The 'Mouse Pack'

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! 😅

    Just saw the T-Mac article and can't wait to check it out. Fountain of youth is an understatement.

    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.

    Surely Bowey is apart of the mouse pack too

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
