famous historical namesake mustĀ have been a Demon supporter.Ā 
As well as his better known ā€œwhat doesn’t kill us makes us strongerā€Ā Freddie also noted ā€œTo live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.ā€

Lets hope he did not learn how to break down a game from Egan,

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.Ā

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more Ā consecutive defeats.Ā
