I take it as them saying a player is choosing to walk out on us to join another club and we foolishly bid him farewell and thanks, when we really should be p’d off with him. 

If we were [censored] off the story would be ‘dees mistreat Premiership hero and call his newborn baby slurs’ haha

He is such divisive little bottom feeder, whenever i see his face, i instantly think of a modern Cricket Bat

Not sure why….

Because it makes you feel like smashing it out of the park?

On the subject of media pile on, back in the old Herald and Weekly Times days their chief football writer was the legendary Alf Brown. Only he was privileged enough to have his own office in the sports department. One day a copy boy took offence to an article Alf wrote about a player whose name now escapes me. On a weekend when the office building was empty he went in there and had a [censored] inside the drawer of Alf’s desk.

Alf Brown

Alf's son Bruce played six senior games for Melbourne in 1971.

He mostly played reserves however and was good enough at that level to be a joint winner of the Gardiner Medal, the VFL seconds version of the Brownlow. 

Bruce then went to Essendon in 1972, but played just the one game for them before moving to the VFA.

Sam Landsberger. RIP. Tremendous loss to the footy world and journalism.  He was not a vulture like other dirt mongers like McClure or Barrett etc. 

He accepted the Neal-Bullen position  “Dees have handled this with maturity and acceptance”. 

He saw the Dees list correctly. “Draft the elite kids. They’ve drafted superbly in the last 10 years.  Stop getting in the Billings and Fullerton types.  Dees can rebound back “.  
 

Noted Jay Clark 💩💩💩try to again spike up the culture issue and the likely loss of Kozzzzy.

I sense the spotlight is going to be thrust on Collingwood and Carlton now. Carlton moreso from a playing and FD POV. 

i'll be interested to genuinely see how the media treat Collingwood now - purely to compare whether there is actual bias when it comes to teams. 

They have had a poor season, failing to make finals as a reigning premier. They have had Noble request a trade. But its the back-office too. Particularly the departure of Graham Wright and now the papers are reporting the accusations made against their CEO. It certainly is a comparable situation to MFC.

On the socials … 

Very interesting and absolute hypocrisy by the media today. 
McInerney goes back on with a totally stuffed shoulder, now misses the GF and needs surgery 
Trac does the same thing and MFC doctors are totally vilified by the scumbags in the media!!!
Just want the media to be consistent.

Bone/ligaments vs internal organs are very different.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
