Missed 16 games due to persistent hamstring injuries in 2021. 

5 games, one of which was as a medical sub. 

Now delisted from a side which finished bottom of the ladder.....after being moved on from Port as well....and people entertain the idea of bringing him to Melbourne?

Perhaps he might be a better player within a club where he's at absolute best out 22nd best player (at absolute best). Would get far more attention by opposition at kangas. I still say no to taking him as I think he's a dud but in a top 2 team, it's not impossible that he could provide something

What a mess Norf have to clean up, 700k a year for another 2 years in the cap, money to burn in there cap.

Unbelievable recruitment strategies by the Woos.

Jared Polec is a great idea. Why not. While we’re at it we should ask Jonathan Patton if he’s interested in resuming his footy career with us as well.

Apparently Tom Scully wants to make a romantic return to Melbourne were it all began for him - it helps that international flights to China are banned. Plus the small detail of finding his dad a spot paid for in the cap

Yes one Clubs  poison can be another Clubs treasure.

And the last poison turned out to be a real treasure on GF day and previously where he majorly helped right our forward  line connectivity and balance which propelled our attack to un heard of  versatility and ability.

When in doubt kick the ball high to Benny was used at least a half a dozen times especially in the Granny with great effect. Bens long straight arms were never quelled on the bug GF stage and gave out attack a sense of surety not seen before. This on half a season also!!

Of course Polec is a different cat but he is a ferocious finisher with the ball and has genuine pace to burn. Any position on HB wing or HF he would need minding and be a real menace albeit depth fir our 2022 campaign.

Rosman and Baker would be challenged as well as our culture but I think we are big boys now and can handle with our coaches precocious talent for the  team mantra thing Jared has never quite bought into yet on his AFL journey.

Martin Pike says hi from the Brisbane Lions !!!

No doubt he is a better player than Baker, but we don't need flaky, 29-year-old, injury prone guys even if Norf was going to pay most of his wage!

Why on earth would we want a 29 year old?  We are not coming up to a premiership window, we have smashed the door down and grabbed the cup.

Our goal to goal line is starting to look old.

Lets pick someone with youth and exuberance, which is what won us the cup.

St Kilda perhaps...

Have a feeling Polec only runs one way.

Didn't fit the MFC ethic.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
