Is there an echo in here?

Happy to hear this. Need all the leadership we can get.

I almost beat Peter Ryan in my defence

    Couldn't agree more re the leadership situation (same goes for Tmac), but also, while I know Milkshake has his detractors (on this forum at least) I am rapt he stays on for his footy smarts, skills and forward line marshalling. We are always better with him in the side, and miss him greatly when he isn't. And good on him for being rewarded for staying the course - he could have easily run up the white flag with that knee. A class act...

    Are all those that kept saying he was only getting a game because he is mate of Goodwins' or that he has photo's of Goodwin in previous years going to support this, the hypocrites will of course.

    Absolutely fair and with several outgoing players it looks like depositing are done which is one very small but good side effect of Nibbler, Gus horrors! Then Brown retiring & Tommo moving on with KFW & JS delisted were prob basically done with Hore waiting til end of trade period to hear his fate. Smith obviously still on list which seems a mute point to me now but if allowed to play next year I guess it makes sense but that while mess id rather just see forget the whole thing tbh. Hunter id expected to hear about by now but think surely that’s on cards.
     

    Continuity of list is a VERY good thing..

    To be honest, our depth is so poor, we are in no position to be pensioning off the likes of Melksham and T Mac. It's not a slight on these two, but we have noone coming through the ranks to challenge them for a place in the team.

    It was a no brainer that Melksham and T Mac would be given another year.

    Very happy to have Jake Melksham commit to another year he and TMac provide strength of character experience and leadership to our group.

    Great signing. Really improved our forward line when he came back into the side with his field kicking, goal assists, and on field leadership. I know it's highly unlikely, but gee I'd love to see Melk win a flag.

    I think his detractors have shrunk over the journey.

    Fully behind Melk getting an extension, our fwd line functions better when he’s up there and just a great person to have around a team that feels like is starting to skew younger.

    Happy with this. Do we know if he stays on as a rookie or back on the main list?

    Agree with the “one more year”.  Mainly because our erosion of depth and Melksham can help guide others.  I think he stays on a lower dollar contract based more on games played.  Definitely the forward line looked more potent with him in the team and his kicking for goal is elite (unlike most others).

    IMO a good signing.   
    Experience.
    Leadership.  
    Poise.  
    Skills. 
    And he has really only had a couple of months of match day battering this year that should leave him quite a bit fresher than many of his team mates and opponents.

    I would be looking at him playing this year with a view to a Coaching post if it can be done in a later time.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
