Pert is fine. Cook has been spoken too

no idea how it went

Another ex player on the Board was my feeling

So you're saying Cook was spoken to about a board position?

    I know he has been spoken to

    That is all i know AF

    (Maybe to help negotiate our Training Base) 

    I have no idea what the outcome is at this stage

    Oliver has now played 90 games in a row, third longest streak in the AFL.

    Trac has played 62 in a row good for 11th in the AFL, and Ed Langdon 61 which is 12th.

    We have a few iron men in the engine room!

     

    The next highest for Melbourne is 28 in a row for Jake Lever, and it isnt it amazing what some continuity can do for a player as Jake is in All Australian form.

    Saw a pretty meaningful moment for me during last week's game, forgotten who we played, but two of our tough nuts both together at the same moment tackled an opposition player, with a ferocity that i hadn't seen for a couple of decades.

    Ill just leave it up to you who i'm talking about.

    After all the constant conjecture and speculation about his future, I am pleased we now have closure.

    Good on you Clarry and well done MFC!

    Can we just make clear this is nothing to do with Pert's position as CEO?

    I believe it's seen as solid.

    I've been seeing it most weeks. The ones who consistently get in to help tackle and create a stoppage are Kozzy and Spargo. But overall as you say team tackling has been excellent.

    I realise this is easy to say now that it's done, but I was never really worried about this. This is the guy who, when told he needed to lose weight as a junior, just stopped eating. Getting bogged down in details isn't his style. I highly doubt he's the type of person who would want to bother himself protracted contract negotiations to squeeze out a few extra bucks, or to make ultimatums about team success.  

    I feel the same will be true when he's a FA in 2023. So long as the MFC open with an offer that is fair and reasonable for a player of his calibre, it will resolve with no fuss.

    Great news. Clarry might actually be our best midfielder in a very long time.

    Right up there with Greg Wells, Gerard Healy, and in my humble opinion better than Brian Wilson, Cameron Bruce or Todd Viney.

    Funny how they all look just about the same age, yet they are not, and ANB and Spargo are sharp shooters.

    Funnier still how cocky Clark and miskick Miers couldn't get over being rushed and being caught.

    Brian Wilson would love playing in this current side!!

    FWIW I think Wells and Healey also kicked lots of goals. Healey also played as a forward and kicked 90? One year.

    I really do like the intensity and hardness, we are applying all over the ground at the moment.

    This intensity will take us a long way against mentally weaker clubs, Our lot seem to believe that there will be support for them if they muck up a handball or pickup.  And it has been there on most occasions .   Not sure I would have wanted to play against this quality of team,   Far too fast, and too intimidating.   But I love watching and supporting it.  Whoever brought this in is to be congratulated. I think the talent has mostly been there, but not the implementation.  Are they just a little bit older and wiser ?

    Pretty close there, bushy.  Healy won the goalkicking with 77 in 1982, finishing just one in front of Mark Jackson, who remarkably kicked 76 goals in each of his two seasons with us.

    Healey was a true champion's champion, particularly just before he was tempted by Sydney to re-locate. He was doing magical things in the forward line - an immense talent at that point.

    I get the impression that Iva has heard or been told similiar things to myself. 
    but I cannot confirm that. Pert is the CEO, he is not going anywhere. BC doesn’t want to be CEO at Jeelong anymore, but he has been spoken to by people at MFC to come back home in some capacity. 
    That is as much as i know. 
    @iv’a worn smith

    may have far more concrete info.

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop SWYL. I shouldn’t compare the two,  but getting an elite home base would feel almost as good as winning a flag! If BC were to come on board and help with that in someway, then brilliant.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
