Saw this on mfc website about TMac  mcdonalds-full-circle-back-to-the-future  It is terrific to see him fit, healthy and playing good footy again.

This comment from him caught my eye:

"It’s a growing group of young Demons taking their place in the senior side that is giving McDonald that excitement about what’s ahead.  “I think they call themselves the Mouse Pack,” he says.  “Those six or seven of those boys. Van Rooyen, Judd (McVee), Howesy.  All that sort of group that got drafted together and just hilarious.

I checked that year's (2021) draft and counted 5:  MSD - Turner.  Nathional Draft - van Rooyen, Howes, Woewodin.  Rookie Draft:  McVee so I guess there are a few others in the 'pack'.

 

@kev martin @WalkingCivilWar and other track watchers, have you heard or seen anything about the 'Mouse Pack'?

Anyone else have any ideas what the name means and who the other one or two players in the pack might be?

Love that group growing together just as Brayshaw, Petracca, Salem, Oliver et al did.  The 'Mouse Pack' is our future.  Great base for mateship and helping keep interstate players here.  And of course, build another premiership team.

Playing footy with one's mates - does it get any better than that.

Its times like this I really miss 'Gus and Gawny'.  They would be all over 'Mouse Pack' news!

 

Edit:  As Gus is still working with the club, I wonder if they could resurrect the podcast, even if occassionally!

My first thought was 'Mickey and The Mousepack'.

The best part of that interview was the fact that Tom asked to play defense again, at the end of last season. 
 

Saved your career Tom. Well played

I haven’t heard about this, Luci. But we all know I’ll find out. As sure as the sun rises in the east etc. I’ll find out! 😅

The 'Mouse Pack' did good yesterday😁.

@WalkingCivilWar any more info on who is considered part of the pack.  TIA.

 

Looking forward to many, many more games like yesterday.  Love 'Colt's' feistiness and that Big Max took on that smug (but brilliant) upstart #9.

I would say TMac probably knows as he made the original comment.

They all live close to each other in the Chadstone area, Tholtrup with McVee, Roo and AMW. Chin lives just across from Roo and AMW as far as I can remember. Think Howes is that way also.

I haven’t been Tim Lambs greatest fan of late but credit where credits due-

I do remember him saying in an interview about the time all the mouse pack was drafted that we internally recruit groups of talented young players in burst over a two year period to bring them through together.

The guy who introduced them to us is doing OK, too! 🙂

    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.

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.
