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.

What Tmac article?  I want to read it!!

Link is in the opening post

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! 🙂

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
